actually be this clean? It's a legitimate ad from a known dealer throughout chesapeake bay. They didn't publish the hours.

Sure! I have a 2001 boat that is in great shape and a 1989 boat also in great shape.

It’s easy to keep things clean. It’s hard to get them clean if you neglect them. Yes I even wax my yard equipment.

My 2001 Chris Craft Constellation 26 turned 25 this year - you'd never know it. Of course it has only been used in fresh water. It "lives" on a trailer in covered storage and has spent most of its life in the high desert of Utah and Wyoming. With 411 hours on the tach, that pencils out to less than 16.5 hours per year! I'm not a hard core fisherman that trolls for hours on end. More of a boat-camper - getting from point A to point B in search of the perfect anchorage. I get as much satisfaction tinkering and polishing the ol' girl as I do from actually using it.

My 1997 226 is just as clean with almost 3,000 hours of documented saltwater use.

Probably was in dry storage, did that with my proline for a year, nice to call them up and have your boat waiting and fueled at the dock. One time I went 30 miles out and thought, crap, I should only have 1/8 fuel. Turns out the guys at marina filled it before I left without my asking. why ? " because you always fuel up "
They got an extra fifty that day.
sold the boat for 2500 more than I paid because it looked brand new.
Mind you, I was kinda ocd about it.
