Chris Craft Classic Speedboat

1951 Chris Craft Holiday I am reluctantly selling my Chris Craft after 10 years of ownership of this stunning boat. She has spent her whole life on Lake Tahoe before I personally imported her. The famous Sierra Boat Company had maintained the boat in California and had carried out a major restoration including a full engine rebuild prior to my importation. I have used her only a couple of times a year on rallies mainly, Lake Windermere and Lake Annecy in France, she draws attention anywhere you take her and can give Rivas some competition! 'Ain't She Sweet' has won prizes two years running at the Windermere Classic Boat Rally including best in show in 2018.

The 1951 Holiday design is very rare and very desirable in the States due to its double curved transom and stunning dashboard, she is powered by her original Chris Craft KLC engine which produces around 120 hp and has always been reliable during my ownership and easily gets up on the plane with a fantastic soundtrack from the straight six. She is a great ski boat but as equally happy pottering down a river with lots of walk around internal space. She is constructed from Honduras mahogany with distinctive bleached and stained details. 1951 19ft Holiday Original Chris Craft KLC Fully restored No soak 3M epoxy bottom 12 volt electrical conversion Electronic ignition Pacific bunk trailer with folding draw bar and fully submersible LED lights Custom made full cover by Sam’s hoods Last varnished in 2019 with 10 coats of epifanes History file including bills All importation taxes paid note these would now total around 40% of the purchase price The boat is as good as it looks in the pictures and I am not in hurry to sell her but must fine her a good home.
