2007 Chris Craft Corsair 28

The Chris-Craft Corsair 28 is a heritage-styled day boat that sells on two things: the mahogany-and-teak look of a classic American runabout, and a deep-V hull that behaves far better than its retro profile suggests. This 2007 example, listed as a sport yacht for sale in Mugla, Turkey, runs a single 400 hp Volvo Penta 8.1 GXi and carries a 110,000 EUR asking price. Anyone weighing a new 28-footer against a used yacht in this bracket should study closely what the Corsair delivers for the money.
 

Buy this Corsair if your boating is coastal and social: day trips with family or friends, lunch stops in a quiet bay, and the occasional overnight with two people aboard. It suits an owner who keeps a berth in Mugla and wants something easily handled short-handed, or a buyer stepping up from a smaller runabout into a recognised American brand. It is the wrong purchase for anyone planning blue-water passages, liveaboard stretches or serious offshore fishing, because a 28-foot single-engine hull with three feet of draft will not make those jobs pleasant.
 

Is the Chris-Craft Corsair 28 for Sale?

Yes, this 2007 Chris-Craft Corsair 28 is currently offered for sale through its listing broker. The boat is located in Mugla, Turkey, and is being actively marketed to buyers who want a heritage-styled day boat with a deep-V hull. Because Chris-Craft keeps desirability in a way generic European walkarounds do not, well-kept Corsairs tend to attract attention, so availability of a comparable example in similar condition may be limited.
 

For buyers, availability is less important than the condition of the specific boat. Engine hours, Volvo Penta 8.1 GXi service records, the last compression test, cooling-system work receipts, hull moisture, and deck coring should all be reviewed. A well-maintained example with documented service history can have a very different ownership profile from another Corsair 28 that has deferred maintenance.
 

Chris-Craft Corsair 28 Price

The asking price for this 2007 Chris-Craft Corsair 28 is 110,000 EUR. Chris-Craft keeps desirability in a way generic European walkarounds do not, so a well-kept Corsair tends to depreciate more slowly than its peers, which supports the asking price. Buy condition and service history rather than the lowest asking price in the market. Asking prices are subject to change and should not be treated as confirmed transaction values.
 

The purchase price is only part of the budget for a 28-foot day boat. Plan on roughly 16 to 20 gallons an hour at cruise, which makes petrol the biggest line item at Turkish pump prices before you count annual servicing of the raw water pump, manifolds and ignition system on an 8.1. Add berthing, insurance and antifouling, and a realistic yearly budget lands near 8,000 to 12,000 EUR. Buyers should also account for a professional survey, sea trial, and general upkeep.
 

Performance and Propulsion

This Chris-Craft Corsair 28 is powered by a single Volvo Penta 8.1 GXi inboard with 400 horsepower, pushing this hull to a 30-knot top end and a steady 20-knot cruise, enough for skiing and wakeboarding without the fuel bill of a twin-engine layout. The Volvo Penta 8.1 GXi is a well-known gasoline inboard with readily available parts, and single inboard power is simpler and cheaper to maintain than sterndrive or twin installations, a real factor for a first-time owner.
 

The deep-V hull behaves far better than its retro profile suggests, and 150 gallons of fuel capacity supports long, unhurried runs between Gocek, Fethiye and Marmaris without hunting for a fuel dock. Actual speed and fuel consumption depend on load, sea conditions, propeller condition, and hull maintenance, so sea trial at cruise and at full throttle on the same day. Plan on roughly 16 to 20 gallons an hour at cruise.
 

Exterior Design and Construction

This 2007 Chris-Craft Corsair 28 features the mahogany-and-teak look of a classic American runabout, and Chris-Craft gelcoat work and stainless hardware have aged better than most 2007 sport yachts, so the boat still reads as something newer on the dock. Ten feet of beam carried well forward gives the teak-lined cockpit real seating depth, so four adults ride in comfort instead of being wedged behind the helm.
 

Buyers should commission a surveyor to check hull moisture, deck coring and the fuel system, and inspect the hull and deck, stringers, bulkheads, running gear, propeller, through-hulls, fuel tank, and steering system. The teak-lined cockpit, stainless hardware, deck fittings, and railings should also be tested. Ask for receipts for any cooling-system work before you travel to see her.
 

Interior and Accommodation

This 2007 Chris-Craft Corsair 28 features an enclosed cabin that holds a V-berth for two plus a private head, turning a day boat into a genuine weekender on the Turkish coast. The layout suits day trips with family or friends, lunch stops in a quiet bay, and the occasional overnight with two people aboard. It is not designed for blue-water passages or liveaboard stretches, which is consistent with its role as a coastal day boat.
 

Individual boats may have different upholstery, flooring, and interior finishes depending on subsequent refits. Buyers should inspect the V-berth, private head, plumbing, bilge systems, and storage areas for condition and evidence of regular maintenance. The enclosed cabin and private head add real practicality for a 28-foot boat and support occasional overnight use.
 

What to Check Before Buying a Chris-Craft Corsair 28

Before you travel to see her, ask for the engine hour log, the last compression test and receipts for any cooling-system work. The survey should cover the hull and deck, stringers, bulkheads, running gear, propeller, through-hulls, fuel tank, steering system, electrical equipment, plumbing, and bilge systems. Commission a surveyor to check hull moisture, deck coring and the fuel system, then sea trial at cruise and at full throttle on the same day.
 

The single Volvo Penta 8.1 GXi inboard should be inspected individually, including engine hours, service records, compression test results, diagnostic reports, cooling system, raw water pump, manifolds, ignition system, and propeller. Buyers should also test navigation electronics, VHF radio, pumps, and other onboard systems. If the numbers hold up, this is a low-drama used yacht purchase with nothing hiding in the paperwork.
