A 1947 Chris-Craft Electric represents a thoughtful conversion of a classic wooden runabout. The 17-foot boat has been fitted with a Motenergy electric motor producing 50.29 horsepower, offering a quiet, zero-emission alternative to its original powerplant. All electrical components have been recently installed and are essentially new, with only five hours of runtime logged.
The wooden hull was comprehensively restored in 2010 and remains in good condition, rated 8 out of 10, with no evidence of rot or soaking. The boat presents a rare marriage of vintage Chris-Craft craftsmanship and modern electric propulsion technology.
