Say hello to this beautifully preserved Chris-Craft 17’ Special Runabout. A true heirloom, this boat has been cherished by only two families since purchase in 1952. It has spent every summer of its life in the same boathouse, providing countless memories on the water. In 1983, the original owner sold their house, and this beloved boat was included in the deal. The current owners have maintained its classic beauty, refreshing it twice - once immediately after purchase in 1983, and again in 2006. The boat retains its original 6-volt electrical system, adding to its vintage appeal. All components remain original to the boat, with the exception of the engine, which has been replaced to ensure reliable performance.

This is a unique opportunity to own a piece of nautical history. The boat is priced to sell and must be sold before April 15th. Don’t miss out on the chance to create your own summer memories with this timeless Chris-Craft Runabout.
