My grandfather had a 1936 Chris Craft 19' racing runabout he bought new and ran first on Grand Lake, OK, then was transportation to his island cabin on Lake of the Woods, Ontario until 1975. Racing runabout meant triple carbed flathead Chrysler six. In the desk in his cabin was cancelled check for the boat, $!800, and the original owners manual.
My mom and uncle gave the boat to the purchaser of the cabin.
