1953 45' Chris Craft DCFB (SRG)
Engine(s): Hercules
She will be the talk of the marina! She has striking lines and a finish that compares to none! This beautiful boat is one of 33 made. She is a VERY CLEAN boat that has been completely stripped and redone since 1998. She is stored in a covered slip, protected from the elements. Some people are afraid they will have to work too hard on a boat like this. The great thing about this one is that the work has been done for you! The Chris Craft DCFB is a great all -in-one package. It provides sleeping accommodations for 6, a complete galley, a spacious cockpit area for relaxing and entertaining. The versatility of this boat is a great point. You can cruise and entertain all day long. The cockpit and cabin designs allow for comfortable seating inside as well. If the weather is a little cool there is a heater that will warn up the cabin area. This Chris Craft DCFB is ready for you. This is an extra-clean boat that is in excellent shape. A lot of care and time has been put into this boat to put her in the condition that she has won 1st prize in the last three shows entered and has won the peoples choice award every time. This is a great opportunity for someone looking for a great quality well maintained older boat. The engines and transmissions have been rebuilt and have only 180 hours on them. Make an offer! Boat owner is motivated to sell!

A lot of love and care has gone into her and she is sure to return the favor to those who take care of her.

The exterior decks are all mahogany varnished and the back lower deck is all teak. It is all in excellent shape and shows very well.
