Description
SUMMER CLEARANCE — CLASSIC 1951 CHRIS-CRAFT RIVIERA
This isn't simply a used boat—it's a piece of American boating history.
Here's an opportunity to own a 1951 Chris-Craft 18' Riviera, complete with a custom trailer.
According to the historical information displayed with the boat, this Riviera was built at the Chris-Craft Cadillac, Michigan plant and shipped by rail on May 4, 1951, to Sparta, New Jersey.
Even more remarkable, the sign indicates the wood remains original above the waterline, while the bottom has been updated with new planks bedded with 3M 5200 sealer for a watertight, no-soak bottom.
