1989 Chris-Craft Catalina 381

This 1989 Chris-Craft Catalina 381 is a 42-foot fiberglass motor yacht powered by twin Crusader engines rated at 350 horsepower each. The boat carries 420 gallons of fuel and 65 gallons of fresh water, with a draft of 3 feet. Only four examples of this model were built with the distinctive aft galley layout, which opens the central salon into an expansive living space uncommon in yachts of this size.

The interior comprises two staterooms, each with its own head and shower. The master stateroom features a full-size bathtub, a notable luxury for a boat of this length. The salon and cabins have been updated with flat-screen television, air conditioning, high-fidelity stereo with amplifiers and Bluetooth capability, and ambient lighting throughout. The helm station has been extended and outfitted with modern electronics suitable for larger vessels, including electronic shifter control. A radar arch fabricated from aluminum integrates the folded canvas top into the profile.

Power and systems have been substantially upgraded. The boat carries a 3-kilowatt inverter and 9-kilowatt generator to support onboard electrical demands. Exterior improvements include a Horizon 1500 winch with 150 feet of stainless-steel chain, a stainless-steel anchor, sliding entrance door, bow seating with cushions, and a Kahlenberg air horn. The blackwater tank has been replaced with a 100-gallon stainless-steel unit fitted with a macerator pump. Lighting enhancements accent the bow, arch, and stern for nighttime visibility and aesthetics.

The engines and generator show low operational hours, reflecting careful ownership and winter indoor storage throughout the boat's life in fresh water. Major refits totaling over 210 thousand dollars were completed in 1990 and again in 2016, with the latter including new electronics, LED lighting, and a replacement canvas top.
