1951 Chris-Craft 502 Constellation

The 1951 Chris-Craft 502 Constellation is a 53-foot motor yacht built with mahogany wood throughout the aft deck, salon, and stateroom. Twin Detroit GMC 671 diesel engines, rated at 250 horsepower each, provide propulsion, supported by an onboard lighting plant and generator for electrical power and heating.

The yacht's accommodations and layout reflect classic midcentury design, with finished spaces suited to extended cruising and entertaining. The open and enclosed areas maintain the character typical of Chris-Craft's larger motor yachts from this era.

The boat has been actively maintained over decades of use. Original systems remain functional, and the wooden hull and interior surfaces have been preserved through ongoing care. The mahogany brightwork, engines, and mechanical systems reflect consistent upkeep across the yacht's history.
