If you are serious about a wood boat in SD, be sure to look at the 57 Chris in Chula Vista. It has had a major refit and is constantly maintained be a wealthy owner. I think it is listed with Bayport Yachts. Has been on the market for a long time so a low offer might be possible. John

Re: 1979 43' double cabin
Having owned two wooden boats, a Matthews and an Egg Harbor, I wouldn't have another. There is enough work on any boat without taking on that sort of thankless heartache. It is for the very rich only.

There is a 48’ Chris Craft Connie in Northern California with twin Desiel. This boat is pristine. Check it out on Craigslist. I think it’s a 1966 or 67. And I’m not kidding it is in fabulous condition.

Re: 1979 43' double cabin
The cheaper one (listed at $140k) is now under contract, Ive been told its gonna sell at $115000. There are two in the area that sold recently, one at $35000 and the other was listed at $50,000, when it dropped off yachtworld. ..
I looked at two similar big wood boats in San Francisco the day before thanksgiving, a Chris Craft and a Stephens, priced at $115000 and $139000. The brokers suggested that a lesser offer would probably be successful
The market for these things seems to be between $50000 and $150000, depending on condition..

You can't afford the time to maintain one of the larger wooden vessels if you plan to ever use it. Id dont care if you retired at 12 time is time.
There was a 36 Chris locally that was beautifully kept at about $60k every other year until the owner just us and sold her. They had another boat that they cruised while the chris was cared for.Scott

I have no idea what the last poster is saying. I don't think he does either.

Re: 1979 43' double cabin
A good friend and his father had a beautiful wooden Egg next to me in Va. Him and his father attempted to move the boat to Hatteras for a long weekend, and she broke up in a storm approaching Hatteras. Russ was never found, and his father washed up a week later. Beautiful boats, but age really is not a friend of a wooden boat. They kept really good care of her, and maintenance was a priority, but something happened.
Growing up, all we had were Owens, Mathews and Chris Crafts. All wood, too much work. I love my all glass Hatt.
Have a great week,

Hey Ron,
You should talk to Leland at Sun Harbor Marina if you want a wood boat. He built his 65 foot wood schooner by hand over 29 years. He is an expert at wood boats although he can be a bit cranky.
