I was told that there was only 3 of these custom boats built, this being one of them. They are solid built and sturdy boats, with all the best features of a smaller flats / skiff style fishing boat. Here's a little history of Critchfield Marine I dug up...
Bill Critchfield was a boat racer and builder based in Florida. His company, Critchfield Marine offered Sabre Boats according to a Feb. 24, 1967 article in the St. Petersburg Times. The dealer for Sabre boats in the St. Petersburg area was Van Bros Chris Craft Inc. It is unclear when Critchfield began manufacturing boats but a Critchfield runabout appeared in a Mercury Outboard Test in 1958 (See Below). At this time Critchfield Marine was in Orlando, Florida. According to a Sept. 20, 1973 article in the Sarasota Herald-Tribune, North American Products Corp. of Sarasota, Florida dropped its entire line of boats to instead produce five models from Critchfield Marine molds as Lightning Boats. William P. Farmer, president of North American, had bought some of the Critchfield molds from Wellcraft Marine Corp., also of Sarasota. Wellcraft had bought Critchfield Marine's property, some tooling and plant equipment.
Also INCLUDED in this package deal is a 2006 Tohatsu 4 stroke, 15" SHORT SHAFT tiller, 9.8hp outboard motor that has been GARAGE KEPT and has maybe 20 total hrs on it. I just dropped it off for its regular spring tune it, to include the usual impeller change, ($200) done to make this Spring fishing for someone perfect. This motor has always been a 1-2 pull start motor, flawless, strong running and very fuel efficient. You can go several days on $6 gallons of fuel. The fuel tank and connections all included. You will even get a boat anchor, and tie lines.
In addition, I have a custom built, galvanized, welded seams- heavy-duty, TILT trailer for this boat in LIKE NEW condition. A perfect match for it in every way. It too is in exc condition, with new 13" tires and galvanized wheels, hubs/bearing, all LED lighting front, back and sides, wiring, winch, kick-up jack, etc, etc., etc. The trailer alone is a $1000. Easy loader in every way.
I have all MENTIONED above... a great combo, for a reasonable price of $4895.00... Serious enquiries only, COD, no Paypal garbage or wire monies non-sense...COD ...
************ NO LOW BALLERS... I DO NOT HAVE TO SELL IT... ****************
