It was an honor to have the chance to restore such a rare and special runabout built by Chris Craft. It was a 2-year journey to make sure we built this boat back to factory correct as possible. They only made 19 of these special 16-foot race boats and now only 7 are known to exist today.
Thanks for tuning into my channel! I know from experience that getting started and working through a restoration of an antique or classics runabout can be a daunting task and sometimes you do not know where to start. You may also find that you just get stuck on finding out how to complete a task you have never done before. Well, you have come to the right place! My channel is designed to help you get through the restoration and give you step by step instructions along with some tips and trick to get your task done and enjoying your boat out on the water. If you have any questions or want to see a specific video, please leave me a description of what you are interested in and I will try to answer them. Have a great day and keep restoring!. Thank you for watching!!!

All that work, including the video - and not one piece of video of this beauty in motion? Ball breakers!

Hi Mike, ... Diane and I watched in amazement first hand and in-person, over the past couple of years from both the Maritime Classics shop and the annual "Boats on the Boardwalk', in Traverse City, MI, ACBS Water Wonderland Chapter show each August, the beautiful and stunning step by step complete rebuild and total restoration of "Ruby" the 1941 Chris Craft 16' hydroplane... Thanks for sharing this absolutely wonderful time-lapsed video. Truly "Maritime Classics" Chris Craft history in the making -- Congratulations to you and your fabulous MC crew!!!

I’m actually building the Dumas model of this boat right now. Besides how gorgeous your work is, it’s been a big help with getting the details correct. Very impressed with how true to the original the model is. Might be as close as I come to owning a classic Chris Craft. Enjoy!

Build. Duplicate of 66'10" C. Craft Constellation either all wood or fiber glass variant hull. Looking fr Co. whose niche this is, not a mega boat builder who will just take it on. Thnks Bill

@@billkramer2994 I had to think about this one and came up with nothing. To do it right is would need to be someone with skills in building large boats and knowlage in Chris Craft to get it just right. Also there would be huge differance between fiberglass construction and wood construction. Van Dam comes to mind but they may not build a replica but come up with there design that would fit your needs. It would also take a team to pull it off with marine architects and electrical disigners. Not saying it could not be done but the project would take 3-5 years and it would be over budget for sure.

My choice would be a 1965 60' Huckins for a boat like the Chris Craft but faster.

​@@MikeGreenStudioWorksI grew up in Mich and that 67' CC Constellation is my one and only love boat project. Don't know if there are Co.s who wld build this cabin cruiser using the CC specs or as close to it as poss. Co in Maine said they cld do it but their f/glass variant hull wld be made in Taiwan, then Maine Co. wld take the hull and finish it out. Take 2 yrs and $2.7 mil approx. I'd send you a $1000 ref fee if you hooked me up w a Co I contracted with to do the build. Also looking fr the 19 ft CC 1939 4 seater, all mahog runabout. Either done by restoration or to build from new. Thnks fr reply. Bill
