Classic 1937 Chris Craft 40, Twin Red Wing Meteor Engines, Double Planked 3/4" Mahogany Hull and Decks. This Classic Beauty is Ready to be Restored!
1937 Chris Craft 898 Sedan Cruiser is a very cool vessel. The seller has had it since 1989, they put her in Northern MN on their freshwater lake chain. They also purchased an Alogonac Boat Hoist so they could bring the boat to their property. They dredged a slip for the boat, installed the hoist and have enjoyed using the boat both for pleasure cruises and a spare cabin for weekend guests.
Some of their favorite activities were sleeping on her under the trees, cruising on her on the lake, and just
drifting in the wind. Their kids loved climbing up on top of the cabin and jumping off into the lake.
It has a galley, front berth with bunk beds, a head, and an aft cabin with a fullish-size bed. The boat has been refinished on three sides but needs additional work.
While we will always attempt to provide you with a TRUE representation of every vessel we market, during any purchase from Pop you will be encouraged to schedule an inspection from an independent, accredited surveyor and every purchase WILL ALWAYS BE subject to your satisfaction with the results from your independent survey and your own personal trial run.
We have several more Sea Ray, Carver, Bayliner, and Silverton vessels for sale. If you're in the Brainerd, Grand Rapids, Little Falls, or Wadena areas, please contact us to let us know what you're looking for and we'll get back with you today about any other antique boat options we have locally that may meet your needs.
