OBO 1964 37' Chris Craft Constellation / 600 original hours

[removed phone]' Chris Craft Constellation / Twin 275HP 327 engines / Paragon Forward/Reverse hydraulic transmissions
I am a somewhat retired mechanic & picked this up in Lake Tahoe last year to fix up a bit & resell. This boat was bought brand new in Texas & shipped to Lake Tahoe where it stayed for almost 45 years until last August when I had it shipped down to the Sacramento Delta where it is moored at this time in a covered slip. I have the original hull ID # assignment paper & the little brass plaque with the original owners name. Also repair and owner's manuals. The original owner had a boat house & railroad car custom built for the boat with railroad tracks going into the lake. It was stored in the boathouse when not in use as there was no dock to moor it. Tahoe has some funny rules about docks. It has 600 hours on the boat with the Starboard engine being replaced about 20 years ago due to improper winterization. That works out to an average of 11 hours per year. The original owner died & his son inherited the boat & property. When he died it passed to his children. It was used very little the past 15 years and was somewhat neglected. They sold the property last year with the boat included in the sale & the new owner really didn't want it. He had other plans for the boathouse. We did a lot of upgrades to bring it up to current specs and make it more liveable. A lot of paint & varnish work was done. Replaced some wood trim & stainless. It is still mostly in original condition. It is not perfect but it is in really nice shape for its age. A survey was done July 2010. The hull & transom are sound, absolutely no rot anywhere. The rudders, propellers & shafts are flawless. Since the repairs we have taken it down the Delta to San Francisco and up the Delta to Old Town Sacramento and it performs beautifully. When I look at this boat I imagine Dean Martin & Frank Sinatra cruising with a martini in hand while Marilyn Monroe & Jane Mansfield sun themselves on the forward deck. This boat is a classic beauty and you will be proud to own her.
If you pay full price I will convert the engines to closed cooling systems for salt water use. I will also include my mechanic services for any major mechanical repairs as long as you own this boat. No labor charge, just parts and cover any expenses I might incur. I will also arrange delivery anywhere within 500 miles at no charge. And I will include a 1000W Honda Generator. If this does not interest you price is negotiable. I'm not in a big hurry to sell it. More pics available @ http://s1196.photobucket.com/albums/aa416/ruffnredy56/
