16 Feet 1966 Chris-Craft

I purchased this ski boat and trailer in 2023 and embarked on getting the boat professionally restored. All necessary wood repairs have been completed and a new custom aluminum gas tank has been added. Some sanding and paint is still needed and the mechanical parts and hardware will need to be reinstalled. The engine is a 283 V8 with 185HP that runs like a charm. The boat and trailer have transferable registration in Vermont that is active until May, 2026."I purchased this ski boat and trailer in 2023 and embarked on getting the boat professionally restored.

The boat and trailer have transferable registration in Vermont that is active until May, 2026. I plan on moving abroad in 1-2 years and decided it would be best for someone else to bring the project to the finish line and get the boat back in the water. Over 100 photos and several videos from the work done to date are available upon request. It has been stored indoors since the restoration began and it comes with a single axle trailer and canvas cover." Work done to date: - Engine tested and winterized. - Completely degreased and cleaned the bilge, removed the carpet and cleaned all the residual glue from the interior hullsides. - Boat deconstructed, paint stripped. - Hull repaired, hull exterior primed and painted. - Hull interior disassembled & interior hullsides primed and the first two coats of white paint applied. - Finished repairing, priming and painting the bottom. - Finished repairing the hullsides structurally, and have primed the entire hullsides and then applied the first three of an eventual 8-10 coats of two-part royal blue paint. Additional paint for completion is included. - New decks and king planks added, and these surfaces are about halfway through the final sanding and shaping before all are primed and painted. - Custom Rayco gas tank purchased for $1,365. - Trailer has been repaired and new tires were added in 2024. - Details on all materials used as well as additional paint and primer that is included are available upon request. Work that is left to do: - Paint Topsides: Sand, fair, and prime as needed. Apply two final coats paint. - Paint Waterline and Shear: sand, clean, tape, and seal as needed.

16 ft Feet 1956 Mercury

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!    The boat is located in Costa Mesa, Southern California.

14 ft Feet 1954 Winner

Found in upstate New York in the fall of 2011. I intended to restore and put it in the water during my years in the Navy stationed in Hawaii - but never materialized. I eventually had it partially restored to the state you see in the photos in 2016 by Wilco Marine in Newburyport, Massachusetts. He rebuilt the transom, sanded old coatings off, repaired weak spots, applied new gel coat (original color), and added new "Winner" vinyl logos where the original model had them. In 2021 I made a new front bench seat as seen in the photos out of padauk wood, an African hardwood that holds up very well in water (like teak). The boat has no trailer, but has a shipping cradle as seen in the photos. All the pieces and parts to continue the restoration are there - steering wheel, Johnson shifter, steering linkage pulleys and cables, and the entire rat's nest of electrical cabling (you probably don't want to reuse it, but it's included as an aid to reconstructing it). The wiring diagram is even intact! Will include supports for the sunbrella cover (supports seen in the photos - blue; cover not pictured - red), which is also included. The original (to my knowledge) gas can is included; does not leak when I last had gasoline in it. The engine that was installed was a 35hp Johnson Sea Horse, in the "art deco" style. Shiny deep red and cream colored, I suspect you'd want a full overhaul and rebuild. I have never put this in the water in my years of owning it. I started the engine once in 2011 but it's been sitting ever since.

33 Feet 1958 Arco ,crysrilline

Restored with lots of modern equipment

22 Feet 1951 Chris Craft

According to it’s hull card, Chris-Craft built this boat in January of 1951. It was equipped with a ML 145hp motor. It was shipped to Bryant’s Marina in Seattle, Washington that year. The original owner was Henry Issacson, a local industrialist that owned the largest iron works in the Pacific Northwest at the time. It changed hands at least once in subsequent years as a friend of mine purchased it from someone other than the Issacson family in 1976. At some point during this prior period of ownership, the boat was repowered with a175hp MCL engine. My friend owned the boat until 2001 when I purchased it from him. The boat has been stored inside since that time. At the time I purchased the boat, the engine had been experiencing a loss of power. In the mid 2000’s I removed the engine for overhaul. A magnaflux of the block confirmed cracks that were non-repairable. The block was disposed of, but all the engine’s peripherals were retained if a new block were to be sourced. Alternatively, this boat would be a good candidate for V8 swap. The bottom is original and will likely need replacement, and the sides and deck will require stripping and refinishing. I am not aware of any rot in the boat but I have not conducted a comprehensive examination. The upholstery is in excellent condition. All the hardware is present. The only reason I am selling the boat is that I have another classic boat that I have decided to focus my time and resources on.

14 Feet 1956 Yellow Jacket Capri Deluxe

This boat was my father's gift to himself after he graduated from Notre Dame. We used to take this boat to New Hampshire every year until we moved to CO in 1972. Since then it has only been in the water a handful of times and the last time was in 1988. 1956 Mahogany panel boat and 1956 Mastercraft trailer. This boat has always been garaged. It has not been in the water or towed since 1988. This boat will need a full refinish/restore before being sea worthy. Yellow Jacket boats were crafted in Dennison, TX. The motor is a 1956 Mercury 55 (40 hp). It has also not been started since 1988. My father and I last had this boat in the water and it ran beautifully at that time, although there was a slight leak in the transom. Be the next owner of this beautiful collector boat. You will need to flatbed this boat and trailer, The trailer has not had maintenance since 1988 and I would imagine the wheel bearings will need to be cleaned and repacked. The rubber on the tires is at least 35 years old. I have the original sale paperwork from when my father bought the boat new.

15 Feet 1959 Custom Pacific Surfrider

1959 Antique Boat with Fins and Brake Lights! - $8,990 (Portland) Classic Antique Wooden 1959 Pacific Surfrider with red fins like an old Sunbeam with functioning LED brake lights (they are always on). A true rare find, this boat receives “nice boat! & thumbs ups!” all day long (and usually a comment such as: “My Dad had a …..”). She was made in Salem Oregon in 1959 and spent her life in a garage in and on Detroit Lake. The bottom was just completely restored last year. She has a near new 2018 40 HP Suzuki motor (w/ auto trim from throttle) with very few (verifiable) hours on it. She was out of the water for nearly the last two years for restoration. I am verifiably the third owner as I have the sales receipts (framed) for the two sales. It comes with the original trailer, steering wheel and a new depth finder (and much more). The upholstery was just redone, a custom-made maroon canvas cover that covers the fins to a tee and keeps 100% of the water out when covered. and the bottom is painted red like a pair of Louboutin Shoes. She got a new plywood bottom using west system epoxy along with fiberglass. This is a no soak boat that doesn't leak a drop. Along with the new bottom, bottom paint, side paint and 4 additional coats of varnish on the bright work, she has a new outer keel, new outer stem, and most of the inner stem was also replaced. All the new wood has been coated in Smith's penetrating epoxy and then coated with a minimum of 3 coats of varnish over the top. The transom has been beefed up to carry the weight of the engine. Also, the engine was totally gone through and serviced this last spring. Serious inquiries only (and request drone action videos). $8,990.00 (the new motor and the restoration cost me more than that!). You may have just found a new friend… She is fun…
