Chris-Craft's Mid-Century Flagship Masterpiece, Reimagined for Modern PNW Cruising
MAJOR PRICE REDUCTION - NOW $239,000
Likely the finest award-winning 57' Constellation on the West Coast - one of only eight factory extended hardtops ever built, and recipient of the 2019 Classic Yacht Association People's Choice Award at the Bell Harbor Marina Classic Weekend. Surveyed at $325,000 with zero recommendations - the result of a $1.5M+ refit led by a full-time project manager (2010-2014). All systems thoroughly updated. Highly economical twin Detroit power. Always a head-turner underway or at anchor - be prepared to be the center of attention.
Premier covered Lake Union moorage with skyline views - liveaboard eligible and transferable. LLC owned for significant tax savings. Owner financing available.
At the new asking price of $239,000, UNFORGETTABLE represents an irreplaceable value - a documented, surveyed, and award-winning classic priced well below recent independent survey and well below replacement.
Historical Significance
UNFORGETTABLE is one of the last wooden Chris-Crafts ever built - just 262 of these 57' Constellations were crafted before Chris-Craft built their final wooden hull in 1971, and one of a handful remaining. She's better than factory. Totally reimagined for PNW yachting today.
