Description
Very rare early 1941 ,with bear claw vents. Just completed after 3 year full restoration. Fully documented and done to highest standards. New or rebuilt every last detail, down to the correct staples. This boat was never intended to be sold, it was to be my personal boat. I just got carried away, and now need to face reality. The boat deserves the best, and got it. All the correct suppliers were used. Graves plating, Rhode Island Wiring, etc.. New 5200 new bottom and frames. Re fastened orig sides, dutchman and all to keep some of her history. Rebuilt gages, 12 coats varnish. New covering boards and decks to correct 1/32 groove. Not ONE, phillips head screw in the entire boat, and there are thousands of them... Money was no object. Doing it correct was. Boat restoration featured on WoodyBoater.com as owners boat. She has been in the water once for a test. Leather Interior by Rod Souza still being done. That's how fresh this boat is. Advice from Don Ayers, and the Chris Craft Club. If you are looking for this years newest restoration done,this is it. Still needs tiny details correct screw size in chrome that sort of thing to be a Tahoe winner. Shown at Mt Dora NOT JUDGED, and signed by Chris Smith on dash. I am also open to interesting trades of lesser value with cash. So this may be a great opportunity to trade up. I am very interested in a 46-49 20 foot Chris Craft Custom.
