Summary
This 1953 Chris-Craft Rocket 17′ runabout retains its original 95-horsepower Chris-Craft K-series straight-six, with the seller performing a carburetor rebuild and replacing the fuel tank, belts, hoses, and prop. The boat features maroon vinyl bench seats and includes an equipment record and a tandem-axle trailer, though one windshield pane is cracked and the original-style bottom requires soaking.
