1960 Chris-craft Constellation Motoryacht in Gig Harbor, WA

SELLER DESCRIPTION

This classic big-cockpit Constellation has gone thru significant mechanical and cosmetic restoration by her current owner: she's structurally sound, runs great, and looks gorgeous! Totally rebuilt engines and transmissions, hull professionally stripped to bare wood, refastened, and recaulked above and below waterline, great varnish on brightwork, fiberglass tops re-done, new upholstery, canvas and carpeting. This IS the big flat teak-sole cockpit model... and that hardtop helm is very practical for NW cruising: enclosed when desired with simple drop-canvas, yet direct same-level access to the huge cockpit. Salon has galley and settee across from dinette, enclosed private head WITH SHOWER, and more sleeping in v-berth forepeak -- great visibility everywhere thru sliding side-windows. Take her cruising NOW or to showings at the Chris regattas...
