Product Info
Classic American Runabout: Wood Boats, 1915-1965 Hard Cover Book
Chris-Craft, Gar Wood, Century, Stanley -- all these and more of the most popular runabouts from the Roaring '20s through the Fabulous '50s are expertly chronicled in this eagerly anticipated history of America's nautical icon. While their larger speedboat cousins were powered by aircraft engines and piloted exclusively by the wealthy, early runabouts -- with their more modest inboard and outboard engines -- were more accessible and yet every bit as stylish in all repects. Today, even "low-end" runabouts from the golden age, with their hallmark chrome accessories and lovingly polished wooden hulls, fetch handsome sums at classic boat shows around the world. Authors Duncan and Ballantyne feature, in exclusive color photography, many of the finest wooden powerboats still breaking the waves today. Historic black-and-white shots capture them in their heyday, along with the legends who led the way: Horace Dodge, Gar Wood, Walter Chrysler, and other giants of industry.
