1941 ANTIQUE WOOD 16' CHRIS CRAFT DELUXE RUNABOUT

Description

UP FOR YOU CONSIDERATION IS MY 1941 CHRIS CRAFT DELUXE RUNABOUT, MODEL 101.IT WOULD BE TOUGH TO FIND ONE ON EBAY OR ANYWHERE ELSE IN THIS CONDITION. I'VE OWNED THE BOAT SINCE 2002, AND EVERY SUMMER IT SPENDS IT'S TIME IN A COVERED HOIST, THEREBY AVOIDING DIRECT SUNLIGHT. IT IS ALWAYS STORED IN THE WINTER IN A BARN WITH A DIRT FLOOR TO PREVENT THE WOOD FROM DRYING OUT. ALWAYS OPERATED IN FRESH WATER ON THE FINGER LAKES (WAS DELIVERED TO CANANDAIGUA LAKE IN OCT, 1940 AND HAS BEEN ON KEUKA LAKE SINCE I BOUGHT IT IN 2002) HAS ALWAYS BEEN MAINTAINED TO THE "NTH" DEGREE, INCLUDING PLUGS, WIRES, ANNUAL OIL CHANGE AND A NEW BATTERY THIS SUMMER. USED BUNK TRAILER IS INCLUDED WITH NEW RIMS, TIRES AND BEARINGS THIS YEAR (WILL NEED TO BE REGISTERED BY THE NEW OWNER). WHERE WOULD YOU FIND A CLASSIC BOAT LIKE THIS ONE ANYWHERE IN THE COUNTRY SINCE ONLY 372 WERE MANUFACTURED IN ALGONIC, MICHIGAN. THIS BOAT IS A REAL HEAD TURNER, AND A GREAT BOAT FOR COMPETITIONS, SINCE IT'S ALL ORIGINAL WITH A SIX VOLT SYSTEM AND THE ORIGINAL 60 HP CHRIS CRAFT ENGINE, WHILE MANY HAVE BEEN CONVERTED TO A 12 VOLT SYSTEM.
