1956 MERCURY SABRE 16. ft. MAHOGANY RUNABOUT, with in-line 6 Gray Marine original motor.  Upholstery: vinyl, white with red piping. I believe the motor is roughly 100 HP.    Original wood trailer, needs new windshield, carburetor re-build, new battery, re-wire. Have complete new gasket set. I would consider this boat as more a ‘needs work’ rather than a ‘project boat’.  The structure and hull are sound, interior re-painted, and do not believe the engine to have any issues.  This mahogany runabout is a vintage classic: 1956 Mercury Sabre, 16 ft. Wooden Power Boat. Best as I know, it is complete with original trim, gauges, forward/reverse lever, etc. I purchased the boat with my neighbor, and intentions of us polishing it up ourselves.  Reminded me of the wood Chris Craft lake boats I grew up with. It was in running order when we purchased.  But with both of our busy professional lives, time has not been on our side. We did perform some work on the boat, but have never put it in the water.  We crafted a new stainless exhaust manifold, painted the interior hull, replaced all the visible screws with stainless, installed a new stiffening plate behind where the propellor shaft exits. Carburetors need to be cleaned/rebuilt.  The vinyl-upholstered seats and motor cover are in good shape.  It has been tarped since we purchased in 2009.   The exterior mahogany would look terrific if it were refinished.  The interior is in quite good shape.  We were planning to rewire, since the previous owner had installed all the same-color wiring.  The windshield is an acrylic replacement that is damaged and needs to be replaced.  Original wood trailer and Mercury hubcaps.  Have rebuild kits for the dual carburetors.  Wish we had found to time to work on it…Fixed up, this boat will be a beauty!    If you have any questions call 949-230-3628, Steve. The boat is located in Costa Mesa, Southern California.

This boat was 1 of 4 built by Fred Heim of Sudbury Mass. I acquired 2 of them about 15 years ago and they've been stored inside ever since. Includes a Evinrude Speedtwin that ran when I got it and galvanized trailer with almost no miles. Check Freds builds out at https://craftsmanshipmuseum.com/artisan/fred-heim/fred-heim-photos/

This boat was originally owned by Bon Jovi. Full restored by Old Time Boat Company. Runs fantastic!

To be honest, I don't know a lot about this boat. It belonged to my uncle, who purchased the boat in the late 1990s. He put a fair amount of money and time into fixing it up and restoring it. He enjoyed it for many years on a freshwater lake in Seattle, WA. The boat was not used much in the last several years of his life, but was always under cover. He has since passed, and I unfortunately need to sell it to someone who will enjoy it and appreciate it like he did. It has a newer trailer that comes with it, which was purchased new to move it once to its new location. I started it the summer before last, and it was running fine, but most likely needs a tune-up. He named the boat after his late wife, Clara, who was his first love.

https://www.boats.com/reviews/raveau-restoration-a-classic-runabout-returns/ The above link is to a good article about the history of the Raveau. Also featured in the March/April 2011 edition of Wooden Boat magazine. A 1961 design built new in 1997 by one of the original builders (now retired). Originally a pure racer, these boats were built with spruce frames and 1/4" ply decks and topsides to save weight, and flat bottoms for optimal speed. The driver kneeled in the cockpit and moved his weight fore and aft to trim the boat. This version is built with mahogany frames, a 1/2" deck and an 18 gallon aluminum tank under the foredeck. Seating is provided in the front and rear cockpit and comfortably seats five adults. It also features a high tech V-hull design for a comfortable ride and excellent tracking and cornering. The 90 hp 2-stroke Yamaha is in like new condition and propels the boat at speeds up to 55 mph. Driving it is an absolute joy. This is a lightly used fresh water setup. The lightweight rig is easy to launch and retrieve; the only hold-up at the ramp is people wanting to talk to you about it. I am a professional woodworker and helped build the boat in 1997 and have owned it since. I'm moving to a smaller home and storage space will be tight.

Unrestored and incredibly rare, this 1926 26' Chris-Craft Triple Hull (#145) is a true piece of boating history. Powered by a Chris-Craft Hercules Model M engine (originally equipped with a Curtis OX-5), this boat has been dry-stored for over 75 years. Discovered in a cradle inside an old canning factory in Maywood, IL alongside an antique car collection, it’s a time capsule waiting for the right enthusiast. Whether you choose to fully restore it or preserve its patina as a stunning museum piece, this Triple offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of classic Americana.

Purchased in February 2018 on Bringatrailer.com as a 1961 fully functional boat in fresh water in Maine. Turned out to be a 1962 that had been improperly listed and improperly re upholstered. Brought it to Barry Ford in Trumansburg NY. He had restored our 1932 ChrisCraft previously. He stripped everything off and out of the hull, flipped it over and began the 3 year restoration. Replaced the ribs, the chine, the engine bunks, the transom and a no soak bottom went on. Replaced the engine with a sealed system PowerMarine 5.7 EFI and transmission. Reupholstered the entire boat from scratch based upon original photos and patterns drawn in the boat. (Not a kit) so between this, thw USB ports, the new engine, 3 inch exhausts and slight modification in the paint design it is a restomod. All chrome was replated as well. Between price of purchase and restoration I have spent more than 120k on the project. Really love it but love our Chris Craft more.

Fully restored perfect condition. Engine restored by Great Lakes Marine. With trailer, this boat is tweaked.

Same owner last 28 years. Certificate of Authenticity from the Century Boat Club and featured in their Thoroughbred magazine. The boat has been well maintained but not restored. It would need some work to be a user boat but would need restoration to be a showboat. The engine runs great and has a MercCruiser brass oil pan, Edelbrock marine 4-barrel carburetor, electronic ignition, and no-mess oil changing. The cover is custom made with a vent and can withstand feet of snow.

1946 Gar Wood Deluxe Runabout 19'-6" Model 606. Verified with The Gar Wood Society. Hull number 147 of 206. Original engine was swapped in the 90's for a steel shaft corvette block with marine conversion. Comes with dual axle trailer. The boat has been on Whitefish Lake Montana since the late 90's. The boat is in need of a refit as the last major work was done at Boat Works in Coeur D'alene in 2006. The 5200 bottom had a delamination last summer and unfortunately I'm not in a spot to fully renovate…2 kids under 3! Beautiful boat. Very rare Gar Wood. The last runabout prior to the model changing to Norman Bel Geddes Commodore.

The aft engine compartment allows for a more open seating arrangement, unobstructed by an engine box. This boat was kept in the same boat house on a lift, on a lake in Ontario, Canada from 1961 (new) until the fall of 2022. It had light use during those years. All wood is sound and the bottom was caulked and refinished in 2023. A new bilge pump with auto switch, a new water temperature gauge, and a new bilge blower were installed in 2023. The water pump was rebuilt in January 2025 by VanNess Engineering.

Lake Geneva boat, 2nd owner

Built in 1991 by a local CT River boatbuilder, Henry Thorpe, this Wittholz Downeaster 18 Runabout is a darling, responsive little boat perfect for calm bays or lakes. The boat has only had three owners (including North Cove Sailing Services (myself)). The boat was repowered in 2022 with a new 60-hp Yamaha, which only has 10 hours on it. There is also a new mooring cover as well as newly upholstered seats. In 2024 all of the brightwork was stipped and redone, as well as the interior bilge and bottom paint. All of the wiring was removed and replaced to ABYC standards, adding a separate toggle for manual or automatic bilge, separate switches for running and anchor lights, and a battery switch. Comes with a trailer.

Where do I start... I restored this boat with the help of a great boat builder in 2005 and we did a full in depth inspection on the bottom and we chose to keep it original, to this day it is in top shape, The only thing I would do is refinish the top varnish. seats are great and I would be surprised if there is another boat that runs and drives as well as this boat... this has a custom trailer that you drive on and go. Please ask any other questions you may have.

My late father Richard had purchased this boat in 1953. He was a boating enthusiast who taught boat safety and navigation along side my mother; owning several boats throughout the years. He had changed the boat from an outboard to in board and had re-chalked and painted it. I don't know why he garaged it and it has been garaged for over 57 or more years. He never did finish the project. The boats name is the TAG A LONG. There are many stories when it was in the water.

Completely Restore a Turn Key Boat Electronic Ignition All Original

From the fabled collection of Alan Furth, this mahogany beauty was built by Don Philbrick to serve as a Tahoe “daily driver” — a modern classic. Alan’s hand in the cockpit layout of Hoaloha II makes it unique among Philbrick boats. With two seats up front for the skipper and mate, there is an ample pass-through to a bench seat for those waiting for a turn at the wheel. A rear cockpit completes the layout. It is also the final of only two such designs built by Philbrick Boatworks. Boat is in Lake Tahoe.

We suggested adding Mahagony decking and doing the interior to match they asked if we could paint the hull to match their Maserati auto and upholster the interior to match. During the customization, we upgraded all the boats systems, adding Garmin nav-gps, Kahlenberg air horns, bluetooth stereo, Haylon fire system, Hydraulic hatch lifts, dual piston trim tabs, 4blade prop, ss stern swim ladder, bow thruster, and a custom mahogany ball top ss "geezer pole" to help older people getting in and out of the boat.

One of Century's most beautiful runabout designs, the 1948 Century Sea Maid is best known for its automobile styling cues and 2-tone blond and mahogany "torpedo" deck design. The steering wheel, dash, gauge cluster, and interior upholstery were all elements inspired by the Detroit automobile industry. Songbird was completely rebuilt by Snake Mountain Boat Works of Vermont in 2022 with a 5200 bottom with new frames, chines, bow stem and restoration and varnishing of the decks. That rebuild process was extensively documented in a series of videos available on YouTube. The stern was rebuilt and restored by Hall’s Boats of Lake George, NY in 2023. The boat includes a custom eagle trailer designed specifically for this boat. The chrome hardware, mahogany flag poles and canvas cover are all original and in excellent condition. A prior owner replaced the original engine, and it has a 1974 OMC 225hp V8 marine inboard engine that has well maintained including new seals to prevent oil leakage. The unique torpedo deck design on this boat attracts attention and Songbird won the Classic Runabout Class at the 2014 ACBS Adirondack Chapter Fulton Chain Boat show. Songbird has been used and enjoyed every year and is 100% turnkey condition. It needs nothing!! Beautiful Trailer goes with it!!

1955 21 ft. Chris Craft Cobra. This example of the 21 ft. Cobra is absolutely spectacular. Only fifty-five (55) 21 ft. Cobras were produced for that single production year. Fewer than fifteen (15) Cobras left the factory powered by their original 285 HP Cadillac Crusader Engine, the largest and most powerful engine offered by Chris Craft for the Cobra. The number of survivors is in the single digits. This boat was restored by one of the top Cobra restorers in the country. A recent Marine Survey describes this vessel as “Fully restored to a Bristol Condition”. She has been restored to be a show boat and is Judge ready.

We bought the boat in 2008 and have used it on the Upper Saranac Lake in New York...where it is stored at present in our covered boathouse.

Ot apparently was first purchased in Utica, NY on February 21, 1940 and we believe was primarily used on a lake in the Southern Adirondacks. In 2003 the boat received extensive repairs at Classic Restoration and Supply in Trappe, PA. The boat had a full strip and refinish and still looks very nice today. The hull number is 52417 BSO 5107.

This 1942 Chris Craft 19ft Custom Runabout replica was manufactured by Vintage Craft Boats, a shop well-known for its award-winning restorations, in 2010. The boat was handcrafted using original Chris Craft blueprints and is indistinguishable from original production boats. The "barrel back" is being sold by its second owner and has been used on Lake Minocqua in the Northwoods of Wisconsin for the past 10 years. The boat was originally built in a small shop in Pennsylvania and after being used as a show piece for Vintage Craft Boats and Classic Restoration and Supply, the boat was sold to its current owner in the Midwest. This Chris Craft replica has a modern, trouble-free engine and beautifully maintained upholstery. The pictures do not do this boat justice as it is as flawless as the day it was built. The sale includes an aluminum, tandem-axle trailer and full custom cover.

purchased on Bring a Trailer, 02/2108. actually a'62 not a '61. Took it to Barry Ford in Trumansburg NY. Stripped to the ribs and rebuilt. Have photos of the entire process. 5200 bottom, new keel, repowered, gauges rebuilt, all chrome redone, reupholstered in original pattern but not a kit, all vinyl surfaces redone. I always thought I wanted one of these, we already have a 1932 21 ft Chris Craft triple and I thought this would take its place and be better since it has a roof. My wife informed me that she likes the Chris Craft better so this one goes. It needs nothing other than to be enjoyed.

Beautiful rare boat, older restoration. Fantastic Fireball engine (two updraft carburetors). All hardware was re-chromed (100% original ). No-soak 5200 bottom. Beautiful clinch nail construction.

“We Three” has been a fixture on Long Lake in the Adirondacks since she was delivered to the original owner, WA Raney in April 1946. After the passing of Mr. Raney, his daughter sold the Gar Wood to Dr. and Mrs. Shelly in April 1996 and she remains on Long Lake to this day. She won numerous boat shows from South Carolina and North Carolina. The Clayton Boat show, is where she won Best preserved, Best Gar Wood and a few “Best of show”. This Gar Wood is about as original as any boat one can find other than some of the upholstery which was really beginning to show some wear. All the wood on her, including her bottom, is original. One might wonder when looking at her due to the lighter “sapwood” which is found on her forward port side, but that is exactly how she came from the factory. She was built to go to the 1946 New York Boat Show, but that show, due to the war, never became a reality and she was then taken to Hearn’s Dept. Store as a boat to use for sales. She was the only Gar Wood of her kind built and primarily for that show. Mr. Ranney had taken his daughter to Hearns to purchase clothing and saw this particular boat, inquired about purchasing one like it and was told “he should consider purchasing this boat due to rumors that the company would or might be closing in the near future. He purchased her on the spot. Mr. Raney purchased the boat right off the floor from the Dept. Store in January of 1946.
