1962 Chris Craft Holiday original configuration question

[Dirty Dawg]

Hello all, I know very Little about these boats so I may have multiple questions.

I am considering looking at a 1962 20 ft Chris Craft Holiday. The owner says the motor is a Chrysler 413 and is "unsure" if it is original. Could it be correct? The pics show no Chris Craft badge. Most I have seen, seem to have Chevy blocks so I am not sure, but I have run into some 413s. Was there multiple engine options?

If this is not the original motor , how much would it affect the value of the boat?
Is there a web page that had specs and info as to what engine options was there.

Thanks Ike

Resurrection of a really old thread, but my family owned at 1962 Holiday with a factory 413. From what we understood, the boat was special ordered and delivered to Lake Arrow Head marina and used as a rental and for demonstration skiing. I wonder if we are talking about the same boat. We sold ours in Seattle, WA. The name was Hortense.

I'd be interested in knowing if there is another out there.
