Chris Craft Catalina 281

This has been one of my favorite boats with solid construction, comfortable ride, and theeconomyof a single engine with thesafetyandmaneuverabilityof twins however I'm moving up to a larger boat that can more easily travel to the keys.This classic cruiser has had her systems updated and re-powered earlier this year, she is back to her original glory as a classic hardtop cruiser. Her hull is a thick solid launched in 1977, updated and re-powered in 2015. Almost everything mechanical in the engine compartment has been replaced or rebuilt including all thru-hulls replaced.Features a custom designed hardtop that covers the entire deck, perfect for getting out of the Florida sun or when those thunderstorms hit. This also can be enclosed by newer camper enclosure with screens.Helm features radio, depth, GPS, and auto-helm. Seats are in excellent condition. A large custom fresh water tank was added under the forward berth to better supply fresh water for long stays and to better balance the ride with passengers in the back. Galley has flat top stove, microwave, and fridge.When you move into the cabin you notice room only available in much larger boats - she features a dinette that converts to sleep two, a couch that converts to bunk beds sleeping two, and a forward berth that can sleep two very comfortably. Four new extra-large batteries power the vessel and will power some A/C powered items including the microwave when underway or at anchor.Air Conditioning unit is installed however does not blow cold.She is a low maintenance inboard vessel that can stay in the water, powered by twin fresh water cooled 181's that actually sip fuel and are very economical to run. Both transmissions had a complete rebuild earlier this year and have been updated to Borg Warner specs.Boat is located in 33715, Saint Petersburg Florida - can be shown by appointment - no trailer is available however there is a local transport company available that can load and transport for additional costs.
