![]() ![]() There are TWO 100 lb gas tanks on this boat but we were told one gas tank is out of commission - we are not why - we never looked into in further detail 100 gallons is plenty of gas. No holding tanks to empty EVER! New water pump installed in shower as well as new bilge pumps installed throughout entire boat. Toilet has been updated with a new Electra Scan system which makes living aboard so easy. Engine batteries have been replaced with 8D 12V for more sufficient engine starting. Ship to Shore power switch has been recently updated to a modern Oman switch. She has 12V and 110 electrical systems in place. There is also a 4JBLE-01 20 KW Yammer Generator that runs everything on the boat with power to spare! Generator has a new water strainer. Engines are original to this boat with approximately 2300 hours on them. She is powered by twin Detroit Diesels 6I-71 that runs STRONG. These vintage yachts are very hard to find in their original condition much less with original paperwork. She has not been cut up, or had cheap cabinets installed or had her original integrity compromised. This boat has been kept in her original state. I also have the blueprints, original 1958 advertisement, the specs from Chris Craft from 1958, and receipts for some of the work done over the years by previous owner. (If the rain would cooperate, it would be done) I have many of the original documents for this boat including the original work order to build the boat with both matching engine numbers listed. We also did the aft of the boat and we are currently putting our final coat on the front deck. We work on this boat every day, we are just finishing up the front deck, and it was completely sanded and refinished. As you can tell from the photos her rich mahogany interior is a true state of beauty. Any wood that might need replacing is visible. Her original mahogany is apparent throughout the yacht. The only things changed on her are laminate floors in salon, Corian counters in all 3 heads and galley, plus a complete Corian shower and floor. The layout, every drawer, cupboard, and each and every handle & doorknob are original to this yacht. Forward of galley is with twin bunks, storage lockers, and an attached head with sink, and Corian counter-top. There is an attached head with a complete Corian shower, Corian floors and counter-tops. There is 1 full size bed (Mattress not included) and 1 twin bed with a very nice upgraded top quality mattress, 2 hanging lockers, drawers and an aft hatch that opens to the completely enclosed cockpit. Across from guest stateroom is a head with a toilet and sink with Corian counter-top. Aft of the salon is the guest stateroom with 2 twin beds, a hanging locker/wardrobe, and plenty of drawers and storage cabinets. Forward of the galley you have the crew quarters/V-berth and a head with a beautiful Corian counter-top. The ceiling in the galley needs some work. ![]() ![]() The counters and sink have been upgraded to corian. She also has the original black and white checkered vinyl floor from 1958. She has a 2 burner glass stove top, a brand new refrigerator, built in microwave, full 2 sided vinyl booth seating, and small pantry and allot of storage. Forward from the salon we have the galley. The original chart table in the salon is just beautiful to look at. The salon has a new AC unit installed that works great. The salon has 13 windows (4 are cracked) there are bookshelf’s on both sides, above the bookshelf's there is a piece of wood that needs replaced. She has 3 staterooms, 3 heads, one BIG salon and nice size galley. The boat is Philippine mahogany double planked construction with original teak decks. The work this boat needs is cosmetic, not mechanical she starts right up and sounds amazing! They just don’t make boats like this anymore. You can take it any where your heart desires, she’s ready to run. There is so much room on this boat it’s like your own personal floating condo. Imagine owning the only boat in the world. She is work in progress but in the end, I can only image what she will be worth. According to Wikipedia Chris Craft only made FOUR of the conquerors in 1958 and this one is the only survivor. This boat is truly unique in that - it is the only one like it in the world. We have only owned this boat since Valentine’s Day this year however we have had an unfortunate life changing event that forces us to sell our beauty and pass the project on to someone else who will bring her back to the original beauty she deserves.
