"Bristol" is a Federally documented Flybridge motor yacht built by Murray Chris Craft who's company took over production in 1981. This is a fresh water only yacht, which has been maintained annually. Each winter the boat has been kept in a heated building. Everything works on this boat. It is in great condition with lots of upgrades, such as modern electronics and lots of other equipment.

The Chris Craft 500 Constellation is a classic motor yacht known for its spacious interior, solid construction and reliable performance making it ideal for cruising and exceptional live-aboard experiences. Built of solid fiberglass construction, she has a semi-displacement, deep-V hull with a deep forefoot - with slightly rounded bilges of which provides stability and comfort underway or at rest.
