33' CHRIS CRAFT 328 Express Cruiser

OVERVIEW

This 2004 ChrisCraft 33 Express Cruiser shows like a near new boat. It has been maintained with a true open check-book by an absentee owner, employing a professional Captain to keep this Express Cruiser in better than top shape.  The current Owner has just purchased a 65’ Viking  Express – and wants this boat sold.

The exterior is in excellent condition, and the interior looks like new, just as it did from the factory, but with many (2014) upgrades, including new 20” LCD Flat Screen TV - with build in DVD & ships Cable TV hook-up as well HDMI cabling for kids Play Station or similar gaming consoles, built in Nespresso Espresso coffee machine, full electric galley (microwave, hob, refrigerator etc.) all in like new condition.

Delivered with original Chris Craft owner’s manuals and Chris Craft document satchel - there is nothing to spend.

STATEROOMS

There are three separate sleeping areas. A large double berth, cross-ways in the front V section of the boat, with custom mattress, pillows, two fully opening, fly-screen protected, oval portholes - with an additional large, overhead opening hatch with built in screen. This front double berth is sectioned off with custom curtains, designed in a way that the flat screen TV can be viewed from the berth, or swung out into the main saloon.

The boat can sleep six at a pinch – converting the dining area, suitable for kids.

SALOON

Full reverse cycle air conditioning, hot or cold and fully serviced flushed system (2014). 

Center convertible double berth formed by the dining table dropping down, the table is then covered with immaculate, unmarked, matching fill-in cushions for sleeping.  The third sleeping area is the rear cabin, partially under the helm station; it is set up as a lounge area, and like the dining area, there are fill-in custom-fit cushion sections that convert the under helm lounge to a private double sleeping berth, with privacy curtains.  Both front and rear double berths have their own individual AC outlets. The boat sleeps four adults with ease and privacy, separated by approximately 10’ of center cabin between the two main berths.

There are multiple, low level walkway/companion/boarding and entryway lights inside the cabin and outside in the cockpit. There are overhead lights galore in the cabin – and there are tow down-lights on the cockpit overhead.

The whole cabin is protected by hard wired and battery backed up Co2 detector (new 2014). The cabin has neutral beige colored carpet in excellent condition and it is fully removable. The main Cabin door is lockable from either outside, or inside if sleeping on board, and the door has a “hide-away” very sturdily built-in sliding door screen to keep the breeze coming in - and the bugs out. There are six portholes – all with built in screens as they all open and a fully functioning.
