1969 MODEL YEAR CHRIS-CRAFT LANCER '25 - COMPLETELY REBUILT/REFIT IN 2013

Cocktail Island is likely the best example of the Chris Craft Lancer 25 in existence today.  This award-winning boat has been professionally rebuilt and restored by Rick Smith at Smith Marine (2013) at the direction of her owner; a long-time owner/restorer of classic Chris Craft runabouts and founding member of the Chesapeake Bay Chapter of the Antique and Classic Boat Society.  She has been kept in pristine condition since her rebuild.  She shows like a new boat and is routinely presented at classic boat shows and boating events.  

Designed by Jim Wynne, the Lancer’s the Lancer’s deep v hull provides a remarkable ride and can take on a significant chop.  The owner reports Cocktail Island is the best riding boat he has ever owned.  The boat’s open design offers a great deal of versatility, whether you fish, ski or just like cruising the waterways she’s got you covered. 

Don’t miss this rare opportunity to acquire this like new, classic! Call for a showing today.

Note: There is no trailer included with this boat.
