Summary
This 1953 Chris-Craft Rocket 17′ Runabout retains its original 95-horsepower Chris-Craft K-series straight-six, which has received a carburetor rebuild and new fuel tank, belts, hoses, and prop under current ownership. Sold new in Massachusetts, the boat features a wood hull and decks finished in three tones of paint and varnish, and the seller notes the original-style bottom requires soaking. It is offered with an equipment record and a tandem-axle trailer.
