This is an incredible deal for someone...but not me! It's a 1950 Chris Craft twin engine 33' Deluxe Enclosed cruiser. (page 241 of the CC Essential Guide) The running engines and transmissions alone are worth about $5,000, the helm maybe $1,500, etc. The bidding is at $99, one bidder, and there are no additional fees and no reserve. Check it out:

I would love a boat like that but I know the upkeep is beyond my current means. Rodney Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.
