A 1938 Chris-Craft Custom Deluxe Runabout, 17 feet with a 6-foot beam, this wooden-hulled classic features a double cockpit forward design and is powered by a Gray Marine gasoline engine.

The boat has had significant structural and mechanical work completed over the years. The full bottom was replaced by Danenberg Boatworks in 2003.

Upholstery was replaced in 2004 by Tupper & Twiggs.

A custom tandem axle trailer built in 2004 is included. The boat has benefited from routine maintenance performed by Pioneer Hills Marine over its ownership history.
