Love your boat! We had Chris Crafts in Michigan in the 60s and 70s-one Cavalier and one Commander as I recall I was pretty young). If you ever want to take me for a nostalgic ride, I live in Vacaville now! 😍🛟⚓️

what a beautiful boat! looks like you have taken good care of her. Grampa had a 1955 42' Chris Craft "Sea Cloud" in So. Calif. we grew up on, lots of great memories. Hope you have kids to enjoy it too! (please pull your bumpers up after leaving the slip)

I own Sister ship NMB. What is the price on this one?
@ronen160 Жыл бұрын
So I researched this boat a bit, and i'm finding that a lot of owners are opting for the outboard engines instead of the I/O......I guess even now, outboards are considered less costly to maintain, break down less that I/O, and of course are more easily accessible. BUT then the sinking swim platform disappears. That's disappointing, because that sinking swim platform is truly a wonderful idea.
@CaptainRoyMerlino Жыл бұрын
Yeah. I love the boat with outboards! The platform goes away. But you still have the beach club sides and a swim ladder. It's a compromise. It just depends upon what is most important to the individual buyer.
@ronen160 Жыл бұрын
What a beautiful boat and very imaginative layout. One concern: it seems to me that, by the design of the seating areas being concentrated to the starboard side, it would be very easy to disproportionately distribute the weight of the passengers, making the boat list to the starboard side. Any thoughts on that?
@CaptainRoyMerlino Жыл бұрын
I have had 12 people on board and have not had an issue with trim. But you're right. If everyone was sitting to starboard, you would use the trim tabs to level the boat. She does have active trim assist. This keeps her level automatically.

It would be so great if there were a search filter for you that would eliminate boats that don't have shots of the engine room in the video. After all, it's far more important to find machinery space videos than it is to have a serious look at boats that might fit what you want. Good luck with your search!

@jamesstuart3346 Жыл бұрын
@@dojocho1894 Which wood? Changing the hull colour is a huge job and I wouldn't recommend it. Any painted wood trim should be stripped bare. Then paint it or stain it. Varnished wood? Strip it down to bare and varnish or paint it. Unfinished wood is likely to be teak. Sand off the grey and coat it with Cetol, unless it's the deck in which case leave it bare. Remember to use high quality Marine Grade paint, varnish and stain such as Interlux.
