1947 Chris Craft Deluxe Runabout
Owner: Judy Trunsky
Home Port: Wilmette, IL
The 1947 Chris Craft Deluxe Runabout has a rich history and an equally remarkable restoration journey. Originally ordered from Motor Craft, Inc. NY in 1946, this classic boat spent much of its life gracefully cruising the waters of Lake Winnipesaukee. Eventually, it made its way to the Detroit area, where time and wear took their toll, leaving it in need of significant repair.
Recognizing its historical value and beauty, the Great Lakes Boat Building School in Cedarville, Michigan, undertook a complete restoration of the vessel as part of a class project. The boat was donated to the school for this purpose and later raffled off in 2019 to raise funds for the school's continued work. Although we were not the fortunate winner of that raffle, we are now the proud owner of this meticulously restored gem.
During its earlier years, the boat was outfitted with a larger engine, but the restoration team returned it to its original glory, including a new 131 hp Chris Craft engine true to the 1947 model. The restoration also involved a new 5200 bottom, and all new finishes ensuring it shines as brightly today as it did over seven decades ago.
“Legacy” now resides and cruises on Lac LaBelle in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin, where she continues to turn heads!

1947 Chris Craft U22 - 'RIFF RAFT'
Owner: Calvin Seith
Home Port: Glen Ellyn, IL
RIFF RAFT was completed on September 9th 1947 and is a Chris Craft U22 (Hull Number 998), with cedar planking on the hull and cedar ceiling boards in the interior which gives these boats a gorgeous three-tone look with the mahogany decks. She was originally sent to a dealership in Lakeport New Hampshire at Lake Winnipesaukee, and we know that she has also lived in New York, Michigan and California. RIFF RAFT has a pre-war flat folding windshield from a 1939 utility, and the pre-war Chris Craft script on the hull to match. She was repowered at some point after the late 1960's with a 350 V8, which gives her outstanding performance on the water, and a wonderful rumble at cocktail cruising speed. She lives in climate controlled storage near the Chain O'Lakes in Illinois and is trailered all over the country, this year reaching as far as the Lake of the Ozarks, the Thousand Islands on the Saint Lawrence River, and the Adirondack mountains in Upstate New York. She was restored in 2008 by the Fox Valley Boat Company and was given a 5200 bottom, and was beautifully restored this last winter by Motor Boat Garage in Cincinnati Ohio.
1940 Chris Craft Deluxe Utility - 'Wooden Nickols'
Owner: Tom Nickols
Home Port: Lake Geneva, WI
Wooden Nickols, a 22-foot Deluxe Utility was shipped from Algonac to Hessel, Michigan in June 1940. The owner of the Hessel grocery store purchased the boat to deliver groceries to summer residents on the surrounding islands, naming her Calli Sue after his granddaughter. The boat was acquired by an Ohio family and moved to Indian Lake, Ohio and renamed Smoove. We originally understood this was because of how, Smoove the boat went through the water. It was actually how Jackie Gleason's character in the Homeymooner's described how his cocktails went down, 'Smoove". The boat was moved to Iowa and received a new 5200 bottom and fresh varnish. Renamed Traveler it hit the road visiting a number of boat shows. The boat was relocated to Geneva Lake in 2007 and renamed Wooden Nickols. In frontier day's paper money was moved by stage coach, coins however were too unwieldy to ship. Local merchants banded together and "issued" nickels. dimes and quarters in wood. A merchant's life was short, so every few years the current crop of businesses would issue new coins and stop honoring the old ones. Hence the saying, "don't take any wooden nickels."

MBL Might Hercules engine. In 1955 only three of the thirty produced were delivered with the Mighty Hercules. In 2019 Dad's Promised was repowered with a Mercury MPI Tow/Sport engine and transmission package.
