1985 Chris-Craft 426 CATALINA

Classic Chris-Craft styling meets spacious cruising comfort aboard this well-kept 1985 Chris-Craft Catalina. Having spent its entire life in freshwater, this Catalina has been enjoyed by the same owner since the early 2000s and offers the solid construction, generous accommodations, and timeless design that made these yachts a favorite among Great Lakes cruisers.

Designed with comfortable extended cruising in mind, the Catalina features both upper and lower helm stations, allowing for confident operation in a variety of weather conditions. Below, the spacious interior offers two private queen staterooms and two heads, providing exceptional accommodations for owners and guests alike. The forward head includes a separate shower, while the aft captain's suite features an en-suite head with a tub and shower - a rare and desirable feature in a yacht of this size. The fully equipped galley includes a refrigerator, oven, and microwave, making extended weekends or longer cruises aboard easy and enjoyable.

Powered by twin Crusader 454 gasoline engines, she cruises comfortably at approximately 17 knots and is equipped with a generator, three air conditioning/heat units, autopilot, windlass, open-array radar, GPS/depth finder, spotlight, hailer, davit with a four-point dinghy hoist, and dual 50-amp shore power service.

Notable updates include new fuel tanks installed in 2020. The top canvas is in good condition, all gauges are operational, bilge pumps are functioning properly, and the majority of onboard systems are in working order.

If you're looking for a spacious, freshwater cruiser with classic lines, comfortable accommodations, proven Great Lakes pedigree, and the equipment to start cruising immediately, this Chris-Craft Catalina is an excellent opportunity.
