This is a 1965 Chris craft constellation 30'. This Connie has a 10' beam and weighs 8000lbs. Boat has shore power. Original 283's are included in the sale, but boat has been repowered with 1965 327's. The 283's were seized when I got them but include their in good condition paragon transmissions. When I bought the 327's I was told they had 500 hours on them but I can't verify that. They run perfectly. I went through these engines myself (I'm a mechanic by trade) and put a number of hours on them and everything is in good order. I put new timing chains on each as well as new gaskets. Boat has sound hull, good keel. The only rot I have found is below the rail on one plank on the port side. The bottom soaked up in 2 days and takes on hardly any water once swelled. Interior needs carpet as there is none at the moment. All upholstery is in good shape with no tears or cracks. Both batteries were replaced last year. This has been a freshwater boat all its life. Boat is sold as is where is with no trailer. I can schedule a viewing if necessary. This is a great boat for the price. Willing to entertain all offers. I can ship the boat, but all buyer will be responsible for all costs.
