A rare opportunity to own an exceptional classic wooden boat designed by renowned naval architect Doug Van Patten and expertly built by Hugh Saint Inc., one of Florida's premier wooden boat builders. Manufactured in 1989 using the advanced WEST System construction method, this 27-foot Sheerline combines timeless craftsmanship with superior durability, performance, and beauty. This vessel has been meticulously cared for since new, spending its entire life stored and protected in a private boathouse. Professionally maintained throughout ownership, it remains in truly outstanding condition. Stored indoors in a private boathouse since new and never left exposed to the elements for extended periods, this Sheerline has benefited from an exceptional level of preservation rarely found in a vessel of its age. With fewer than 400 original hours of use, the boat presents beautifully and reflects the pride of ownership it has received over the past three decades.

This boat is owner-constructed and was completed in 2024 after five years of careful and meticulous work. The boat is a Glen L Marine design and all materials and mechanical components comply with the recommendations of the designer. The length and beam of the boat are 19 feet and five and a half feet respectively. The boat has been used sparingly over the past two years because of drought related water conditions in Colorado. To date, it has slightly less than 20 hours on the motor. Construction: The construction method is “cold molding” using marine grade mahogany plywood over fir frames, keel and motor stringers. The bottom comprises four layers of ?” plywood embedded in epoxy. The bottom is also fiber glassed and painted. The sides and deck are two layers of plywood embedded in epoxy with 5/32” solid mahogany veneer planks. Sides and deck are also fiber-glassed. Splash rails and rub rails are laminated mahogany formed to the contours of the hull and deck. The fiberglassing of the deck, sides and transom allow the full color and grain of the mahogany to show completely. The stem and bow area are protected by multiple layers of fiberglass for added protection. These surfaces are painted. Other Features: To enhance the simplicity of maintenance, several nonstandard improvements were implemented. The interior of the cockpit can be quickly disassembled to access wiring, cables and the inner hull. The beam between the dual cockpits can also be removed quickly to move freely around the inside of the boat, for example, while cleaning or fishing. There is a small hatch behind the engine bay to access the rudder assembly and drain plugs. There is also a removable false beam forward of the engine bay to allow access to the front of the engine for maintenance purposes. Mechanical and Electrical: The boat is powered by a new Mercruiser 3.0 liter motor and a ZF45A transmission. The motor is rated at 135 horsepower. The motor and transmission were purchased in 2019 and installed in 2020. The boat was not completed until 2023 and launched in 2024. The throttle and transmission controller is also a Mercruiser component. The fuel tank holds 26 gallons of gasoline. All gauges and wiring harnesses are new and were provided by the supplier of the motor and transmission. All Coast Guard required equipment has been installed; eg, bilge pump, engine bay exhaust fan, navigation lights, fire extinquisher, etc.

My late husband and I bought Miss Behavin on 2008 from Antique Boats of America. Miss Behavin had gone through a restoration, and we continued by reupholstering the interior, adding a sterio and West Systeming the bottom for strength. Miss Behavin was built in 1966 and I was born in 1966. She is a survivor, cared for and ready for the next person to love her some more. There are no leaks or cracks in the hull, she is solid and sound, glides across the lake making all the right sounds an inboard engine should. CLAYTON SHOWROOM!

My husband's dream was a family, friendly, classic Chris-Craft. Trouble free and dependable. Sadly he passed before finishing it. My dear friend finished my husband's dream in 2018 for my daughter (Courntey Ann). The boat was water tested with no problems.

It has been kept indoors exclusively since 2020.

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.

Being fast and powerful, this is the quintessential ski boat of the 50's/60's, and the same models were used at the Cypress Gardens ski shows.

This classic 1954 Chris-Craft 17' Sportsman offers timeless style and craftsmanship. Reported to have undergone a full restoration prior to 2010, the boat has since been carefully maintained by its current owner. Since purchase in 2010, it has been stored indoors when not in use and serviced annually by a professional mechanic each spring and fall. In 2022, the hull sides, deck, and transom received fresh varnish, and as the photos show, the boat remains in great condition. Currently in storage.

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.

Comes with original trailer, freshly painted and new tires.

Ran and drove fine 20 years ago and has been garage-kept since then...with no attempts to start it since then. Paint on the outside still has good sheen/film build with an area a few square inches on the upper surface (gunwale?) where adhesion has failed and another scratch about 8" which might buff out. Interior paint is intact in most places, worn in others with surface rust in 2 or 3 spots. New tires with lifetime service warranty purchased a few weeks ago (visible in one picture; most pictures feature the older tires). My lack of knowledge is evident and most of my experience with this boat is second-hand (other than hauling it across town and putting the new tires on it).

As a 21-year-old looking to do something different, I purchased this boat neglected and left out in the dry Arizona sun. Over the summer of 2025, I personally and fully restored the 60-year-old boat. In all honesty, this was a lot of work! I had to learn all the new methods and techniques for a clean, professional restoration. I spent day after day, working out of Prescott Valley at a friend's house, and fully restored this beauty to amazing condition. Alongside my friend, I stripped all the old paint off of the hull, bringing it down to the primer/fiberglass layer, rebuilding the paint scheme in a classic navy-blue on white look, priming the hull and topside with marine primer system then marine paint for the hull and topside. As a young man, I have no personal use for a boat, but wanted the challenge of taking something forgotten and breathing new life into it. I rebuilt the carburetors, fuel pump, control unit, re-ran wiring, and essentially everything else. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full unabated description ---------------------------------------------------------------- I Restoration Details This Polaris II has been stripped to bare primed fiberglass and restored to a beautiful condition, preserving its unique wood-like aesthetic: Hull: Stripped of original chipped brown/maroon paint to bare fiberglass, treated with TotalProtect marine primer system, and coated with Rust-Oleum topside paint (white hull, navy blue topside) to enhance its wood-mimicking design.

It is in the water now and ready for a Sea trial. It should need no more than fresh bottom paint and a coat or two a varnish for next season. The seller is only reluctantlyselling this boat that they love very much because of their plans for the next couple of summers to be unavailable for boating.

Delivered to George & Bliss in Lake Placid for touring in 1929 as a Sedanm 12 our Chris Craft has had a nice history. Circa early 30s the hardtop was removed and a windshield installed, probably to mimic the popular 22 cadets which were gaining popularity at the time. She was sold to a doctor in the early 40's who had a camp on Bull Island next door to Kate Smith (God Bless America). It was told that before Kate became an avid boater herself she caught rides to her camp in our Chris Craft which at the time was named "Big Toot". Due to a fire at the main house on Bull Island "Big Toot" spent many years inside a boat house until being sold to a very kind Long Island NY Doctor in 1977, I was 15. My stepfather restored the boat, renamed "Snark", and I would become the boats sole caretaker and eventual owner to date. We have taken care of Snark, maintaining her originality as best as possible very the past many years. We have replaced several bottom planks (she is double hulled) In 1989 I rebuilt the entire topsides, in 2000 I replaced the hull from the chine up. Since I have been maintaining her finish and engine. The Snark sits on her trailer presently and is in very good shape. She is not a polished show girl but she is show worthy and very nice with very comfy upholstery which is period accurate. I have the original engine which has been rebabbited and can be reassembled, I also have a 2nd engine or the same year. Currently there is a 1978 470 mercruiser engine in the boat which runs decently but is itself pretty old. Snark is a beauty as is, or if you are a fanatic a perfect candidate to be cherries out and shown. She was the coolest boat I ever saw as a 15 year old in 1977 and she still is even now at my age of 63.

1958 Crestliner Jetstreak "12" has been in the family since my dad bought it in '58. The original Johnson motor he had on it has been replaced by the 1996 Mercury 25 H.P. engine, the throttle controls were replaced, and Dad had the boat repainted in the 90's, so is no longer the original turquois green. Used it on the lake we lived at in Wisconsin for most of it's existence, but not used much after he had it repainted and bought the new engine. Missing windshield prior to the repainting, and Dad decided not to replace it. Broken white lens on the right fin turn signal. Other than that, is in great shape, and ran well the last time we took it out in 2013. Been in dry garage storage since then due to health and lack of time; was planning to start using it this year after I retired, but, unfortunately, am now moving out of country and can't take it with me.

This 28 ft. MorinCraft was built in 1923 on Greenwood Lake, NJ by the Morin Brothers. They were also dealers for HackerCraft boats. They built their boats similar to or exactly like the HackerCraft designs. Babe Ruth purchased 2 of these MorinCrafts in the late 1920's. This boat has been completely refurbished, to include a West System bottom, new oak keelson and sister ribs, CG approved aluminum fuel tank, rebuilt Stewart-Warner (digital) guages, paired up with the new Mercrusier Mag 350, with 1:2 gear reduction. This is a go-boat and a show-boat.

She's always been a Lake George boat, renovated in 2012 by Adirondack Classics, Michael Huck. I learned to drive on my grandfather's 1930's Chris Craft, and when I bought his house I wanted this boat for the boathouse. She's a beauty and runs like a dream. She has several unique dashboard elements and that chrome stick shift. Now it's time for someone else to love and enjoy her.

A classic piece of nostalgia! Chris-Crafts were owned by such celebrities as Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, and Dean Martin. This boat has no modifications done to it other than adding all new French white upholstery with gold trim. It has a clean title and registration as well as tags. The varnish is all new and the boat has been kept winterized behind closed doors waiting to be ridden once again. It includes a custom trailer as well. There has only been one other owner and that was a master Ford mechanic who babied and fully rebuilt the motor back to factory specs. There are no boating hours on this motor. The motor has 283 cubic inch displacement and produces 185 horsepower. A simple and reliable design that some would say is very easy to maintain and work on. This classic ski boat comes with a rope tow post in the center of the boat for 180 degree action for the sportsman. This masterfully crafted piece of nostalgia would add a touch of class to anyone's dock. Boat is Fredericksburg, VA

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.

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!

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.

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.

18’ Glen L Gentry, built in 2005, only 70 hours Excellent condition

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.

Boat is in perfect shape and ready to be enjoyed. Located at Lake Burton in Georgia. This is one of only 3 prewar triple cockpit 21' Hackers known to exist.

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.

I was able to get the build slip from Old Town Boat Co. after some extensive search on their part . Boat has no rot , in overall good condition. Needs some finishing touches to bring it back to life .

Purchased at the Antique Boat Show Auction, Clayton, NY, this is a 1998 rebuild of the 1937 John Hacker designed 19ft 2in double cockpit runabout. It is a cold-molded build with 2 layers of 3/8-in plywood hull with 1/2-in mahogany finish. Engine has new manifolds and leads. Boat is in excellent condition.

The boat is in excellent shape with an original "soak" bottom. The interior is in excellent shape that can be judged by the pictures. It was in the Hessel boat show 3 years ago and in the 2024 Gull Lake show at Fletchers in Minnesota. It is stored in a heated garage when not used. It probably has around 10 hours on the motor since a complete overhaul here in Cincinnati. It has lots of power and sounds fantastic. I have many pictures if requested. I am selling it because it spends too much time in storage with very little use.

1948 red and white Chris craft racer for sale. Very good shape ready to go. Oh, it for 15 years easy loader, red tandem trailer.

Boat was purchased 1977. Was used 4 years off and on. Then in storage till 2024. Then restored in 2024. The engine comes with many spare parts. (See picture )

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.
