21ft. Feet 1955 Chris-Craft

Excellant condition, nice trailer, full canvas, rebuilt engine

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!    If you have any questions call 949-230-3628, Steve. The boat is located in Costa Mesa, Southern California.

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.
