PERSONAL COMMENTS
She is a "ONE OF A KIND" refurbished and redesigned
cruiser with a great personality. There were only 27 built
like her, and to the best of my knowledge there are only
two left in existance according to a Chris Craft history buff.
She gets many compliments from other boaters. Everyone
want to board her. One must see her to appreciate the
spacious and well designed interior and other accomodations.
Boat can be seen year-round, in the water at her slip.
