I had a Golden Arrow. I paid $2,600 for mine so I figure you stole yours.
The Chris Craft Essential Guide lists your boat as a Cavalier Division 1964 16' Custom Ski boat. (No reference to Golden Arrow) The upholstery in my boat (below) was original so obviously, yours has been re-done. Anyway, here's a copy of the page:

yes i can tell it was redone,motor runs like a top. can't find anything wrong so far. except trailer is junk. only reason i say golden arrow is the little vent on the bow like yours. guy said his dad got it new and died 6 months ago and he didn't know anything about boats. know more than i did before. guy 75 miles away has what he says is a 1929 chris with a model t motor for 2500. going to look today

Either way, it's not original and that will radically lower the value. Let us know the outcome. Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.
