Broker's Comments

This boathouse-protected Chris-Craft has been lovingly taken care of by her owners. Moored at the Tacoma Yacht Club basin since 1996 it is now time for new owners to take her on their own adventures.

There is a very strong owners group for Chris Craft Yachts here in the northwest.

Maintenance records indicate the boat was re-powered in 1979.
