Chris Craft Tournament Fisherman

1976 Chris Craft 26 FT Tournament FishermanThe hull is in excellent condition, no damage and still decent paint on the topsides. Could use a coat of bottom paint but I only ever used it rarely saltwater mostly freshwater/brackish. Smoothest ride you'll ever feel for a boat this size and layout. She's been Re Powered with twin high output PCM 302 V8s married to twin remanufactured Velvet Drive 1:1 ratio water cooled heat exchanged transmissions. Re power was conducted before I owned the vessel, I have the documentation, currently 300 Hrs each and many more to go, just broken in. Both transmissions received new prop shafts and cutlass bearings during the refit. New exhaust and hoses with hardware. Steering system has been rebuilt with new cable and hardware. Rudder stuffing boxes tight and dry.Both engines have just 2 hours on fresh tune ups including oil change, oil and fuel filters, spark plugs, rebuilt distributors, coils and a tuning of both carbs. Both engines run outstanding, smooth and quiet, they bump right over with ease and idle perfectly. The drives were both serviced with fluid changes as well. Two new large marine batteries were just installed including. New marine grade ignitions were replaced. The original fuel tank was taken out during the refit and a new corrosion treated aluminum fuel tank was installed plus lines to the fuel filter towers leading to the engines. A few items that need attention that I haven't got around to yet and possibly have can worked on for you are a set of trim tabs (vary $100+ depending on how advanced a pair you want), port side heat exchanger for the transmission needs replacement, small unit ( $85.00) and very easy to replace and a reconnection of the fresh water lines from the water pump to the thru hull intakes below which I may do before it sells. I had them loose to conduct an easier running tune up process recently via a garden hose from above. There also was an old speed sensor thru hull fitting that needs plugging, very simple. I removed it due to its obsolete nature and haven't got around to plugging it yet. Blower switch needs replacement ( $8) Middle bilge pump needs replacement ($26) The vessel is solid and ready where it counts but a great little project boat to continue minor work on. All the major costly systems are done so if you like tinkering and maybe a little painting that's all she needs. I have all the original manuals, reciepts and documentation as well as great aftermarket catalogs for parts you will need all included. Sale comes WITH the twin axle trailer. Four brand new tires were recently put on plus spare. Axle bearings re packed and checked. The entire hydraulic brake system has been rebuilt from the actuator to the hydraulic lines all the way back to the axles plus brakes. New tongue. New jack stand. All new wiring front to back with lights. Reason for selling is another relocation for work. This boat is absolutely solid and stands up to the Chris Craft name. They don't make boats like this anymore. Heavy duty boxed fiberglass runners, no wood to rot and any wood on the boats main hull construction is made from marine mahogany. Perfect lay out for a small local commercial fisherman or serious angler needing the durability. Outriggers and some heavy duty offshore fishing gear included with the sale. Also have all the Bimini top hardware and fabrics. If there's any other questions you have feel free to ask and I'll be happy to answer thank you for your time and God bless. Needing to sell fast.
