This is not just an old boat. It is a 1957 Cadillac 14-foot runabout from the era when small boats had style, personality, and just enough chrome-age confidence to make every trip to the lake feel like an event. Built in the golden age of weekend boating, this Cadillac carries the look and spirit of the late 1950s: simple lines, compact size, easy towing, and the kind of classic profile that turns heads at the ramp before it ever touches the water. It is the sort of boat that belongs behind a vintage car, at a lake cottage, in a classic boat show, or in the hands of someone who enjoys preserving things with real character. At 14 feet, it is manageable, towable, and easy to store, but still has enough presence to feel special. It would make a great restoration candidate, conversation piece, display boat, or vintage lake cruiser depending on how far the next owner wants to take it. The appeal here is the story: a 1957 Cadillac boat, from the same postwar period that gave us tailfins, two-tone paint, lake cabins, outboard motors, and family weekends on the water. Boats like this were built for simple fun — a cooler, a couple of life jackets, a sunny afternoon, and no need for a 30-foot slip or a six-figure budget. This boat is being sold as a vintage classic, not a modern production boat. The next owner should appreciate its age, inspect it carefully, and see the potential. Whether restored to period-correct condition or enjoyed as a charming survivor, it has the kind of name, size, and era that make it much more interesting than the average used boat. A great candidate for a collector, restorer, lake-house owner, vintage outboard enthusiast, or anyone who wants something with a little soul. 1957 Cadillac. 14 feet. Classic lines. Easy to tow. Hard to find. Ready for its next chapter.

Boathouse kept . No soak no need for bilge pump 327 Fire Ball rebuilt always starts . Also comes with a larger displacement matching but newer Fire Ball.

Spring has sprung and it is time to put away the snowmobile and think about getting wet in a true antique 15 foot run-about. This is a head-turner and a throwback to what sunny Sunday afternoon boating was all about. 1965 15 foot Marlin "Sun-Day" - perhaps the last one around. 6 were manufactured in Florida and the factory burned. Original baby-blue with original colour matched Gale 35 HP electric start out board engine. Engine starts and runs well. Parts are the same as a 1965 Johnson 35 hp motor. Steering cables and electric harness have been replaced but everything else is original. This smart little boat looks like the 60's with tail fins and will make a statement on the water. Comes with original trailer, freshly painted with new tires, rims, crank (and strap) and electrical.

My dad bought this boat the year I was born in 1985, I have a lifetime of memories of boating trips on the Chips Ahoy. He passed away last year, and I just can not bring myself to keep and maintain it. It was a labor of love for him.

My grandfather, uncle, and father worked for Chris Craft. My dad and I purchased this boat in the late 1990s and it was refurbished shortly thereafter by the Mayes Boat works in Fair Haven, Mi. I told possession of “Stainte Clair” when my father passed in 2004. In 2020about $15,00o was invested in a new 5200 bottom and all related structure that was needed. It has been kept indoors exclusively since 2020.

Great little unique/rare boat made in Cadillac MI in the 1950s. Looks great, runs fine, and attracts a lot of attention. Everything is original on this boat. Always kept on a hoist in summer and garage in winter. Selling because the wife and I are just getting a little too old to climb in and out of it ...

This 1940 barrelback Chris Craft is a classic and is just beautiful heading down the lake. We spent many summers skiing behind it and enjoying cruises around the lake that we used to live on, Buckeye Lake (it throws a perfect wake to ski behind). My father-in-law completely restored this boat but their are a couple of bottom boards that need replaced or repaired. It was purchased because it had a reliable engine in great shape (Chrysler, I believe). With some TLC, this boat would be ready to go back in the water where it belongs. It has been in storage for approximately the last seven years, under roof all that time. Would love to find the right person that can get this gem back in the water where it belongs!

1954 Chris-Craft 19’ Racing Runabout – Original Lake Tahoe Boat Classic 1954 Chris-Craft Racing Runabout, original Lake Tahoe boat with a winning history at the Lake Tahoe Concours d ’Elegance. This is one of the iconic post-war “Racers” known for their sleek lines, dual cockpit layout, and exceptional performance on the water. The boat features an older restoration that still presents well and retains the character and craftsmanship these mahogany runabouts are known for. A great opportunity for someone looking for a usable classic with pedigree, or a candidate for a light cosmetic refresh. Powered by the original-style Chris-Craft MBL inline 6-cylinder engine with 158 HP. Highlights: • 19’ Racing Runabout (dual cockpit) • Original Tahoe boat • Originally ordered with a spotlight, siren and rope guides • 5200 Bottom • Older restoration • Classic mahogany hull • Highly collectible model (only ~500 produced) • Tandem axel trail in great shape and with new tires This is a standout classic that draws attention wherever it goes and represents a piece of American boating history. Available for inspection by appointment.

The Lady Ripples was restored 2000-2001 by Heritage Boat Works in Winnipeg, Manitoba. New top decks, re-chromed, leather interior, WB motor rebuilt and balanced. Kept in a boathouse on Lake of the Woods, Kenora, Ontario, since restoration. Winner of the annual Kenora Harbourfest antique boat show for several years. Purchased in 1929 by Winnipeg businessman and politician, The Honorable Robert Rogers. Sir Winston Churchill and his sons were carried to his summer camp on Lake of the Woods during his visit on August 20, 1929. A video of Churchill’s visit to the Roger’s camp, and in the boat, is available upon request. The current owner purchased the Lady Ripples in 1976, and has maintained the boat on Lake of the Woods ever since.

The Highland - Built in 1910 in a Philadelphia firehouse - originally led to water by horses and used as a ferry. She was stored in a boat house also built by Ephraim Jones. It was purchased in 2001 by current owner and fully restored by a master shipwright in Boise, Idaho. At that time, the gas powered engine was converted to electric propulsion. We do still have the gas engine and would include it with the sale. It had been stored in a carport, and is in need of some TLC. A survey was performed 08/21/2023 and will be provided.

All original restored.  The boat is kept indoors (hangar) most of the year, and is run during the summer months.  The boat runs excellent.  Paint and varnish is good.  Nice trailer and new custom cover.  Serious inquiries only.

The Century Ski-Dart was an early evolution of the wood-hulled runabout which led the way towards the development of more modern watersports boats. Her sleek design, light weight, and centered powerplant made her a high performer in her era. At a published top speed of 42mph, this boat will hold her own on today's waters as well. The Ski-Dart sports the original yellow and black color and the striking dart graphic on her hull. The African Makore Mahogany hull is original plywood and does not require soaking. The original tow bar, which was mounted with the engine on Ski-Darts, stands ready to pull skiers and tubers. Includes original ladder and wooden skis. Original brochure included too. I'm out of room! The nicely finished bench seats in front and back are finished wood. In classic boating style, just put the floating cushions on, launch the boat in the water, and go! No soaking required. The Ski-Dart was smartly designed with lateral stowage under the gunnels for a removable swim ladder, classic water skis, and an emergency oar.

I purchased my Lyman January 2024 on Georgia’s Lake Hartwell shore. The Lyman had been sitting on the 1958 Gator trailer for decades. The Lyman hull # 53269 built in Sandusky Ohio in 1959 one of 366 15ft Lyman’s built that year.

Motor is a 1975 Johnson 50HP Outboard that has been thoroughly serviced, with a new aluminum 12” propeller with 17” pitch, primed and painted with original paint codes and new OEM decals.

2nd owner of this 1963 19 ft Chris Craft Cavalier Golden Arrow. Originally purchase in Penn Yan, NY. Always in used in fresh water

We bought Wood Duck in Lake Tahoe in 2007. We had a custom trailer built and brought her home to Salinas. Since then we spent many fun summers back at Kings Beach and cruising in the Delta. She is a beautifyl mahogany boat and deserves to be back on the water.

My dad and I purchased this boat in 2015 from a wood boat broker in the Great Lakes area. The boat was living in Wisconsin prior to us purchasing it. It was trailered out to Lake Tahoe where its lived at Sierra Boat Co. in Carnelian Bay, CA to this day. We would use it for a couple weeks every summer, otherwise it's in dry storage. Routine service and maintenance performed by Sierra Boat Co. It does need a refinishing job here in the near future. We have never had any problems with her and she's a pleasure to drive. My dad has since passed so unfortunately its now for sale.

This was a restoration project my brother started. He passed away a short time ago. It has been in a garage since 1978. All the wood looks to be complete and in good shape. I do not see any signs of rot. On the boat are the original dash with the chrome fittings. There is no engine and that was to be part of the restoration. There is no windshield glass but the chrome stanchions for mounting the glass onto the deck are included. There is an old custom made tarp that may need to be replaced but it would provide a good pattern to make the new one. The boat is located in Fallbrook California which is about 50 miles north of San Diego.

Family owned and located on Cape Ann (MA) for 45+ yrs.; recently re-powered w/Mercruiser inline 6 cyl and Borg Warner Velvet Drive; closed system cooling; Fore (wheel) and aft (tiller) steering w/Morse power controls; 2nd generation mahogany and teak; fiberglass hull is precursor to present day Tripp 22 Bass Boat; Calkins trailer included; video (1-2 min) available; located in central Vermont.

1954 Peterborough Zephyr 14' cedar boat. Includes the original 1956 7.5Hp Sea-horse Johnson motor and my dad's 1979 9.9Hp Evinrude motor (each motor has it's own fuel tank). No leaks, includes trailer. The trailer is the original trailer built for the boat by my Grandpa. I've had a VIN assigned to it, upgraded the lights and modified the boat supports from rollers to rails/carpeted boards (which are better for even support of the cedar boat). This boat was my Grandpa's and was passed on to my cousin who performed some restoration and replaced the windscreen. They used the boat with the original 7.5Hp sea-horse Johnson motor. I acquired the boat in 2019 and had more restoration done (since it had been in storage again for some time). I disassembled the 7.5Hp motor and verified the water pump impeller was like new, replaced the head gasket, and re-assembled. I've had an issue finding an o-ring for the glass fuel filter, so I've run the boat with the 9.9 Evinrude motor.
