1939 CHRIS CRAFT CLIPPER 25'. Owner says, "Here is the alleged history of the boat: Purchased by gentleman who owned a business in Port Huron, MI. He owned it many years. After his death, it was stored in a warehouse and untouched for many years. A young man in St. Clair, MI, purchased it about 10 yrs. ago with all of the original parts: fittings, running gear, motor [turns over]. Seventy-percent of the wood is original and in good shape. Since the young man was unable to finish it, I purchased it about 5 yrs ago and began more restoration. Now I am moving and unable to finish it. It deserves a good home and someone who will finally put it in the water again restoring it to its original glory."

"Great Lakes freshwater wood boat; partially restored -- hull refastened [cedar-on-oak], new transom, new rear cabin bulkhead, new front window frame, new canvas on deck and cabin top. Orig. engine [turns over] and all running gear, orig. gages, orig. windows and rear cabin door, new wiring, 6V, have orig spring cushion frames and bolt of new material to finish. Needs trim and new interior. MOVING ... WON'T HAVE TIME TO FINISH." Asking $3500 (neg). Contact Tom at ... (MI)
