1936 Chris Craft 16ft Special Race Boat
The Chris Craft Special Race Boat was the first of the famous Barrel Back designs from Chris Craft. Most of them were painted red, white, and blue. Very fast in their day with a 121 hp KB flathead six, this one is even faster.
As a longtime Sierra Boat customer, he had a thing for small fast boats, and in the early 70’s a 365 cu in Cadillac V8 was shoehorned into her engine bay. This is not a show boat, but a fun vintage hotrod. An older restoration, much of the work was done in the early 90’s including a new deck and engine rebuild. The heavy duty fiberglass bottom was done in the 70’s for extra strength.

$85,000.001949 Chris Craft 20ft Custom.
This is hands down one of the finest boats we have listed for sale at Sierra Boat. It was fully re-constructed in 2013 by esteemed restorer Dan Nelson in Minnesota. It is essentially all new, using the correct Honduran mahogany. The boat is entirely glued construction, bottom sides and decks. In four years in California it does not have a single crack!
20 Customs were notoriously under built and the methods used, while not traditional, are the only way to enjoy this model without the durability problems of the original. Correct color and pattern leather upholstery was done by Rod Souza. The original 158 hp Chris Craft MBL has been fully re-built.
This 1949 Chris Craft 20ft Custom comes on a custom fitted trailer and has a full waterline cover to protect it and a custom bimini top.

1938 Chris Craft 19ft Custom Runabout
$42,000.001938 Chris Craft 19ft Custom Runabout.
This is the last of the early 19ft Custom runabouts. The model evolved into the barrel back models in 1939 and those boats are based on these earlier models. They were built from 1935 to 1938 and only 328 examples were produced. In my opinion, this model captures the essence of what a classic Chris Craft should look like. It has the appealing vee-shaped windshield and excellent proportions. This is an older restoration but has been used little and is still in very good condition. The engine is a period correct Model “K” engine with 85 hp, but the serial number does not match the one on the hull plaque. The bottom has been replaced but is an original type bottom and will have to be soaked.

1998 Hacker-Craft 31 Runabout – SOLD
$155,000.001998 Hacker-Craft 31 Runabout. This is a rare opportunity to buy a brand new Hacker-craft at a fraction of the new cost. This boat was delivered to California in May of 1998 and has never been used. The engines have been run annually, but otherwise it has not touched the water since leaving the factory. It had a desirable enlarged 2nd cockpit and includes a picnic table. Perfect for taking friends on a cocktail cruise. Twin engines give it terrific performance and the specification sheet shows a “bay bottom”, which mean’t it had a deeper dead rise than standard. Translation, it rides beautifully. It comes on the Hacker supplied Loadmaster trailer. It even has a toilet under the 3rd cockpit seat and a small refrigerator up front. Cover included along with a rear cockpit tonneau.
