A great boat to use as is, or a platform for restoration. We were engaged to go through the original bottom to make it safe and reliable, and to make the Chris-Craft KFL 6 cylinder rebuilt engine reliable as well.
The grandson of the original owner was able to enjoy the boat with his grandfather, and now the time has come to pass it along to the next steward.
Very nice tandem axle trailer and mooring cover are included.
Lots of boating fun for not much money.
