FREE 1947 CHRIS CRAFT 39'. Owner says, "We have owned the boat since August 2003. We have never seen her in the water. She went from a boatyard in Salem Mass, to our backyard. We started restoring her immediately, however, other things developed and she got put on the back burner. After failed attempts to keep her covered from ME weather, she has been exposed to fresh rain water for the last 2 years. A marine survey was done in 1997, which we have, and it describes the boat as a 39' motorboat, builders hull number DC-40-110, overall length of 39' and named Mahalo Nui. Original owner, I think, from Boston Mass. It has twin gasoline engines, located mid section. Chev. 305CI - V-8. We had them checked out, and they had seized up. We are extremely anxious to get this out of our yard because we are trying to get the house ready to sell, and it is a bit of an eyesore at this point. I have persuaded my husband not to start cutting her up until August. If she is still here then, he will dismantle her. So, I just thought I'd throw that time frame out for you. I personally would love to see her go to a new home and become someone's pet project. If you can make that happen, that would be super. Thanks for your interest." Asking: FREE to a Good Home.
