1988 Chris-Craft 381 Catalina

The 381 Catalina is a 38-foot fiberglass cruiser powered by twin 300 hp Crusader gasoline engines with Velvet Drive transmissions. The boat carries an enclosed helm station aft with windows and screens, an electric windlass, and a 6.5 kW Onan generator installed at the factory. Climate control includes AC/reverse cycle heat, and the boat is wired for 50 amp shore power.

Below deck, the layout centers on a full galley fitted with a microwave, cooktop, and AC/DC refrigerator, plus a sit-down bar. The master cabin aft has a king berth with abundant storage and an ensuite head featuring a combination shower and tub. Forward, a queen berth in the V-berth cabin connects to a second ensuite head with a separate shower. A midship port-side door provides easy access to the bow.

Navigation and communication equipment includes a large Standard Horizon chartplotter. The transmissions run at low hours and operate smoothly. This boat suits extended or short-range cruising and entertaining.
