Descriptions

The enclosed, full beam main deck features a sliding glass door (with screen) to a small aft deck for line-handling duties. A huge flybridge tops the deck, with room for dinghy storage on the hardtop.

The owner's stateroom is below and aft, behind the engine room. Accessible from the main saloon by a spiral staircase that leads only to the main stateroom, it is a private retreat for the boat's owners. It includes a walk-around king-size berth, a large hanging locker and an oversized head with a tub and shower.

Craftsmanship is evident in the cabinetry and teak work. While it may not be as fancy as some more expensive yachts, the workmanship is solid.

The forward end of the saloon is the enclosed pilothouse/helm location. Visibility is excellent from this station, with a large glass windshield and sliding doors to port and starboard. A seat is molded into the forward section of the cabin top, reminiscent of classic Chris-Crafts of the 1960s.

A passageway, to port, leads belowdecks to the lower cabin level. An amidships guest stateroom with oversized twin berths is here, as well as a guest head with shower. Not as large as the master head, this is comparable in size to the main head on many cruisers in the 40-foot range.

The companionway between this stateroom and the head leads to the walk-in engine room.

Forward of the main guest stateroom is the galley, to starboard, and a dinette, to port. This is a galley designed to be used for entertaining. It is a functional work space with recent aplliances.

The third stateroom forward, combined with a small head, washer/dryer and bunk-style berths, ican be geared for a crew's use.

Not as fast as many boats in this size range today, the 50 Chris-Crafts were powered by twin 550 hp 6V-92TA Detroit Diesels. Capable of 16-17 knots cruise. At displacement cruise speed she is quite economical.
