'84 chris craft 28' catalina


The one thing about these boats is their interior room - the cabin is
very spacious and very well appointed for it's time. *With respect to
having it surveyed, hey, couple hundred dollars? *Take the chance.

I know a local who has one - never been in salt water, always fresh
water - he summers it on Lake George. *Had it since it was new and
I've never heard him complain. *Had the engines changed a couple of
years ago with 5.0L Mercs. *He's kept it up well, had it painted a few
years back, etc. *Says he'll keep it until it rots out from under him
- he's never had bad spots in the hull either which is, well, unusual.

I like them if that counts for anything.

Is the boat a salt or sweet water boat? *That could make a difference.


thanks for the update...appreciate it.

it's 'brackish' water...NY harbor. owner says he takes it out of water
each winter. i know chris craft has a great reputation. the interior
does look roomy...
