Description
Step back into the golden era of boating with this 1967 HalCraft 16 ft Custom Day Cruiser, a beautifully preserved piece of 1960s craftsmanship built by Halvorson Marine and powered by its period correct 1967 Chrysler 55HP outboard.
This boat captures the spirit of summer afternoons on the lake, polished chrome shining in the sun, mahogany glowing against the water, and the unmistakable sound of a classic two stroke coming to life. It is not just transportation. It is a time capsule.
The exterior hull has been restored and presents beautifully. The interior features rich mahogany woodwork, original style chrome gauges, chrome horn, chrome lighting, and polished hardware throughout. The snap-in carpeted floor adds comfort while preserving the authentic vintage feel.
For collectors and enthusiasts, this HalCraft includes original documentation and supporting materials that reinforce its history and provenance. Boats with this level of originality and documentation are becoming increasingly difficult to find.
Modern usability meets classic design with a Garmin Striker Vivid depth and fish finder. The Chrysler 55HP has received recent lower unit service including new seals, pressure testing, and fresh lube. A hydrofoil enhances planing and stability.
Included is a restored Holsclaw trailer, full convertible top with windows, custom snap-on travel cover, storage cover, boarding ladder, anchor, dock lines, life jackets, and fire extinguisher. It is turn key and ready for the lake, the marina, or the show field.
Second owner and stored for most of its life, this one of a kind HalCraft represents a rare opportunity to own a true classic that draws attention wherever it goes.
Offered at 14,900. Serious and respectful offers will be considered.
