This 1946 Chris Craft 17ft Deluxe Runabout is a fresh water only boat. It has been on Lake Tahoe for decades where it was stored and serviced by Sierra Boat Company. The boat is powered by a Chris Craft KFL engine with 131 hp. This is an upgraded engine from the original one to provide more horsepower for Lake Tahoe’s high altitude.

The varnish is in fair to good condition and the upholstery is in very good condition. The bottom is an older fiberglass bottom. The boat is protected by a custom waterline cover. This boat comes with a trailer.
