1950 Chris-Craft 22' Custom Sedan – $19,900 (Project Boat)

A rare opportunity to own an iconic piece of American boating history — this 22' Chris-Craft Custom Sedan is an original-owner boat and a true classic from the golden era of mahogany runabouts. Built between 1948–1954, this model features the signature hardtop sedan cabin, beautiful lines, and rich craftsmanship that define vintage Chris-Craft design.

This boat is being offered as a project vessel with enormous potential for a full restoration. Whether you're a collector, restorer, or classic boat enthusiast, this is a worthy candidate to bring back to show-stopping condition.
