Oh wow, your video brought and reminded me of many enjoyable memories of myself enjoying very similar model and year Chris Craft boat which I owned for many years. There are times I still miss having that boat as she did me well and I hope the person who purchased mine was able to get many more years of enjoyment. Always kept the boat as original as possible but did also update with putting in my own security system, ship to shore and ham radios onboard along with various other safety items including first aid supplies with a small oxygen tank for emergencies in case ever needed. Mine also had the original Chris Craft marine hercules block engine made to last forever and have a sound of their own. The main thing was to always keep a check for water leaks on the packing for the main shaft. Thanks for sharing the video.
My dad had a 54 28 foot express.. looked just like this one .. Was in vermillion ohio around 1983 or 4...I still remember that boat and i was only 3 0r 4.. her name was Rhiannon.. gotta love that flathead rumble.
@@VicsYard i use a good dose of marvel mystery oil in my fuel also fuel stable keep fuel fresh on occasion I run 100 octane Fuel in the mix with the other additives if tank holds 20 gallons I run 75 % race gas every 3rd fill and during storage plus Delo 30 For diesel engines great oil to use in all my chris craft boats our machine shop rebuilds many of these engines with some improvements Better cam profile etc ... I love keeping original power in any boat awesome work on your boat thanks for sharing 👍
I've got a '53 Chris Craft Commander that has two that need it, but getting to that age that I'd probably will not do it & hopefully her next owner will have the passion for her to do that
