GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
THIS
BOAT IS GORGEOUS! 1972 35' Chris Craft Catalina
The 35' Chris Craft Catalina is
referred to as the biggest 35' boat ever built. It sleeps 6
very comfortably, you can sleep more and certainly take several
more on day trips. The boat is spacious for traveling comfort
or a floating cottage, with two bedrooms. One is in the bow
with two single cross over beds and the other is two single
beds with doors to into the head and the hall. All beds are
very comfy. Salon has full queen pull out bed. The boat is kept
in a covered slip in the Orillia area. The engines run well
and have had frequent oil changes with a liter of Lucas oil
stabilizer added each time. Fantastic boat for long trips or
use as a floating cottage.
