The 1987 Chris-Craft 426 Catalina is a 42-foot sedan bridge cruiser powered by twin Crusader 454 engines. The fiberglass hull measures 14 feet 9 inches across the beam. The boat accommodates two cabins and two heads, providing comfortable overnight quarters for cruising.
The engines were remanufactured in 2002 and have accumulated 648 hours as of June 2026, with documented annual maintenance including oil changes, separator replacements, and routine service. The fuel system comprises two 200-gallon main tanks and a 100-gallon auxiliary tank, all replaced during the 2002 engine work. The 9-kilowatt Onan generator operates reliably and received a new water pump and exhaust system in 2020.
Recent updates span multiple years and address both comfort and systems. New batteries were installed in 2026 across all starting and house circuits. The bridge received new captain's chairs in 2025, along with updated canvas and isinglass. The aft deck features new SeaDek flooring and replaced screens and isinglass. Below decks, the galley has a new sink and faucet, and both marine toilets are new Jabsco electric units. New shower sump pumps, a larger 2000-gallon-per-hour mid-ship bilge pump, and rebuilt water pumps on both engines support reliable operation. The 2022 Furuno 24-mile radar, new VHF radio with GPS and distress alarm, and Vexilar sonar phone complete the electronics suite. The boat includes a reinforced swim platform, dripless shaft seals and cutlass bearings from 2014, and a 2018 Lewmar anchor winch with 130 feet of chain and 300 feet of rode.
A 2022 Gala Atlantis 10-foot 10-inch dinghy with 20-horsepower Suzuki outboard and trailing gear is included, along with original spare propellers for the yacht.
