I grew up right across the street. As a kid I played in the mahogany sawdust piles in the woods behind the house.

Ever since I was a kid in the Bronx I loved those Chris Crafts at the dealership on Castle Hill Point . Yes the Bronx has a lot of waterfront on the East river and Long Island Sound.The salt water was tough on those beautifull wood boats.

[@firstvideos1290]

I love those Chris Crafts too... I've owned a few. I live in Michigan near Algonac where they built the old wood ones.... Thanks for watching.... I'll be doing a few more boat shows this year so subscribe to my channel so you don't miss them.....

In 1958, My grandparents bought a new Lyman 23. White freeboard, red bottom, red anagahide (s ?) upholsterery, Ford engine, varnished interior woodwork. Boy, were we liv’n big time! We boated all over Biscayne Bay. We have been crazy about boats ever since!

[@firstvideos1290]

Nice.... My parents had a 25' hard top with the varnish interior. Was a 1963. They purchased it used in 1969. They upgraded to a 28 in the mid 1970's. They went glass after that and it just wasn't the same. Thanks for watching and please subscribe to my channel and share with your friends.

She really really wants a burger. Gotta have one now. Had an old Chris Craft with Chrysler v8, she skidattled pretty well. Looked just like #2 When I was young back in the 70's we had a black and white Dura Craft just like the yellow one. We called it the bat boat Those BW Outrage are famous for how well they are. One of the best boats ever built

Wow , what a great collection of beautiful Woden boats , I’ve always had a soft spot for Chris craft and respect for the craftsmanship that made them , maintain them , and restore them

[@firstvideos1290]

Thanks.... Me too.... I was born on a boat. Not literally but my dad had a boat when I was born. Been on the water on Lake St Clair my entire life. I am going to try and see an antique boat parage tomorrow 9-2-23 on Harsens Island. Hoping to get some good video. Thanks for watching.

Great video - My mom Regina Berger when she was a teenage in Algonac, Michigan in the 1940's watched Chris Smith's grand kids - Bernard & Neil Smith. Their father also worked at the Chris Craft factory in Algonac. Chris Smith who was a duck hunter and made his own boats made some really neat wood fast boats. They just glided on the water too!

[@pamwhittemore3476]

We used to have a boat like the Baily Blue in the early 70s. It wasn't stained wood like that but it was probably like that to begin with. It was painted white and we sold it to someone named George Johnson from New Jersey who wanted to restore it ike the Bailey Blue. It was our ski boat and could pull three skiers up without any problem. You had to really hold on being pulled up on your skis because it would pull out of your hands like nothing. Weused to race a lot of other newer race boats with my husband, three kids, two other friends with us, and leave the new race boats behind lkke they were standing still! Such fun! I thought it was our old boat at first because that was the year it was. It was 24 ft long. We got it with a marine engine in it, but the old engine was given to us in parts in boxes. I loved that old boat and cried like a baby when we sold it to get money to help buy a house.

[@firstvideos1290]

[@harryschaefer5887]

One of my favorite boat on Greenwood Lake NY/NJ when I was groing up was a Chris Craft "Cobra" back in the days when tail fins were the rage on automobiles.

[@timothydockery534]

That aluminum boat that we didn't get to hear about because of music. I know where one just like that is. It has about 8 of the biggest pine trees I've ever seen all around it. The guy that owns it will not sale it and it is sad to see it. The little boat would be such a nice boat.

[@firstvideos1290]

So sorry. I'll never do that again but KZbin gave me a copywrite strike for the music that was playing an the boat next to them so I had to cover it up with some free non copyright music and I ruined the video. Never do it again. I don't remember what kind of boat that was. Sorry again but thanks for watching.

[@ct1762]

that aluminum in the water is a FeatherCraft. really easy to tell by those gorgeous lines aft... they way they wrap around the transom is so beautiful. really collectible. if you ever see one lying around, shoot me a message ill scoop it up and restore it!

[@firstvideos1290]

For sure... Great looking boat. I had a short conversation with the owner but KZbin made me remove some background music because of copyright laws so I they overdubbed a that conversation with a non copyright song. Bummed me out. Love that barrel back boat.... Thanks for watching and please subscribe to my channel. Thank you...

[@scooter1391]

I had a friend that had one of those Boston Whalers with twin 115 on it and we water skied everyday in the summers he wanted to turn pro but shortly after he left he broke his back and could not water sky any more that boat brings a lot of good times for me.

That is absolutely the wrong engine in that Chriscraft 1947 U-22 Sportsman. It is supposed to be a 138hp 6 cylinder flathead Chrysler Crown engine with Chris Craft labeling. Chrysler didn't come out with a pushrod V-8 until 11 years later. Not possible for that engine to be original equipment. Although, a lot of people repowered their U-22's with a V-8, it devalues them tremendously, and personally, it's sad to see at a antique boat show.
