1963 27’ Sea Skiff
Written by Bob Kanak

Here’s my latest acquisition, a 1963 27’ Chris Craft Sea Skiff. I bought it for the trailer for my other Sea Skiffs thinking I would part out the boat but it is in remarkably good condition. The upholstery is not torn, just dirty. Everything is there, the hull is sound, it needs cosmetics, paint and varnish. This Sea Skiff has a single 283 with 853 hours. I bought the boat in Wister, OK about 50 miles from Fort Smith. It use to reside on Grand Lake at the mouth of Drowning Creek which is the next cove down from where our property is in Big Hollow Cove.
