I was wondering if it was a factory modification myself. Do you have pics of yours?


I think I do, somewhere. PM me your email addy and I'll send you a few pics.

Thanks for the info - it's very cool to see the progression from when callieface had it to this, and then where it is now.

Classic Feathercraft Vagabond - all aluminum - $7700 (Carrollton)

This is a classic 1950's era that does not need hardly any restoration - just assembly with updated components and a polishing to bring out the mirror-like shine
Classic Chris Craft styling with two-compartment seating - passengers in aft; captain in front compartment
Ultra-cool "boat-tail" styling at stern
All original - right down to the aluminum - crafted glove boxes in both compartments
Needs plywood or HDPE added to transom to seal & reinforce - currenly structurally sound with original aluminum struts anchored to the sole for extra support
Line ribs in sole with styrofoam and cover with teak to make her completely unsinkable
Have vintage outboard that comes with - don't know if it works
(Will need trany, throttle and steering linkage added)
Comes with vynl seats retrieved from a restaurant (one will need a slight trim)
Have plans for updating - including power tonneau design - or source vintage parts to match
Hull in great shape - one small dent port - aft
Will need updated electrical
Non-slip "pebble" texture on top deck; smooth, high-grade aluminum on top-sides:
Rub with 3000 grit wet sand cloth to bring out the beautiful shine (see pics)
Comes with original trailer
(not sure about length 16-18'?)

Price is definitely firm
