2000 Chris-Craft 248 Express Cruiser

The Chris-Craft 248 Express Cruiser packs substantial comfort into a compact 24.8-foot format. Powered by a Volvo Penta 5.7 GS 2V engine producing 250 horsepower, the boat delivers the handling and performance expected from the Chris-Craft name.

Below deck, the 248 sleeps four. The forward cabin features a spacious V-berth, while the saloon includes a dinette that converts to a double bed. The galley is well-proportioned with a stove, sink, icebox, and multiple cabinet spaces for storage. The head compartment includes a portable toilet, vanity sink, and hand-held shower.

Optional systems available on this model include air conditioning, a water heater, and shorepower hookup—amenities typically reserved for larger cruising boats. The boat's composite construction and single-engine setup keep maintenance straightforward while delivering reliable performance for weekend cruising and overnights.
