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.

20 Feet 1949 Chris-Craft Custom Runabout

The Chris_Craft 20ft Custom Runabout succeeded the pre-war 19ft Custom Runabout or Barrel Back. Only 369 hulls were produced between 1946 and 1949. This is hull number 334, was built in the final year. It was among the first post-war runabouts to showcase the distinctive blond decking. During their heyday, these boats were known for their luxuriousness, featuring genuine leather upholstery and a sturdy 4-piece folding windshield. The current owner acquired this boat in 2010 and began restoration work in 2011. A new upholstery was installed, while the bottom, although in good condition, underwent sanding, tightening of fasteners, recaulking of seams, and a fresh coat of bottom paint. The boat's bottom swells tightly. Additionally, a new chine plank was added on the starboard side. The topside finish was stripped and meticulously redone with 12 coats of varnish. The bilge was thoroughly cleaned and repainted. The correct Iva Lite spotlight was installed, and all chrome accents were re-chromed, buffed, and reinstalled. All the original factory hardware, including the fold-down windshield, is included with the boat. In 2006, the engine was replaced with a small block 350 V8. The fuel tank and lines were also replaced at that time. In the spring of 2021, routine maintenance was performed, including rebuilding the carburetor, installing a new water pump impeller, fitting new spark plugs, and replacing the throttle cable. In the spring of 2023, the bottom was repainted. The boat comes complete with a custom cover and a custom tandem axle trailer. Due to their rarity, few of these boats remain in existence. With its ideal 20-foot size, the 20' Custom Runabout is a perfect runabout, and this one is ready to be enjoyed!

17 Feet 1950 Chris Craft Special Runabout

This boat "Putt Putt"was purchased by me in 1990 and went through an extensive restoration at that time that included a complete new West System Epoxy encapsulated marine plywood bottom to make it lighter and non-soak so it could be trailered easily. The engine was completely rebuilt with new crankshaft, pistons, gaskets, seals, etc and modernized with the addition of a 12 volt electrical system, oil filter, oil pressure safety switch, electric fuel pump. The chrome which is complete was re-chromed professionally the same year. In addition a center mount auto bilge pump was installed. New upholstery and complete new varnish in 2021. Awesome little boat!! We used this boat approx 2-3 weeks a year until about 1995 and then was used very little for the next 26 years but was kept in our garage under cover. In 2021 my daughter wanted to use it as part of her wedding so the varnish was redone (14 coats) and the upholstery was redone and I pulled it 1100 miles to Maine for the 3 weeks we were there. It ran perfectly and is now back in our garage in NC. My estimate is that it has probably has less than 200 hours use since the 1990 restoration. It is a beautiful very functional craft that is great for family activities with the open back which makes it a great watersport boat for skiing, tubing, etc. Carries up to 5 people and I love skiing behind it. The boat came from Lake Lanier in SC originally and I used the boat on Lake Keowee in SC mostly and spent several weeks on Lake Webb in Maine 2 different times. It has always been trailered since I owned it. This boat needs nothing currently except for love and care and routine maintenance. Thank you.
