Chris Craft Speedster

Current owner did a very nice job converting the original Chris Craft Continental utility design to a single aft cockpit speedster. Boat was then brought to the Vintage Race Boat Shop to improve the performance and for refinishing. The bottom was detailed, a new technology 4-blade stainless steel prop was installed and the boat was refinished just last spring. The 318 Chrysler motor runs like a top with the 13x13 4-blade prop, and with the additional transom lift of the 4-blade design, the boat runs very flat and very nicely. This is a fun boat, is quite a looker, and comes with a custom trailer, fresh paint and lots of fresh Epifanes varnish.

Asking $14,500
