Very nice. Like I said before, sometimes I wish I was born 25 to 30 years sooner! Truly a golden age.
The only Chris Craft 23 Barrel triple cockpit with twin engines was delivered there in 1940. Now resides here on Indian Lake.
Was at Grand Lake last fall. Water was way low.
I wonder how many of the 190 Continentals built between 1957 and 1959 were delivered with that hard top?
I think it was Travis Hickman (might have been someone else in Tennessee at a Dixieland Chapter show) had a 21′ Continental Hardtop years ago- same color, beautiful boat – love that hardtop
I pulled this image from one of the listings. I might have to buy the movie just to see what happened next!
Very cool! Hope whoever buys these, will convert them to a format that will facilitate sharing them, here in WoodyBoaterville.
I agree Kelly. They would be fun to watch.
Spent Labor Day weekend in Winter Park and went out on Lake Granby and Grand Lake. Beautiful area. Water was down a bit but nothing like out here in California.
Yes I know I know it’s a pontoon. We would have loved to rent one of the boats from the old fleet but they weren’t around anymore.
Love these, thx!
When I look at how these guys maneuvered the boats, out of railway car, on to/ into trucks not designed for the task, I have to admire that generation, to have the Enginuity, and common sense to make it all happen.
Alot of those trucks lifting machinery look hand made.
My thoughts exactly!!
Would LOVE to have a movie of that process.
There is a picture somewhere that was taken I believe at Lake Winnipesaukee were they had run the r.r. tracks into the water and would back the boxcars in float the boat crank it up and back it out. Might be in one of the Speltz books.
That marina where Little Jewel is docked is still there. They have a coffee shop on the street side and rent boats on the lake side. Really neat place and there are tidbits of Chris Craft still around the property.
