HULL
The hull underwent an extensive restoration which included rechroming of hardware. According to the seller the original bottom was replaced with a 3M 5200 bottom in 2005. At this point the hull was stripped and refinished in original style Chis Craft red stain with walnut stained covering boards and king plank. 15 coats of varnish were applied. The grain of the planks shows through beautifully, it's a knock-out!
INTERIOR
The red interior was relaced in 2006 and shows no visable rips or tears. The gauge faces are clear, and easy to read. The three spoke pre-war steering wheel is in good shape and is thought to be original to the boat.
MECHANICALLY
The original engine was replaced with a later 'K' series engine. This power plant produces 95 hp and even though is not original, is very well suited to this boat. The electrical system has been converted to 12 volt. It runs good and has been professionally maintained. The boat comes with a single axle trailer that was made for this boat in 2006.
