BigosS · 11-29-2008, 07:43 PM

1975 Chris Craft 30' Tournament Sportfish, in excellent condition, extensive refurbishment and upgrades. Located in Merritt Island, Florida.

Edit - The teak on the swim platform was just refinished 2 days ago, so it looks much better than in the photo.

Beautiful job. For those that aren't familiar with these boats, it is a Raymond Hunt design and built like the proverbial brick house. They take a lot of power to run fast but they will run through anything you want to be out in.

Good luck with the sale. What a great price for a diesel conversion.

Thank you, Sleeper. My brother has the same boat and we repowered his with Yanmar 240 diesels, and the performance with those small engines is amazing. This one does run just fine with the gas engines, they are in very good condition.

I have found another boat I like and am ready to deal.

Here are a few more pictures. I refinished the teak on the swim platform, also replaced the teak steps on the flybridge ladder. Today I finished changing both engines oil and filters and transmission fluid, also serviced the heat exchangers - replaced the zincs and end cap gaskets.

Just finished touching up the stbd engine paint, picture to follow tomorrow. It's a great weekend to look at a boat in Florida, and I'm off work and available for the next 4 days.

Here is the picture of the stbd engine with touched up paint.
