Description

You are bidding on a 1949 Chris Craft 18' Sportsman and custom trailer. This boat was in pretty good shape until it took on water at a marina launch. The engine was not on when it took on water and it was immediately pickled by the marina staff so it should not have any damage to compression. The owner thinks that because it was stored in dry stack for more than a year prior to the launch that the planks did not swell to seal the bottom of the boat.
The owners have donated this vessel to our Not for Profit Automotive Museum and all proceeds benefit our all volunteer operation.

Here are the specs on the boat:
18' Chris Craft titled in Florida and with New York Numbers
Custom trailer is road worthy but may need tires and grease pack on the bearings for a long drive.
Hercules 5 Cylinder Tank Engine - Great torque and speed from this engine.
Power band transmission
Custom teak squares are covering the rear deck which gives it a unique look and feel
Custom Sunbrella fitted cover
This boat can be restored and would make an excellent project, but it will need a full restoration.
Picture showing the boat running and in good condition are from more than one year prior to the pictures of the boat submerged, as the vessel sat in dry stack for more than a year prior to the launch that left it waterlogged.
You are welcome to schedule a visit to see the boat in Jacksonville, FL prior to auction end.
$500 non refundable deposit due at auction end.
For all you Garwood, Continental, Riviera, Runabout, Barrel Back fans, this one is for you!
