Hello all new Mickey here on the forum. I’ve been around & owned boats all my life but don’t know much about Chris Crafts so any guidance & info is very much appreciated. The boat in question looks to be in the pictures very clean & taken care of. I am told the current owner ( 3 Yrs) is a diesel mechanic. All that being said here goes.
I am looking at the above boat in a day or two. It is a little bigger then I was looking for but it would work for me.
It has twin 8-53s w/about 750 original hrs so I’m told. I believe all the tanks (fuel,water,holding) are original as is the fresh water system & plumbing & bath rm’s. I am concerned about the tanks & plumbing. I would appreciate any thoughts ,comments & input.
Thanks for your input

I'm not one knowledgeable about the tanks - other than they are old, and you may consider replacing at some point - but there are many of us out there with original tanks (water and fuel). Unless you take a borescope with you, that'd be hard to guess on.
As for the plumbing... unless things have been changed (or sort of repaired over the years), all of the water lines will be copper, and should be ok. Find out a bit more about the heads... how old, etc. while you're checking it out.
if you can get some pictures and come back to the group with them, some of us might be able to weigh in a bit more.
