Vintage Bros Boat Sales is excited to offer this very rare 25' 1955 Chris Craft Continental! Folks, you could go to antique boat shows for years and not see one of these! Hull # CL-25-022 is the 22nd Continental produced of 30 ever made by Chris Craft. It's a rare treat, and we are thrilled to bring it to you!
The value of this beauty is in its rarity and its condition. It's in high user condition and would judge well at any boat show. This model was offered with numerous engine combinations, but this one was born with the venerable Chrysler Marine Hemi!
At Vintage Bros, we are antique and classic boat enthusiasts first and boat brokers second. We love matching buyers with sellers and would be happy to own any of the boats we sell.
HULL
The hull sides on this boat are beautiful! The stain and varnish work together to make the grain 'pop' in the sunlight. The planking is visually even and is just gorgeous! The bottom is original with some recent minor plank replacement.
INTERIOR
We are not sure if the interior on the boat is original, but believe it is. If not, it was redone to factory originally sometime in the last 70 years of its life. The steering wheel is in great condition along with the gauges.
MECHANICAL
What can be said about the legendary Chysler Hemi? The marine version was designed to be a work horse instead of a boy-racer. That said, this one runs like a sewing maching and sounds like a symphony. The boat sits on a road worthy, dual-axle, Load Rite trailer that tows beautifully.
OVERVIEW
Wow! We are so proud to represent this boat! Updates include a new gas tank, a new garboard bottom plank, and a rebuilt carburetor. It would be a fantastic addition to any collection or just use as is. Call Jim @ 513 678 9379.

Vintage Bros Boat Sales always recommends that any prospective purchaser either inspect the boat themselves or hire a third-party inspector to examine the boat as a contingency of purchase. Once these things are completed to the buyer's satisfaction, the sale becomes final. It is the buyers right to waive all inspections. If a buyer choose to go this route, they bear full responsibility for the choice made regarding the condition of the boat.
Vintage Bros. Boat Sales is happy to help in any prospective purchaser coordinate shipping. However, shipping is ultimately the responsibility of the purchaser not only in coordination but in payment of the service.
