This 1951 Chris-Craft Catalina is a 50-foot wooden cruiser built during the golden age of American yacht design. Powered by twin Gray Marine gasoline engines producing 330 horsepower, the boat features a 12-foot beam and was one of only 107 hulls constructed in this model line. The yacht retains its original factory-equipped helm hard top and aft hard top, both uncommon features on surviving examples.
The accommodation plan includes three cabins, two heads with marine toilets and showers, and a full galley fitted with stove and refrigerator. The main salon showcases classic wood finishes with natural light, while the generous aft deck provides space for entertaining or relaxing. Interior woodwork and brightwork are in excellent condition, reflecting the consistent care and maintenance the boat has received.
Mechanical systems remain operational. The original wood hull and structural elements have been preserved through ongoing upkeep. Vintage instrumentation is retained at the helm, maintaining the boat's period character throughout.
