Re: Looking for a quality 53 for sale on the east coast
I might be confusing boats about the soft spot. Check right next to the hatch.
I think what really killed the boat for the Admiral was the cheap tile floors. All the work that it took to install, it is a shame they did not get something more upscale. Removing them would be a bitch, and installing over top would make the boat thousands of pounds heavier than it needs to be.

Re: Looking for a quality 53 for sale on the east coast
You really did your homework! I tell buyers all the time that you have to go look at boats if you're going to make an informed decision. You can't do it by looking at pictures on the net. It's great that you have found the right one. I really appreciate your kind words about me and "Ariel". She is genuinely a nice boat.

Re: Looking for a quality 53 for sale on the east coast
Yeah those tiles in salon are bad and the wood flooring thru the lower is poorly done and the owners stateroom is awful and all 3 heads. I wondered how the weight of tiles in salon would affect it's stability.

The 53's handle like a dream. I've been a Chris Craft owner for 40 years. I thought they cruised smooth. WOW what a difference.
