Description
The Vessel Yolo is a classic 1973 Chris-Craft motor yacht from the Roamer 68 series. She is built on a sturdy aluminum hull and features four staterooms, modern equipment and spacious accommodations throughout. This Chris-Craft is a truly worthy project for any dedicated enthusiast. The Roamer line as we know it began after Roamer was purchased by Chris-Craft in the 60s. They began as steel hulls, then aluminum and now fiberglass. This 68' is one of the rarer large models and features a full cabin layout that can accommodate 8-10 guests aboard. Owned for 11 years by its current captain, the boat has spent its most recent lifetime trolling the waters of the St. Johns river where she currently resides. She features twin 1271 Detroit Diesel engines with approximately 400 hours since their rebuild. Partially into her restoration, the boat is in slight project condition, perfectly capable of light river cruising but with cosmetic wear and in need of an engine room check up, she calls for a buyer who is willing to put in the investment necessary to bring her to her full glory.
