“Ain’t She Sweet” is a show-ready Chris-Craft that resided in a climate-controlled warehouse before and after she was totally refurbished in 2014 by professional restorer, Jim Senior. She has been pampered ever since, and the boat and engine are in “ Near Pristine Condition.” Built in Cadillac, Michigan and was shipped to Sacramento Yacht Supply in November of 1959. She has had one previous owner prior to 1987 and has always been used as a family boat. We purchased her in early 2025 and have taken her out on Lake Arrowhead for eight sunrise/sunset cruises. We are selling her now as we have just purchased a 24’ Woodie to seat my four grown-up children and our six grandchildren. Ain’t She Sweet is powered by a 283 Chevy 185hp fresh water single Inboard/Outboard engine that has only 85 miles on it. Engine runs smoothly and has that great Chris-Craft rumble. She features a “no-soak” bottom that has no water issues wat so ever. Hull ID Number: CUA-17-0138C. Fuel capacity is appx. 25 gallons. Always used on FRESH WATER LAKES ONLY. Totally custom-made dual axle trailer made by Woodies Restorations in 2021 and she a custom full water-line mooring cover. Ain’t She Sweet was entered in the 2015 Lake Tahoe Concours d’Elegance and she won First in her class that year and subsequent years following. Gold also won in the 2016 ACBS International show in Lake Tahoe. YOU WON’T BE DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS CHRIS CRAFT!
