This boat will not be at CCR 2014, it is landlocked on Lake Chelan, WA but is available for sale! Another great example of a Northwest cruiser, only landlocked...... Are you ready to attend the biggest Chris Craft gathering in the world and come aboard and tour some of our boats? :mrgreen:

A very rare example and a classic award winning vessel, Seneca has been impeccably maintained by only 3 owners in 56 years. A complete strip down to bare wood was done by current owner to bring her to show quality. She lives undercover on Lake Union in fresh water and this shot was taken on the way home from CCR 2012. She will be at CCR 2014 for you to climb aboard and view!

It is a sad day in the PNW, one of our restored classics has been sold and is heading east, she will not be with us for CCR 2014. The full story is up today on Woody Boater. But we will still have the biggest number of stunning boats because other Chris Craft owners are coming! Will you be joining us for the biggest Chris Craft party in the world?

Another stunning example of a Northwest restored cruiser, she had an engine room fire in 2007 and was completely rebuilt at a tune of 300K, Also with the C.C. pontoon boat as a dinghy with a MerCruiser inboard. They travel every summer up the inside passage into Canada with the family.

This 1951 X-34 Commander will not be at the 2014 CCR unless some rescues it from the auction! Rocky, the owner passed away a few months ago and the family does not want it. It has lived in a boathouse for 20 years, rebuilt engines 2 years ago and was undergoing a rewire and new batteries. Contact the Port of Everett, WA. for info, the back storage bill of 1,600.00 will take the boat. It needs a new interior, but the hardware is there for some one looking for a cruiser project! This is the sistership to "ITCHIN" which is a few photos above......

I'm thinking Ron, who just sold "ITCHIN", made out so well (That's not a very common story) he should grab this one and do it again! :D

He thought about it! But decided at his age he needed a finished vessel not a project...

Does anybody want a project? This boat need a new caretaker and I already have too many projects on my own. If you think you are ready to finish the restoration of a small cruiser, this may be a good project for you! In the yard in Everett, WA and the family is willing to hand over the title. Someone please step up and save this one from the crusher, both engines fresh rebuilds, wiring is half done and interior needs redone. Lived in a boathouse for 20 years....... :)

If you have not done so, Please contact Dave at "Bone Yard Boats". He can get it in his next issue and if time is limited he can send out an e-mail. This thing should move fast with the right exposure. :D

Teco II is for sale, but Deb will not take less than 175K for it. I walk past it every week wondering when she will have a new owner. :cry:

Completely restored here in Seattle, At Last is a 57' Constellation that will be at CCR 2014 for the second year and will be open for you to tour this vessel. Why would you miss the biggest Chris Craft show in the world and miss the experience of the largest fleet of cruisers anywhere?

We now have 45 boats registered for the 2014 CCR! Last year at this point we only had 26, so I would predict....... Maybe 120 this year? Go online and register now for THE BIGGEST CHRIS CRAFT SHOW IN THE WORLD! ChrisCraftRendezvous.com

We are having our last committee meeting before CCR this Saturday in Seattle, if anyone wants to volunteer for the docking crew or other tasks please let me know! We are planning on having over 120 boats this year and will need a lot of help with rafting out, maybe 3 deep at the Port Orchard Marina. Here is a pic of our boat from last year at CCR. Look mom, no rails! Yes, we are in the middle, (start) of our restoration process, we showed up the first 2 years with only one engine running, think what it takes to park 46 tons of mahogany on a single screw, last year we had both engines running but only one good fuel tank...... Every boat is welcome regardless of condition, we don't care if you tow it here, just show up! Look for our page in the latest Brass Bell for info on the event.

We need everybody registered before July 5th to guarantee enough room in the marina and also for the Friday and Saturday night dinners. Print your forms out and get them in soon, we now expect over 130 boats will attend.
