This boat was manufactured in Algonac, Michigan in the fall of 1941 just before the bombing of Pearl Harbor. Its unique barrel back design was only made from 1939 – 1941. The original owners were from Connecticut, but at some point, the boat returned to Michigan. The current owner found it at Macatawa Bay Boatworks, bought it in 2004, had it completely restored, and had it delivered to his summer home on Stoney Lake.

After some years of enjoying the boat, he noticed it taking longer and longer to soak when launched. After seeing Scamp III on the Lake, a 22 ft Shepherd that John restored a few years before, he contacted us to discuss fixing the bottom problem by doing a more modern technology of an encapsulated fibreglass bottom. It was pretty amazing to see 3 Chris-Crafts at the shop all at one time after the job was complete! (See last photo)
