"Just Because" is a 1935 Chris Craft Model 16 utility. Professional restoration by Miller-Potter Boat Restoration of Manotick, Ontario, completed in Spring of 1991. The restoration was commissioned by former owner Ted Storey of Kingston, Ontario and a former member of the Board of Directors of the Antique and Classic Boat Society headquartered in Clayton, NY. Under Ted's ownership "Just Because" won numerous awards at some of the most prestigious antique boat show competitions in the US and Canada. I acquired ownership in 2008. I entered "Just Because" in the ACBS sanctioned boat show sponsored by the Finger Lakes Chapter while I was on vacation in Hammondsport, NY and came away with the Best Antique Utility Award. The boat is powered by the original (rebuilt) 60 HP Model B Chris Craft engine. "Just Because" has had little use over the years since restoration and has always been stored in a boat house or garage. Built at the Chris Craft plant at Algonac, Michigan and delivered to the Mercier Boat Works, Clayton, NY in April 1935. The first owner was W.W. Plumb of Syracuse, NY. The boat came under Canadian ownership at Kingston, Ontario in the late 1940's first by Jake Stansbury and then by Norman Edgar. Then by Ted and Amy Storey of Kingston when in underwent its complete restoration. The boat comes with a scrapbook documenting it's history and awards and bound in the original mahogany planks removed at its restoration at Miller-Potter Boatworks. "Just Because" was featured as the December boat of the month in the 1996 Classic Motorboats calendar.
