The engine was rebuilt with new valves, pistons and rings.
The carburetor, fuel pump, alternator and generator were completely rebuilt. I also converted the system from 6 volts to 12 volts.
The engine was sandblasted, primed and then painted Chris Craft engine blue.
The teak floor needed a lot of love. It was in pretty bad shape. I gave it four coats of teak oil to give it new life. This was the first coat, which soaked all in.
The engine box had a lot of repairs done to it to get it back in shape.
The back seat just makes this boat! It has a curve in it instead of being just straight; it just looks classic.
Now just look at that back seat! You see what I’m saying? ( classic)
The front seats look really nice.
I have my wife pick all the colors on the boat. She just has that knack.
Just look at that engine; it looks nice just setting there.
Just like brand new.
Ok, enough about the engine. Look at the floor; it turned out pretty nice.
Just take it to the water and go. These Holidays are just a classic boat.
The back seat is just inviting.
Some of the Chris Craft Holidays had a third seat just behind the two front seats in front of the engine compartment. This one did not.
Nice big comfortable seat up front.
I think my seat covers look very nice and with the period of the boat.
Yep, you can take a little nap in the sun on that.
I just love the look of the dashboard of the Chris Craft Holiday.
The glove box is actually a bar. Pretty cool.
