Absolutely magnificent example of craftsmanship, style and comfort. These classics, like the Trojans of equal size are simply the best on the water living boats, America has ever seen. They create an on-board atmosphere that will wash away the stresses and difficulties of anyone who step aboard.
I worked for Chris Craft during this manufacture date. I was responsible for the v-berth section and it was a nightmare with all the heat in the plant during the summer. It was a constant pain when they would cut the hatch because all that fiberglass would sprinkle into the back of my shirt and OMG!!!!
Chris Crafts and Hatteras are so well made, they will last years and make the best live a boards. Just run them trawler style to keep down the cost of maintenance.
Very nice! I'm curious if anyone could give me a ballpark figure of what a boat such as this may sale for today, in good condition. Just a ballpark, I know there is a lot of variables, but just a roundabout number. Please and thank you 😁

Absolute work of art! Very fitting music too...Thanks for sharing!
These older boats are beautiful and in a word "stately" looking compared to the new bars of molded soap. Very nice and thanks
I absolutely love this layout. It would be perfect as a live-aboard for my wife and me.

I love the cabin with the desk. That’s very cool

Sorry about the conditions, but you do nice work!
+hawkdaddy64 You are a master of trade. You hard work and talents have made many a mans dreams come true. Thank you..
So much classier than the 'Tupperware' boats of today.
That's what me and my wife want to buy as a home
I do as well but I may have to trade in the wife, she has "...less than zero interest in boats." to quote her. Heh, heh.
With these older videos, I wish you’d update with selling price.
one word.... Gorgeous!

Except for not having the walk in engine room, I like the layout of the 500 over the 501.
Show the engine compartment!!
Very nice yacht
OLDY BUT GOODY.

Is this a wooden hull boat or fiberglass? Looks pretty modern for its vintage.
Fiberglass boat.
Thank you for the lovely waltz. The music on these videos is always abysmal.
Sale price? Sold price? 🙏
This feels like a lot for 50 feet. You sure this is 50? anybody have a layout?
Mahogany for my hog and me.
Why i dont own one is a mystery
