They Don’t Build Them Like This Anymore | Classic 1965 Chris-Craft 57 Constellation Tour Step aboard a living piece of American boating history in this special walkthrough of Unforgettable—a 1965 Chris-Craft 57′ Constellation that’s still turning heads nearly 60 years after she was launched. In this YachtLens exclusive, We’re joined by Todd Powell of Chuck Hovey Yachts, who shares the story and refit journey behind this unforgettable classic. Todd and host Rick Hoffman take you through every detail of this beautifully preserved mahogany cruiser during the Seattle Boats Afloat Show. 🚤 About Unforgettable This is one of those rare yachts that reminds you what craftsmanship used to mean. From the double-planked mahogany hull to the vintage helm controls and warm teak interior, Unforgettable is the kind of boat that gets boaters stopping mid-dock to stare. She's not a speed demon—but that’s not the point. She cruises comfortably at 11–12 knots, powered by twin Detroit Diesel 8V71Ns that sound like they belong in a museum (in the best way possible). 📏 Basic Specs • LOA: 57′ 0″ (17.37 m) • Beam: 15′ 6″ (4.72 m) • Engines: Twin Detroit Diesel 8V71N (318 HP each) • Top Speed: ~20 knots • Cruise Speed: ~11–12 knots • Fuel: ~560 gal (2,120 L) • Range: ~400 nm (741 km) 🛠 Highlights for the Yacht Geeks: • Original factory “coupe-style” hardtop • Spacious 4-stateroom layout with 2 heads • Northern Lights generator • Teak swim step with Sea Wise davit system • Carefully restored and stored in freshwater under cover • Surveyed “above average”—because she deserves it 🧭 Who’s This Video For? This one’s for the dreamers, the wood boat lovers, the guys who still remember when Chris-Craft was a badge of honor, not just a name. Whether you're a marina rat, a restoration buff, or just appreciate a boat that smells like varnish and salt air—this is your jam. 🎙 Presented by YachtLens Hosted by yacht consultant and filmmaker Rick Hoffman, YachtLens is dedicated to exploring distinctive yachts, frame by frame.
