{"id":895034,"source_id":124,"location":"Portland, ME","address":"","latitude":"44.052","longitude":"-70.7241","uid":"j0b0i6","orig_id":"7791177772","slug":"1955-Chris-Craft-Riviera-With-Chris-Craft-Trailer-j0b0i6","title":"1955 Chris Craft Riviera With Chris Craft Trailer","text":"1955 Chris Craft Riviera on it's original Chris Craft branded trailer and many extras.<br>\n<br>\nStudy the photos closely as this boat is in really descent condition for it's age and most of the heavy restoration work has already been professionally done some years ago. Best guess is all this work was done sometime in the 90's, boat was used for a short while then winterized/pickled and dry stored ever since. Last registration sticker is 2001.<br>\n<br>\nShe has been professionally re-powered with a Small Block Chevy 350 Cu/In V8 engine with a 4 barrel carburetor, Edelbrock Performer Manifold, plus the bottom has been replaced with what appears to be a \"no soak? bottom (as evidenced by original planking on the outside so it looks original but features a marine plywood inner layer, see photos.<br>\n<br>\nToday the engine turns freely and has good oil pressure while being cranked with the starter, the varnish is good just has lost a bit of it's shine, one side of the windshield is cracked, Boat needs a good cleaning and a complete cosmetic going over including a few new coats of varnish. As Classic Mahogany boats go this one is easy, the bones are really good.<br>\n<br>\nThe engine has not been run by us, but all indications are good. We removed the spark plugs (sorry I broke one, but it has been replaced), added lubrication to each cylinder and the engine was first turned easily by hand then with the starter till good oil pressure was indicated, all seems fine. All eight spark plugs showed uniform color left from it's last run.<br>\n<br>\nThe interior was redone during this restoration/upgrade, most of it is usable as is although showing wear and needs cleaning. See photos.<br>\n<br>\nSomeone has gone above and beyond on this restoration indicating they wanted to do it right and invested in doing so. Along with the no soak bottom, the more modern and powerful engine, they added an onboard Marine 15 amp 2 bank battery charger/maintainer, MSD solid state Marine ignition (both pricey items), a dry box to protect electrics, and new modern instruments. There is also a high quality Jensen model JSM96 CD player and radio protected by a waterproof box.<br>\n<br>\nIt is amazing to still have the original Chris Craft branded trailer and in decent shape too. Tires are aged but show no serious cracks, however two brand-new mounted tires/wheels are included. Also included is a Semi Custom Sunbrella boat cover that fits quite well.<br>\n<br>\nAgain, study the photos carefully as what you see is what you get. Be aware though that some of the photos (first 5) were taken a few years ago just prior to it's most recent storage period.<br>\n<br>\nAs always, this boat is sold as is where is. Cash is much preferred; however a cashier's or certified Check is OK as well. Bill of sale for both the Chris Craft and the trailer will be provided.<br>\n<br>\nAsk questions.\n","original_price":"$10,500","price":12500,"year":1955,"size":19,"original_url":"https://maine.craigslist.org/boa/d/bridgton-1955-chris-craft-riviera-with/7791177772.html","createdAt":"2024-10-07T02:00:48.000Z","updatedAt":"2024-10-07T02:00:48.000Z","listAttrs":[{"id":8965114,"list_id":895034,"attr_name":"boat
