A few photos of some classic wooden boats taken at the Classic Boat Museum in Clayton, NY on the St Lawrence River. I took these photos back in my film days with my first SLR, a Pentax, and the quality is not up to today's standards, but with a bit of processing of the scanned prints I hope you find the images to be interesting. A collection of vintage race boats will follow in a subsequent post.
A classic dual cockpit Runabout
Mahogany "Barrell Back" Runabout
Mahogany "Cracker Box" style Gentleman's racer style runabout
Raven, a sleek dual cockpit "torpedo back" runabout
Sleek mahogany triple cockpit runabout
Rare Chris Craft Runabout with rear fin - possibly the one restored by Keough Marine in Saranac Lake, NY in the 1980's
1960's ? vintage Chris Craft runabout
Beautiful examples of prime woodwork.
Classic boats from the pre-plastic days
Great looking water vessels, Rodder.
"Absence of Malice" comes to mind.
Beautiful vessels, and nice to see people putting in the hard work to keep them up.
Wonderful set. Thanks for sharing them.
