1951 Chris-Craft Riviera 18′ Runabout Project

This classic boat, a 1951 Chris-Craft Riviera, is an elegant 18-foot runabout crafted during the golden era of American boating. Manufactured in United States, this iconic wooden vessel showcases its timeless design with a glossy mahogany hull finished in copper antifouling bottom paint and varnished topsides. Powered by a robust 237ci inline-six engine connected to a forward-reverse transmission, the Riviera pushes through water with ease via its three-blade bronze propeller. The boat has had previous refurbishments, including in the 1990s and again in the early 2000s under the current owner's care. Despite being over seven decades old, this vintage Runabout offers potential buyers a fascinating project to restore and enjoy the rich history of classic American boating.
