1985 Chris-Craft 336 Mid Cabin

Step down the companionway and you’ll notice how bright this 336 feels for a mid‑80s cruiser—large portlights and hatches keep the cabin from feeling cave‑like. The mid‑cabin is tucked far enough aft to be a quiet, cozy retreat, while still easy to access for late‑night movie marathons or kids’ nap time. Up top, the helm has great sightlines when docking, and wide side decks with sturdy rails make line‑handling less of a circus act. There’s plenty of flat, usable foredeck for sun pads or tossing a crab trap overboard. Underway, the wide beam gives this boat a planted, confident feel that inspires trust when the afternoon chop kicks up.

In these waters, you want a boat that can do lazy harbor evenings and longer weekend hops with equal ease. The 336 Mid Cabin’s generous beam and solid hull make it comfortable when the afternoon breeze stacks up a short, steep chop, yet it’s still manageable for a couple to run without extra hands. The mid‑cabin layout shines on changeable days—kids or guests can duck below to cool off while others stay in the cockpit watching the shoreline slide by. With good deck space for fenders and lines, plus a practical swim platform for quick dips, it’s well‑suited to the mix of sheltered anchorages and open stretches you’ll find here.
