1966 ChrisCraft Cavalier Cutlass, Hull # VXA-22-3053-C. Designed to be a Seaworthy salt water fishing boat. Sold new, Oakland Ca. 1966. A doctor in Sausalito converted decks to varnished Mahogany shortly there after. In 1998 Ralph Mooers and his son Wayne (whom I bought from) replaced original CC GM 283 V-8, with a brand new 285 hp, Pleasure Craft Marine Ford 351. At that time they also cut off the original painted plywood bottom and replaced it with new marine plywood and fiber glassed to the waterline. This boat turns heads and gets a lot of attention where ever it goes (even on the trailer going down the road). Even though it’s a little pretty for fishing or crabbing it really is a serious salt water boat that easily handles the nastiest stuff in SF Bay and out the gate. I’m going to miss it but I’ve got 64 Cutlass also, that I plan to convert to center console for crabbin and abbin. Hope Scout gets in and we get to meet at the show.
