Tankage volume is an estimate based on comparable sales data.

Hull is planked with mahogany, deck is teak over plywood, bulkheads plywood, beams fir, framing oak, fastenings bronze.
Sold-boat data search does not show any other flybridge versions of the make, model and size. In recent years this boat also had a modern fiberglass swim platform added.

The 2014 survey was very favorable as to the condition of this boat and based on the hull number was the last 46 Constellation that Chris-Craft built. Fasteners were pulled at that time made of silicone bronze 1 1/2 inch and 2 1/2 inch and were found to be in good condition. The hull was also found to be in good condition. Good maintenance and pride of ownership are evident throughout.

Broker's Comments

VIRTUAL TOUR - VIDEO - 80 TO 100 PHOTOS - FULL SPECS CAN BE VIEWED OF THIS VESSEL!

This beautiful Chris-Craft experienced an interior renovation by skilled and talented craftsmen -- also known as proud and motivated boat owners -- willing to work hard and express their great ideas in this lovely boat.

She's been a traveler and not just a dock queen. Active in Chris-Craft rendezvous events, she's may be the only flybridge 46 Connie here in the Northwest, and would be rare in any other market too. Some believe the flybridge was an add-on aftermarket? If so, it looks like it was intended from the beginning.

What does hanker mean?
: to have a strong or persistent desire : yearn

If you have a hankerin' for a traditional Chris Craft this boat pushes a lot of buttons. It's been used as a live-aboard so the interior is very comfortable. She's been used on boat trips and vacations as well and has served as a great party platform. Today she's in a transferable slip on Lake Union with great views of the lake.

Think...apartment in the city?

Wondering what the name of this Chris-Craft is? Call me.
