1948 Chris Craft 20ft Custom Runabout

The Chris Craft 20ft Custom Runabout was the successor to the pre-war 19ft Custom Runabout or better known as a “Barrel Back”. Only 366 hulls were built from 1946 to 1949 with this example being hull number 140. These Custom Runabouts were the first of the post war runabouts to feature blond decking. Expensive and plush in their day, they featured genuine leather upholstery and a substantial 4 piece folding windshield.

This 1948 Chris Craft 20ft Custom Runabout features a West System bottom for no soak usability. Power comes from a Chris Craft MBL with 158 hp which was the top engine option from the factory at that time for this model. The boat has been converted to 12 volts on a one battery system.

The boat is protected by a custom full waterline cover.
