Timeless Elegance: A Renewed Chris-Craft on South Lake Tahoe

This vintage Chris-Craft from the 1940s, celebrated for its iconic craftsmanship and classic design, was expertly refurbished with major upgrades to its engine and performance, all while preserving its timeless aesthetic. The project focused on introducing accent chairs and curated accessories to complement the boat’s legacy and enhance its modernized features, blending quiet luxury with functionality.

The Chris-Craft is renowned for its superior craftsmanship and classic wooden hulls, embodying mid-century American elegance. Through careful consultation, the updated design balances the boat's rich history with contemporary comfort, creating a refined space on the water that pays homage to its origins.

This stunning transformation earned the People’s Choice Award at the 2024 Lake Tahoe Boat Show-Concours d’Elegance, celebrating its seamless fusion of classic style and cutting-edge performance.
