COMMENTS: THE ROSE OF SHARON is exquisite and unique. Very recent refit and customized to a very high standard. The fit and finish of the customized interior joiner work is outstanding and unique using varnished mahogany and maple joinery. She is truly a “head turner” in every respect, her lines are graceful with extensive bow flare, she is efficient,  no nonsense, but purebred pedigree designed by a world class yacht builder, none other than Chris Craft. The previous owner spent 9 years taking her down to the bare hull, and then meticulously put her back together, with all new systems and equipment.  She was repowered with brand new Twin Crusader 5.7 liter, 330 hp Multi-port Fuel injected inboard engines. Everything related to them is all new. The interior is custom-built cabinetry made from Chris-Craft stained mahogany and tiger-stripe milled hard maple. The cabin top was extended 6 feet over the aft cockpit, with all-weather “Sunbrella” roll-up enclosure. She has foam insulated hull and topsides, a bus-style engine heat blower, a Force 10 propane cabin heater, and reverse cycle heat and A/C and generator.
