Something seems off. That's a lot of money in outboards for $35k.

on the bottom of the page it reads.

I don't believe it is a chris, but if it were it would be a scorpion most likely. Does seem like a lot of motor for the $$

I know it says Chris craft... But what model
I've googled and can't seem to find any Chris craft 38 with that same
Looking hull

its probably some sort of scam .If it sounds to good to be true it probably is. Have you went to look at the boat in person or talked to the guy?

what year is it?

Guy says is 88, I haven't seen the boat yet in person I"ll me going tmrw to go see it

Did you go check out the boat?

I went the guy had another boat which to me indicates he likes boats and or knows about boats. So I asked few questions he acted stupid like he new nothing about boats, the boat seems like it was a drug boat, the floor in the front has two big fuel tanks they did a terrible job installing them the floor is straight then it has a big step and all that part is soft floor messed up. Couldn't get the engines fired it was out of battery... Tough luck

I thought it was a carrera. There are alot of boat flippers down there....Sometimes you get a decent deal. If those engines and hull check out it is alot of boat for the money.

That's exactly what I was comparing it last night
To a Carrera.ill have to go with a friend that has
More knowledge of how to check a hull I guess

No body knows what Chris craft this would be?

Hull I.D. #'s would solve this

If You Do Buy It, Set Up the Boat properly On the Trailer Before you Haul for safety sake.
That Boat looks like O/B Conversion and Made into CC.
Check HIN# X2

That's what I'll do, how can I check the HIN # and motor serial numbers to make sure everything is legal and not stolen?

Ok I got the HIN # CCBA6121I788 it's actually a 35.2 I still can't find what model it is... It just looks like a chopped Carrera any body chime in

CCB is a Chris Craft HIN but I dont recall any 35 footers. there was a couple of 31's, one with a transom cutout and one with a bracket. to be honest that does not even look like a Chris hull with the way the strakes run in the front. makes me wonder if someone built it and had a clean title for a Chris and changed the numbers?

That's my concern no where on Internet I've seen any hull like that other than the 32 and 36 CC Carrera

did he ever get motors running

Not much more than we already knew no model

What is a record?

Important: When you are spending thousands on a used boat, you can reduce your risk of buying a boat with costly hidden problems by learning more about its history.

All three engines fired right up no problems no misfire, so then this is a bad hull to buy?

first question is what are the engines, trailer, etc worth? if they add up to enough that the hull is basically free then it could be a deal. so long as the hull is solid and you are not worried that it truely is a Chris Craft then I would say look at it as a possible good deal.

Looks like a Carrera 36 , does not look like a chris craft..
Here is pic of newer CARRERA 36 with rounded back,older models had a squared off back:

All three engines are about 20-23K total trailer 2-3 hull 8-10 it's a fair deal but what concerns me
Is the hull it's an identical copy of the old inboard Carrera nothing to with Chris craft

if you look here its the same hull....
