The engines in this boat are original equipment 6 cylinder flat head Hercules purchased from Chris-Craft for Stephens Bros in 1956. They have not been rebuilt. One is strong and runs fine while the other has some overheating problems. The owners are having it professionaly evaluated to determine the cause and fix. At this time we have to assume this engine will need some repair and therefore can be considered in negotiations. There are no hour meters. Horsepower on these engines is reported to be anywhere from 120 to 145 depending on which resource is accessed.
The boat has two 12 volt batteries (one for each engine as a starting battery) and four 6 volt batteries in the house bank.
Although the flybridge controls are all in place and look reasonably sound, the transmission shifting levers don't function from that location as they are push button electric from the main helm. These could be repaired, or the flybridge could be used for outdoor seating in port instead of for boat operation underway.

A great deal of work was done on this lovely boat in 1998-2000 including propane cabin heat, galley stove, fridge, head and holding tank, countertops, upholstery and exterior work. In 2005 her bottom was refastened and some sistering to the bones done. Varnish and metal polish are the main items that need done today plus a decision on how to deal with the one tired engine.
If you are a classic wooden boat enthusiast with mechanical aptitude this beautiful Stephens yacht could be your next love.
The Tacoma Narrows Marina boathouse this Stephens is moored in is also for sale.
