The Chris-Craft 25 Express Cruiser is a charming classic motor cruiser from the legendary Chris-Craft design team. 'Christabell' is a sought-after twin shaft driven version upgraded in 2014 to twin FNM 110hp turbo diesel engines making her a very capable and economic cruiser for her size! Ideal for general cruising or relaxed fishing trips, or could also make a fine alternative to other classically styled boats like the popular Freeman 23 for river cruising. She is presented in good condition for her year and her inventory includes an electric windlass and diesel heating. Although she would now benefit from some cosmetic tidying she represents fantastic value, and must be one of the most versatile diesel-powered boats available in her class!
Viewing by appointment only through our Essex office (01621) 785600.
