1957 18ft Chris Craft Continental

Description

Offered for sale is a 1957 Chris Craft Continental
This is hull number 447 of 484 Continentals built from 1955-1958. The boat is 17ft 11 inch with a beam of 6 ft 7 inch. We have enjoyed the boat every summer since the restoration. I purchased this boat in 2009 as a user boat. We quickly found out that it had some issues and decided to do a bottom up restoration. 95% of the wood planks and interior structure were either repaired or replaced. I have detailed photos of the complete restoration. Just email me for photos. Restoration included restored gauges by Dale Kocian, all deck hardware was re-chromed by S&H Chrome in Nashville, TN. Complete custom upholstery by local craftsman. Integrated ski tow and custom swim platform. No expense was spared in bringing this Chris Craft back to life. The boat has a maintenance free 3M 5200 no soak bottom installed. 15 coats of hand laid varnish. Has the original Hercules KFL engine installed which was rebuilt by the previous owner and changed over to electric ignition.
The boat comes with a single axle trailer show in the photos and a custom made waterline cover.
This is truly a one of a kind boat, which must be seen to appreciate the details.
