30' Feet 1998 Hand Built

My choice of construction was to be 4 layers all laminated in a unique manner that no other builder has done. Frames were laminated in a jig to the bullet shape 1 piece, no seams or joints. The first layer of planking was 5/16ths x 3/4 - 2" shiplapped. After fairing it received 2 diagonal layers of 1/16th x 4" Douglas Fur veneer that was laid heavily in liquid glue and stapled in place. A total of 35 gallons of glue was used in the laminating process. After fairing the third layer of veneer the outer layer of Honduras Mahogany canoe shaped concave convey was laid heavy in glue and stapled in a pre determined pattern. This out layer of Mahogany was 5/16 x 13/16 planking placed end to end would total 1.8 miles! The first layer of planking on the bottom was 13/16 x 1 1/2" with two layers of 1/16 Diagonal Fir and 1 layer of Mahogany producing a 1 piece laminated bottom 1 1/4 thick! The sanding was done with a 5' long flexible fairing board. Then finished with Chris Craft Mahogany Filler Stain and now up to 28 hand rubbed coats of varnish. Always kept inside custom floating garage with internal lift. I have done all maintenance myself and have been the only operator. Inspiration for the cockpit shape came from a 1947 Chris Craft that I once owned. The back seat accommodates a 80 gallon L shaped fuel tank. Engine was purchased with a 1.5 to 1 Borg Warner Velvet Drive Trans and out a Cupped Nibral 16x24 Prop. Quick to plane and cruise @ 1700 RPM - Tops 4500 RPM over 40 MPH. Compression check on motor was perfect (165/175) New manifolds, risers, hoses and elbows were just recently added. Boat took a year and a half to build, it was launched in June of 1998. A bow thruster and second battery were added in 2012! The double axel trailer was purchased in September of 2023. All serious interested buyers please contact through phone number and I can put in touch with Sam the owner!

20 ft. Feet 1959 Riva

Cruise in style on this classic 1959 Riva Super Florida, Lolo, hull number 360 of 711 made. Lolo is a beauty, turning heads at every port of call. Riva founder, Carlo Riva aimed to create a “legendary emblem of luxury and nautical refinement, by manufacturing magnificently crafted leisure boats,” such as the Super Florida. Roger Vadim gifted the Riva Super Florida, Nounours to his then wife, Brigitte Bardot in 1959. Other Riva owners included Sean Connery, Richard Burton, Hugh Hefner, Roger Vadim, Anita Ekberg, Jean Paul Belmondo, Ferruccio Lamborghini, and Gianni Agnelli. Get behind Lolo’s helm, and you’ll understand why the rich and famous chose to ride in style on a Riva. Lolo is one of the few Riva Super Florida’s in the United States. Stuart King, from Annapolis, Maryland, found Lolo in 1990, annd restored her in 1990 – 1992, refinished her in 2003 when she was sanded to the wood and varnished, fitted with new upholstery, and had West System applied on the hull from the waterline to the keel. We keep Lolo in a closed garage during the winter months where she undergoes preventative maintenance. For the rest of the year, we keep her on a covered boat lift out of the water and sun after occasional cruises to waterfront dining and waterskiing on the tributaries of the Chesapeake Bay. After cruising, we rinse, and hand dry her. In 2024, we installed a new 12-volt stereo with USB, a new horn, and checked beneath the bow plate and screws on the rub rails and other parts of the hull. In 2023, we re-bedded the prop shaft strut, aligned the engine with new engine mounts, installed a new cutlass bearing as well as a new neutral safety switch, and hand-painted her custom trailer. In 2022, we varnished her again and installed a new bilge pump, raw water pump and battery. In 2021, we restored her wiring to original harness as much as possible. We had a Crate GM 350 engine installed in 2015 which has run approximately 600 hours since then. Lolo is equipped with a fluxgate compass, docking lines, anchor, depth sounder, life vests, and authentic Riva running lights, flagpole, ski pole, instruments, deck boards and cleats. She’s in turn-key condition, ready for you come aboard and have fun water skiing or enjoying the sunset out on the water.

19 Feet 1945 Gar Wood Commander

“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.

26 Feet 1956 Chris-Craft Continental

"Twin Spin" is hull #3 out of the 48 26-foot Continentals made by Chris-Craft in 1956 and only 82 of these big utilities ever made by Chris-Craft between 1956 and 1959. "Twin Spin" was originally called "Allegro" by its initial purchaser, Dr. Clayton Stubbs; who was one of the wealthiest residents in Mount Clemens, Michigan, and could afford to purchase one of the first three Chris-Craft Continentals made with many special order items from the factory. The price he paid in 1955 was around $9,000, which equates to the price of an average house, or four new Chevrolet Bel Airs at that time. The boat is mostly original as per the original hull card. Some of the special order items from the factory which make this boat a standout are its full length instrument panel from port to starboard, with glove compartment and door, throttles together on port side of the steering wheel, hatch in the forward deck, amongst a number of other special order items as per the original equipment record from Chris-Craft. They are all are still on the boat today. "Twin Spin" was completely restored in Holland, Michigan around 2006, where the bottom was encased with a West Bottom system along with all the other bright work, engines, etc., being brought up to show standard. The work was commissioned and finished by Grand Craft in Holland, Michigan, one of the leading boat builders of mahogany boats in the USA with a reputation second to none. Since that time the boat has done less than 200 hours and has been kept and cared for as part of my collection. Making this boat even rarer and more sought after are its powerful twin MCL 175hp engines, which make cruising at 30 knots a breeze and achieving 40+ knots with ease as the engines purr in synchronization. The twin engines make docking and maneuvering easy in tight spots - along with making the skipper look like a true professional! "Twin Spin" makes Riva owners envious and is now looking for a new home and custodian to take it into the future.

26 Feet 1936 Custom Commuter

1936 26’ Custom Commuter found in a boat house on a canal between Ashland St and Gray Haven Island in Detroit bordering Gross Pointe. It was across the canal from DYC Commodore Gar Wood’s mansion. Both properties are across the Detroit River from the Detroit Yacht Club on Belle Isle. Plenty of boating history in this location. We have the Coast Guard Hull card and the builder’s Coast Guard picture ID. The hull was laid in 1936. Gar Wood made a 1936 26’ Hull in 1935-1936. The hull is very similar to a Gar Wood Hull but the definitive plans were lost. All the bottom, sides and roof structure are original wood including the original the beautiful transom. It is all old growth mahogany. It swells perfectly in 24 hours yearly. The motor is original to the boat and the flat head 8 cylinder runs and powers the boat through the water perfectly. All the inside mahogany is new, the upholstery is new, the cabin top and Headliner is new, all the trim is custom stainless and period fittings are re chromed. 2 new automatic bilge pumps and blower are new for safety. Depth finder and inverter have also been added. All the dash gauges and switches are new and the shifter for the drive is attached to a Velvet Drive for smooth linkage fee operation. A hidden depth finder, stereo and power inverter were added for convenience and enjoyment. The canopy is new sunbrella. This is a one off boat and totally custom. The history of finding the boat and launching it are must reads from articles in the Brass Bell. They will detail the story completely. Under my ownership the boat was always in the water in a covered boathouse on Torch Lake , Michigan and stored on the custom bunk trailer fabricated for maximum hull support in the winters in a new insulated Pole Barn with no supplemental heat. It has been stripped of hardware and varnished every 3 years and professionally winterized with spring service on tune up, fluids and water test trial each year. I own multiple collectible rare boats and this one is the show stopper. Contact with the experienced restorer is available.

29.5 Feet 1928 Hacker Craft Company Dolphin Deluxe

1928 29' 6" HACKER CRAFT CO Dolphin Deluxe.There are runabouts, and there are Hackers. No other wooden boat builders have enjoyed over a century of acclaim and accomplishment, as have the American craftsmen at Hacker Boat Company. For generations, Hacker Craft mahogany runabouts have ruled the waterways from Lake Tahoe to Long Island Sound. GAD-A-BOUT is an immaculate, triple-cockpit representation of the gilded era of wooden boats, when massive gas engines were squeezed into luxurious speedboats to thrill the elite - royalty, titans of industry, and Hollywood celebrities - with speed and exhilaration. The sleek mahogany speedsters were introduced into a world of recreational boating that up and to then had been a staid, slow-paced world of rowing boats, steam-powered launches, and spartan sailing craft. Boating was never to be the same. With the gleaming, varnished mahogany, the nickel chrome hardware, and the plush, multiple seating areas these double and triple cockpit runabouts transformed the pleasure boating market, and numerous builders sprung up to sate the nation's quest for speed and performance. Renowned names like Dodge, Chris Craft, Gar Wood began building runabouts, often as a result of speedboat racing success, but none ever reached the pinnacle of craftsmanship and perfection that John Hacker did. To possess a luxury item from a storied era nearly a century ago, in this high level of condition, is a rare opportunity. Stutz Bearcat motorcars, Piaget watches, Erte paintings, Frank Lloyd Wright homes, Hacker runabouts - all conjure up memories and images of the best artisans a time period, long-passed, had to offer. One does not merely possess such priceless artifacts, one serves in stewardship for the next generation to treasure and enjoy. GAD-A-BOUT is turn-key, and ready to cut a wake and turn heads wherever her next dock and waterway await her.
