This is the only surviving 1941 Chris Craft D.C.E.B (Double Cabin Enclosed Bridge) Yacht of this size in existence. It is the Lady Mohr. She was built for Frank Mohr, a wealthy and influential businessman in 1941. It was the largest Chris Craft ever shipped to the West Coast. He kept it hidden during WWII so that it would not be conscripted. This incredible testament to marine history had over $400,000 spent on structural restoration 4 years ago from the keel up.New bottom, keel, transom, frames, planks, bronze thru-hulls, water tanks, gas tanks, propellershafts, wiring, plumbing, all new bronze fasteners, toilets, etc. Yes you read it correctly over $400,000.00 four years ago. The engines are 1968 Ford/Chris Craft 427 side oilers. They should be looked over too. This boat originallycame with twin 140 HP Chryslerstraight eights, that pushed this 45 foot boat to 38 knots. The Ford 427 engines are 300 HP each! This is one of the very first Chris Craft Yachts with a semi planing hull. It only drafts 28 inches.The frames are oak and the hull is blonde mahogany. The cabin is teak and the decks are mahogany.The first picture in from 4 years ago on Lake Union Seattle, Washington. We have all the hardware etc. This yacht has all roll up windows too, like an automobile.There is still restoration to do, though mostly paint and varnish. This boat does not leak! It is currently in our restoration facility and we had intended to complete the restoration and keep her as our family yacht.We have decided to go a different direction in our business and so it is available at a no reserve starting big at a fraction of its worth for a limited time. Yes we have a clear Vessel Document of Ownership. Please communicate if you are sincere and financially capable only.This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to own a magnificenthistoric vessel. In the event that our funding for the new business comes through before someone has the good fortune of bidding and owning her, we will take her off the market.If you need transport measurements, the vessel is 45 feet in length, 12 foot wide (beam) and 12' 6 inches from the bottom of the keel to the top of the cabin roof. We can recommend experienced transport if needed. Yes it has two heads (toilets) , and a full stand up shower.There is no appraisal.
