I also have a '56 Chris Craft that has been idle for 15+ years and the engine remains free thanks to the mystery oil (I suspect).
Cool! Post up some pictures of that.
I own and operate Silver Cove Marine, which is an inboard boat restoration, service, and sales facility located in Mooresville, North Carolina. We specializes in Nautiques and Correct Crafts, and also provide general service for Nautiques fifteen years old and older.
If we can be of service to you, please contact us anytime!
I'd recommend using Marvel Mystery Oil in the cylinders. It does a number of things that other products, such as wd-40, don't. I usually spray it in my cylinders each winter when I winterize it and put a quart in the oil as well.
I second the Marvel Mystery Oil. I had a Mastercraft overheat and had the same problems you are having. I threw some Marvel Mystery Oil in there and it loosened everything up and it runs like new - no smoke, hesitations, or anything.
Another product that I am sold on is PB Blaster, that stuff will loosen things that WD-40 or Cyclo Break Away won't touch!! If you have a chance to try it I would highly recommend this stuff!
