1916 Canadian Racing Launch 20ft – SOLD
$10,000.001916 Canadian Racing Launch 20ft “Redskin”
This 1916 racing launch is believed to have been built in Ontario and was first campaigned by Atlantic City Yacht Club member F.W. Van Loon of Philadelphia. The president of the Antique Automobile Club of America, D. Cameron Peck, purchased the vessel from Van Loon in 1948 and commissioned a restoration by Ralph T. Buckley in Atlantic City. The vessel was restored again in 1984 by us at Sierra Boat Company, thereafter earning first place at that year’s Lake Tahoe Concours d’Elegance. The boat was put into storage in the late 1980s before being acquired by a new owner in 2003 and brought to operational status in time to earn Best Engine of Show at the 2003 Lake Tahoe Concours d’Elegance.
Power is from an inboard Wisconsin Journey 449ci inline-four that was reportedly installed in 1917. The 20-foot oak hull is finished in red, white, and black with varnished decking. This racing boat was donated to the Tahoe Maritime Museum in 2003.
It was stated that the boat was designed in 1912 and fabricated between 1913-1916. The vessel measures 20 feet long and features a beam of five feet as well as a two-foot draft. The planning hull is constructed of oak and features a bronze stem band and rib rails. The sides are painted red above a white bootstripe and black underside. The forward deck is finished in white, while the gunwales, aft deck, and transom are varnished wood. The 1948 restoration involved replacement of the transom and decking.
The open cockpit features a flat floor made of varnished wood planks. A single seat located in the center wears green upholstery and a button-tufted lower cushion. A tan canvas cover for the forward cockpit also protects the engine.
The wood steering wheel operates the rudder via a pulley system and cables that run along the inside of the starboard hull. Instrumentation includes a 2,200-rpm Corbin tachometer and an oil pressure gauge. A vintage Buffalo fire extinguisher is mounted beneath the steering wheel, and a boat hook is affixed on the port side.
The original two-stroke Watertown six-cylinder engine was replaced in 1917 with a Wisconsin Journey 449ci inline-four, which was rated at 110 horsepower at 2,200 rpm when new. The T-head Wisconsin engine is said to weigh 875 pounds and features a twin-spark ignition system and six-volt electrics. The hand-operated fuel pump reportedly provides pressure and the engine is said to have run under testing when fuel was poured into the priming cups, though the #2 priming cup passage needs cleaning and the fuel tank is filled with bad gasoline.
The vessel was last in the water in 2003. A wooden cradle is included in the sale.

$59,500.001959 Chris Craft 19ft Silver Arrow
Back in the 1950’s, car manufacturers had discovered the beauty of fiberglass; it was light and easy to shape, yet strong and durable. Before long, boat builders realized fiberglass was ideally suited for their applications. At the time, Chris craft was the leading builder of pleasure crafts in America. They started to experiment with fiberglass in 1957 and made public in 1958 the Chris Craft Silver Arrow. The Silver Arrow used a fiberglass shell molded around a traditional 19ft wooden planked boat. The Silver Arrow was known for a pair of prominent fins on the transom which was inspired by the automobiles of that time. The unique futuristic construction as well as its sleek, stylish profile makes the Silver Arrow rare and desirable.
The Silver Arrow was built from 1958 to 1959 with a total of 92 hulls built. It has been said that about 30 still exist today. This 1959 Silver Arrow example is number 62 in the production line.
The Silver Arrow had about 20% more weight than the equivalent wooden boat due to the added fiberglass allowing it to perform better on rougher water for an outstanding cruising experience. The Silver Arrow also has anti-trip chines that allow it to bank into a turn better than most runabouts.
This 1959 Chris Craft 19ft Silver Arrow is powered by a Chris Craft 283 engine that was converted to a 350. It is showing an original 443.4 engine hours, so the hull has that many hours of use, but the converted engine has less.
This boat was bought new and has been in the seller’s family ever since. Always used in Lake Tahoe, it was restored 15-20 years ago and has a West System bottom with a glass overlay on it. It won an award in the Concourse d’Elegance boat show before being put away for storage in the seller’s garage in Rubicon for many years.
These rare, stylish and uniquely designed boats are a head turner at any dock you pull up to!

The Century Ski Dart ski boat was the prototype of the Ski Nautique and MasterCraft’s flat hull ski boat design. In 1964 they made only 60 Ski Darts with this being the 44th boat they built that year.

Hi James,
Thanks for reaching out to us at Sierra Boat. What kind of Chris Craft info are you looking for, company history or specific boat model? You can reach me at mac@sierraboat.com.
Thank you,
Mac Scott
I have a 22.6′ boat. What is your fees for Winter Boat Storage? What days does it cover? What additional fees are there (e.g. winterizing/summerizing)? Do you have availability for winter 2021-22? If not, the following year?
