" Arguably the most well known Chris-Craft in the world, certainly the
most photographed example, the Sugar Lady… is antique boating at its
finest. 1932 was a low point for Chris-Craft, production-wise, along
with the rest of the country. But like many Depression-era
automobiles, some of the best things came from that period of time in
American history.

Known as a “Roll-deck” Chris-Craft for its transitional raised
coamings around the cockpits, the top-of –the-line 27’ Custom Runabout
was built for ten years – but with only 62 examples built – total.

Sugar Lady is hull number 10, of only 10 1932 models. What makes Sugar
Lady most unique however, is the oval-windowed Dietrich convertible
top, known as a one-man top originally. In addition to the one-man
top, Sugar Lady’s original build sheet documents that it was delivered
with high-compression cylinder heads for its 825 cubic inch Chris-
Craft A-120 V-8 engine.

Completely restored by Doug Morin in the late 1980s, Sugar Lady is
regarded as one of the finest triple cockpit runabouts
anywhere....Cost new in 1932: $5,000 "

good Lord! I wonder what that'll bring???

If you have to ask, you probably can't afford it. *:-)
I'd love to have an old Chris Craft... and someone to take care of it,
full time. *Heh.- Hide quoted text -

Well, I know where you might be able to get one, but get out your
check book. The guy has a recovery diver in the great lakes who brings
up scuttled boats from the bottom. So deep and cold there, the one I
saw being redone still had a lot of it's original varnish on it, for
sure, nothing was rotted. Some parts were missing but were being
replaced. The guy is a real artist, next time I am down there I will
ask if I can take a shot or two of his current project... He restores
them and sells them for a lot of money...
