About
“Sweet Inspiration” is a 1985 Chris-Craft 426 that stands apart from many boats of her age thanks to long-term freshwater use, extensive upgrades and an ownership history focused on maintaining and improving the boat rather than simply keeping it original.
Kept in indoor heated storage since 2015, she has received significant investment over the years, including custom dual hardtops, bow and stern thrusters, ZF digital controls at both helm stations, an extended swim platform with stainless stairs, solar charging, inverter/charger, Starlink and numerous interior and exterior improvements.
Inside, the 426 offers the space and layout these classic Chris-Craft motor yachts are known for. There are two private staterooms and two heads, including a large aft master, along with a spacious salon, dinette and renovated galley with an apartment-size refrigerator, convection microwave, induction cooktop and additional custom cabinetry. Two electric fireplaces and three reverse-cycle heat and air-conditioning units make the boat comfortable throughout the boating season.
The aft deck has also been extensively customized with dual hardtops, cabinetry, storage and newer 2025 canvas. Combined with the extended swim platform, stainless stairs and full-length custom safety railings along the side decks, these improvements make the boat considerably more practical for extended time aboard.
Power is provided by twin 340 HP MerCruiser 454 V8s. A recent mechanical inspection and compression test have been completed with satisfactory results and consistent and documented service to help ensure lots of life left in these engines. Docking is made considerably easier with Side-Power bow and stern thrusters and upgraded ZF electronic shift and throttle controls at both stations.
For someone looking for a spacious freshwater motor yacht without stepping into the price range of a much newer 40-plus-foot boat, “Sweet Inspiration” offers a lot of boat, equipment and usable living space. She has been extensively customized over the years and is ready for her next owner to enjoy.
