Bianca (III)

Maurizio Hublitz states "Built from Mahogany on oak frames. Decks are teak. Bianca is a 32 foot cabin cruiser built in 1959. This vessel is a Chris-Craft 32ft Express one of 17 built between 1957 and 1959 in Holland Michigan. Her hull is double planked solid mahogany under the water line and batten seamed mahogany above the water line. Frames and stingers made out of white oak. All decks are solid teak. This vessel was originally powered by two Chrysler 392 and had a recorded top speed by the first dealer at Bryant Marine in Seattle of 33mph (28knots), today this vessel has two new 350hp engines and a top speed we had her to 27 knots loaded with all onboard equipment. Her normal cruising speed is 20 knots, that is also her lowest fuel consumption at 2 liters per nautical mile. We have restored her to be as original as possible down to all appliances to be era correct even all the magazines in the onboard magazine stand are from 1959. We use her extensively with 2000 nautical mile covered each year."
