Former Commodore of the Michigan Chapter John Adams, built a 1930’s Gentlemen’s Racer out of a modified 1968 Chris Craft Lancer Hull, designed by Jim Winn.

This 2009 23’ Adams Craft features a 454 cid crusader engine with 330hp. Constructed of 3 types of mahogany: Ribbon Sapple, Honduras, & Philippine.  Rechromed period hardware & many coats of Varnish complete the vintage racer look.

Rascal…..A Perfect Father & Son Project!

Rascal was built over a 9 month period starting tin the fall of 2008 and launched in the summer of 2009.  Mark, who is 16 years old, worked on every phase of construction from interpreting the plans, to cutting and installing framing, keel, deck, mechanical, and finish work.  Built with a unique keel, this boat gets up on plane quickly, rides level, and handles very well!

You can usually find Mark Brenner & Rascal on Summer Weekends zipping across Anchor bay in Lake St. Clair, Mi. at 30-40mph. Nice boat Mark!

They call him……Ziggy!

AKA Mike Zadigian of Northville is a long time ChrisCraft & Antique Boat Club member and volunteer organizer of the display at the Detroit Boat Show.  Ziggy has 2 displays: “Great White”, a 1961 19’ Thompson Sea Lancer featuring its original 75 hp Johnson Outboard.  Ziggy & boat partner Jeff Moon modified it to a “Dory” style in 2009.

Ziggy & Mary Fife have this restored 1955 18’ Century Resorter that is docked in Cedarville, Mi, among the Les Cheneaux Islands.  This boat was purchased in Warren, Mi in December of 2008.  The restoration consisted of a new 5200 bottom, new frames, decks, wiring, stain, & varnish.  Wild Mare started right up on the first turn of the key & made its debut at the Grosse Pointe Yacht Club show on May 23, 2009.
