We made a commitment to the former owner that we would do our best to see this classic Chris Craft fully restored. The goal is for our shop to rebuild her to better-than-new condition, not just to shine her up a bit and call it restored. You can see our shop at: http://www.riddleboatworks.net.

She is advertised on ebay as well with a fairly high reserve to discourage a buyer from snapping up a cheap wood boat and taking it away just to languish in his yard. Search for “Vintage Chris-Craft” on ebay to see the ad.

A potential buyer should have the means and desire to complete this project to the highest standards. Contact us for a breakdown of restoration costs and details as we can do all or just part(s) of the total restoration, depending on your needs and preferences.

A full restoration will include fully restored hull, deck and cabin structures to new condition with a new watertight bottom including keel, chines, and frames, a rebuilt transom and deck structure with either the original teak decking or the deck of your choice. The cabin tops will be recovered, window and windshield frames rebuilt and upgraded, and all finish work inside and out will be redone from bare wood to your specifications. A new electrical system will be installed to ABYC standards. The original hardware is complete and will have flawless new chrome plating. A buyer will have the option to add upgrades or restore to original factory condition, rebuild the original CC MCL engines or repower with gas or diesel, or make any other sound choices consistent with a quality yacht.

This will make somebody a terrific new boat! Please see our website at: http://www.riddleboatworks.net and contact us for references and more detail if this is a project that intrigues you!
