1948 Chris-Craft Sportsman — 18 ft classic in excellent condition, ready to enjoy.
I've put serious money and care into this boat. The most significant investment is the brand new 5200 bottom, just completed at approximately $25,000 — this is the foundation of a solid, long-lasting classic wooden boat and it's done right. The engine is the correct Hercules K Model for this era, and I've had the mechanical fuel pump rebuilt. I also added a Carter 12-volt electric fuel pump as a backup in case the block-mounted pump ever gives trouble — a smart redundancy on a vintage powerplant.
KEY FEATURES:
- Brand new 5200 bottom — approximately $25,000 in recent work; the hull is solid and ready for the water.
-
- Complete 12-volt conversion — includes a new 12-volt regulator, two 12-volt batteries, and a large 12-volt bilge pump for reliable, modern electrical reliability in a classic package.
-
- Period-correct trailer included — four new tires and a brand new spare, so she's ready to tow the day you buy her.
