Vintage Chris-Crafts Head to Auction

Deal of the Century? Vintage Chris-Crafts Head to a No-Reserve Auction

Going Once, Going Twice…

Bridge Marina has been a Lake Hopatcong, NJ, institution for decades, offering slips, service, and rentals. After a recent expansion, they also accidentally became one of the world’s largest purveyors of classic wooden Chris-Crafts (and other builds) dating back to the 1920s.

A true treasure trove of nautical nostalgia, the best part of this incredible collection is that owner Ray Fernandez is looking to share the wealth at a no-reserve Mecum Auctions auction this June.

Consider this a teaser for a special collaborative story with Power & Motoryacht and Boating magazines.

Daniel Harding

Editor-in-Chief of Power & Motoryacht
One of the lucky ones who was born into boating, Dan grew up cruising aboard his family’s 33 Egg Harbor. Marinas and boatyards served as summer school and the foundation for a career on the water. When not chasing stories for Power & Motoryacht magazine he can be found cruising Long Island Sound with his wife, sons, and faithful (furry) first mate Salty.

Evinrude’s Sweet-16 sported three hulls and an inboard stern drive—what a concept for the Swingin’ Sixties!

In 1957, teenager Tom Ireland set out on a 1,500-mile journey from Long Island to Miami aboard a 13-foot Speedliner with a 25-hp outboard. What happened next even Mark Twain couldn’t make up.
