This one is in a league of its own. Man, that old Lycoming sounds so good, and the running attitude of the hull is so flat. What a great boat. It's good to see this one come back from the burn pile for sure. I have seen a lot of old Chris-Crafts over the years, and some pretty quick ones at that. This one is in a league of its own.

What a rush to watch history come alive! The sight of watching this streamline hull glide across the water, and the sound of an authentic original Lycoming racing engine rumble, is awe inspiring to say the least. The video footage of one of the last few 1936 Chris-Craft Racing Runabouts in existance is an impressive first hand look at the beauty of owning a wooden boat, and the reward behind properly restoring these boats to their original refined elegance. I commend The Wooden Runabout Company for their dedication to preserving history through the restoration of these beautiful wooden boats.
