Up for sale for the first time since her total restoration in 1991 is this one of a kind 19’ Chris Craft 1950 Racing Runabout. Out of 503 R19 Racing Runabouts produced, she is the only craft to receive an ML 145hp engine and is one of 206 varnished hulls produced out of that number. Purchased in South Bend, Indiana in 1990, a two year painstaking restoration produced a boat that was exactly as she was made in 1950 at the Algonac, Michigan plant. This boat is as original as it gets from the Reed & Prince screws, seat cushions, 6v. system, original chrome and stainless to the diagonal inner planking with canvas and wood plank bottom. Years were spent researching the archives at Newport News to find only the rarest of boats. The hope is that you appreciate the endeavor to preserve history for future generations and respect the originality and integrity of R-19-291. She is better than the day she was made. Shown by appointment. Water test and Marine survey available at buyers expense.
