I am selling my 1983 Chris Craft sportfish. I bought it Nov. 2005 and after setting it up for offshore, I blew-out a disc in my lower back causing me not to be able to use the boat as I planned. The boat is listed on UsedBoats.com at this link; http://www.usedboats.com/index.php?s...boatId=1082929
All the specs can be viewed there with lots of pictures, no point recreating here, Asking $118,900. The boat did have a make-over in 2000 with the front windshield glassed in and a total awlgrip paint job and new custom half tower. The port engine has 250hrs and the starboard has 1250hrs. Both run strong and clean. I can be reach on my cell phone 24/7 at 757 641-1621.
Looks like UsedBoats.com is having server problems and maybe down for a while so I will cut and paste the specs here.
1983 Chris Craft 421 Commander equipped to tournament fish or to be a family cruiser. She is in above average condition inside and out. I purchased this boat in Nov 2005 with plans of starting an offshore charter fishing service, but due to a severe back injury, those plans have been cancelled. The boat has been gone through and upgraded for its planned offshore service all receipts available. The boat was also going to serve as a weekender for my wife and I, so this is not a stripped-out charter boat by any means. The boat is a proven fish riser coming in 5th of 83 boats in the 2005 Virginia Beach Tuna Tournament.

I found another interior picture of the master stateroom. Also the person buying this boat should be able to keep it's slip at Rudee Inlet Station. Slips in Rudee are hard to come by.
A real bonus.
I checked with the owner of Rudee Inlet Station Marina and it is official, whomever purchases this boat can take other the lease on the slip and renew it in May. The annual fee for this slip is $3,780 with direct access to the ocean.
