Chris Craft XK22

Hi, youre looking at a 1975 Chris Craft XK 22. The XK 22 is one of only 220 boats ever made, from 1971 to 1975. They are becoming increasingly rare and collectible. In the past year I've seen a few $45,000 asking prices!It is a ruggedly built boat and will handle almost any waters youd put her in. She is 229 long and 78 beam, weighing 3300 pounds. The XKs were originally designed by famed offshore racing champion, Jim Wynne. Jim patented the lifting strake and designed several of the fiberglass boats for Chris Craft at the time they were moving into glass boats from wood.

Dick Avery designed the interior and the look of the boat. Dick was recruited to Chris Craft in the 60s from Ford in Detroit. He was on the original design team of the Ford Mustang. So the boat has that Muscle Car feel to it and frankly, there has not been another one like her on the water.

My XK 22 has gone through a complete renovation. I had the boat completely stripped down and painted. Any fiberglass dings were expertly repaired. The boat was primed and painted with AwlGrip paint. A new stainless steel rub rail was installed at the same time. New upholstery (front seats) were done.

Mechanically, there is a brand new rebuilt Chevy 5.7 or 350 CI marine engine. There are currently about 5 hours on it. A new 4 barrel Edelbrock carb was installed, as was a new starter, dual batteries with switch, trim pump, fuel system completely serviced, new shifting mechanism and the list goes on and on. There is a full sun pad on the rear and a beautiful teak swim platform with stainless steel ladder. The Volvo outdrive works like a charm and has full tilt/trim. The boat has new shag carpeting, thats right, shag! The boat was delivered with shag carpeting in the 1970s (remember the Shag Revolution?)

I've had the boat on Lake Minnetonka, outside of Minneapolis. No one can believe she's a classic boat from the '70's--she's a real head-turner for sure.
