We have only owned this boat since Valentine’s Day this year however we have had an unfortunate life changing event that forces us to sell our beauty and pass the project on to someone else who will bring her back to the original beauty she deserves. This boat is truly unique in that - it is the only one like it in the world. According to Wikipedia Chris Craft only made FOUR of the conquerors in 1958 and this one is the only survivor. She is work in progress but in the end, I can only image what she will be worth. Imagine owning the only boat in the world. There is so much room on this boat; it’s like your own personal floating condo. You can take it any where your heart desires, she’s ready to run. The work this boat needs is cosmetic, not mechanical; she starts right up and sounds amazing! They just don’t make boats like this anymore. The boat is Philippine mahogany double planked construction with original teak decks. She has 3 staterooms, 3 heads, one BIG salon and nice size galley. The salon has 13 windows (4 are cracked) there are bookshelf’s on both sides, above the bookshelf's there is a piece of wood that needs replaced. The salon has a new AC unit installed that works great. The original chart table in the salon is just beautiful to look at. Forward from the salon we have the galley. She has a 2 burner glass stove top, a brand new refrigerator, built in microwave, full 2 sided vinyl booth seating, and small pantry and allot of storage. She also has the original black and white checkered vinyl floor from 1958. The counters and sink have been upgraded to corian. The ceiling in the galley needs some work. Forward of the galley you have the crew quarters/V-berth and a head with a beautiful Corian counter-top. Also plenty of lockers and storage. Aft of the salon is the guest stateroom with 2 twin beds, a hanging locker/wardrobe, and plenty of drawers and storage cabinets. Across from guest stateroom is a head with a toilet and sink with Corian counter-top. Next aft we have the master stateroom. There is 1 full size bed (Mattress not included) and 1 twin bed with a very nice upgraded top quality mattress, 2 hanging lockers, drawers and an aft hatch that opens to the completely enclosed cockpit. There is an attached head with a complete Corian shower, Corian floors and counter-tops. Forward of galley is with twin bunks, storage lockers, and an attached head with sink, and Corian counter-top. This yacht is 99% completely original. The layout, every drawer, cupboard, and each and every handle & doorknob are original to this yacht. The only things changed on her are laminate floors in salon, Corian counters in all 3 heads and galley, plus a complete Corian shower and floor. Her original mahogany is apparent throughout the yacht. Nothing has been painted over. Any wood that might need replacing is visible. As you can tell from the photos her rich mahogany interior is a true state of beauty. We work on this boat every day, we are just finishing up the front deck, and it was completely sanded and refinished. We also did the aft of the boat and we are currently putting our final coat on the front deck. (If the rain would cooperate, it would be done) I have many of the original documents for this boat including the original work order to build the boat with both matching engine numbers listed. I also have the blueprints, original 1958 advertisement, the specs from Chris Craft from 1958, and receipts for some of the work done over the years by previous owner. This boat has been kept in her original state. She has not been cut up, or had cheap cabinets installed or had her original integrity compromised. These vintage yachts are very hard to find in their original condition much less with original paperwork. She is powered by twin Detroit Diesels 6I-71 that runs STRONG. Engines are original to this boat with approximately 2300 hours on them. There is also a 4JBLE-01 20 KW Yammer Generator that runs everything on the boat with power to spare! Generator has a new water strainer. She has 12V and 110 electrical systems in place. Ship to Shore power switch has been recently updated to a modern Oman switch. Engine batteries have been replaced with 8D 12V for more sufficient engine starting. Toilet has been updated with a new Electra Scan system which makes living aboard so easy. No holding tanks to empty EVER! New water pump installed in shower as well as new bilge pumps installed throughout entire boat. New air conditioner installed in salon. Wired for cable TV/internet. There are TWO 100 lb gas tanks on this boat but we were told one gas tank is out of commission - we are not why - we never looked into in further detail 100 gallons is plenty of gas. Some of the gauges do not work We have a comprehensive survey from a wooden boat surveyor/specialist from 2011.... Last pullout bottom job was done 2012 however she gets her bottom scrapped and cleaned on a regular basis with new anodes and zincs as she sits in salt water right now in Shalimar, FL. We are in a protected bay 2 miles from the gulf. Since this is a documented vessel, that means you don't have to pay sales tax on the purchase. You pay USCG 90.00 to transfer the document from our name to your name and that's it - you’re done with the paperwork for the sale. Insurance is cheap and easy to transfer through Markel. *Please note = There is one photo that was taking many years ago when she was in tip top shape out on the water. This photo is only being used to represent what she could like again if someone has the time and money to invest in her. All of the other photos were taking between July 7th and the 17th of 2015. The last thing I would like to say about this yacht is it is the only one left in the world. As I already mentioned, it was 1 of only 4 made in 1958.The 55' Chris Craft Conquerors were never built again. Chris Craft only produced 40' Conquerors starting in 1959.1958 was the last year of the 55' Conqueror and OUR BOAT IS THE VERY LAST ONE!!! A collectors dream...This is the one and only model that Chris Craft made with curved side windows. The 1958 55' Conqueror was the only boat to ever receive these jewels. Truly a one of a kind boat, open to offers above 30,000. If this boat was complete, it would bring in TOP dollar at the wooden boat festival in Madisonville, LA (this is also where the boat came here from) PLEASE send me a message if you would like a link to see a VIDEO OF THE TWIN DETROIT DIESELS AND THE GENERATOR RUNNING. PLEASE CALL OR TEXT me at Eight-Five-Zero-Three- Six-eight-Seven- Three-Three-Zero

1958 55' Chris Craft Conqueror USCG Documented Boat ATTENTION ALL COLLECTORS!! RARE 1 OF A KIND CHRIS CRAFT YACHT!! This Chris Craft Yacht is the very last of its kind. There were only 4 of the 55' Conquerors made in 1958 and ours is the only survivor! It is very rare to find a year in the history of Chris Crafts boat building that has only 1 boat left of a particular model, especially a 55' yacht. We are currently living on this boat Living on a boat is a dream come true for some! You can have a waterfront home for a fraction of the cost and you can move anywhere your heart desires. She is Philippine mahogany double planked construction with original teak decks. All hot/cold water pressure systems working, all electrical working, Electra Scan waste removal system for the head recently installed which means you never have to deal with holding tanks to be emptied. She had a bottom job in 2012. We live at a marina that can haul her out for your inspection (buyers cost) and they can also do any cosmetic work, deck sanding, bright work you need. Contact Shalimar Yacht Basin in Shalimar, Florida to get prices. We just had the bottom scraped and cleaned and new anodes and zincs put on. This yacht is a 3 stateroom,3 head layout.The salon is located in the center of the boat with bookshelves on either side,windows galore,cable T.V., original chart table,and a brand new air conditioner. Aft of the salon is the guest stateroom with 2 twin beds,a hanging locker/wardrobe,and plenty of drawers and storage cabinets. Across from guest stateroom is a head with a toilet and sink with Corian counter-top. Next aft we have the master stateroom. There is 1 full size bed (Mattress not included) and 1 twin bed with a very nice upgraded top quality mattress, 2 hanging lockers, drawers and an aft hatch that opens to the completely enclosed cockpit. There is an attached head with a complete Corian shower, Corian floors and counter-tops. Forward from the salon we have the galley.

Nothing, I mean NOTHING has been painted over.That is a very rare thing. Any wood that might need replacing is visible.
