KNOWN ISSUES

  • The flybridge is not original, and was not installed to the same high Chris Craft standards.  In the future it will need to be repaired or removed

  • The aft enclosure is also not original and also was not constructed to Chris Craft standards.  It needs to be removed or rebuilt

  • There is some deterioration on the edges of the hard top that need to be addressed

  • The deck paint is peeling in places and needs to be addressed.

  • The windlass stopped working recently.  The motor windings test fine but will not rotate - it's believed to be a basic battery or wiring issue as the windlass is less than 1 year old and functioned flawlessly previously including the 2000nm cruise.  There is a spare control box onboard along with wiring diagram . Manual operation with oem lever handle works perfectly
