1987 Chris-Craft 320 Amerosport ExpressSold

What stands out the moment you step aboard is how solid everything feels. The 320 Amerosport carries that hefty, confidence-inspiring hull that older Chris-Crafts are famous for, with wide side decks and substantial stainless hardware that hasn’t gone flimsy with age. The cockpit layout gives the skipper a raised helm with good sightlines while still feeling connected to the crew, and there’s enough beam to move around without squeezing past anyone. Engine access is generous under the cockpit sole, making routine checks and maintenance far less of a chore. Down below, the generous headroom and big side windows keep it from feeling like a cave, and the classic wood accents give the cabin a warm, nautical character newer boats often lack.

This 320 Amerosport is a smart match for these waters because it blends a deep, secure ride with comfortable topside living space. The hull has enough weight and deadrise to stay composed when afternoon chop kicks up, yet the overall length and beam remain manageable for slip space, fuel costs, and weekend handling. The open cockpit is ideal for long days outside—whether you’re trolling, rafting up with friends, or just cruising the shoreline—while the fully enclosed cabin gives you a dry, quiet retreat when weather changes or nights get cool. With its classic build quality and straightforward systems, it’s a forgiving choice for both seasoned skippers and owners stepping up to their first “real” cruiser.
