1947 Chris Craft U22 - 'RIFF RAFT'
Owner: Calvin Seith
Home Port: Glen Ellyn, IL
RIFF RAFT was completed on September 9th 1947 and is a Chris Craft U22 (Hull Number 998), with cedar planking on the hull and cedar ceiling boards in the interior which gives these boats a gorgeous three-tone look with the mahogany decks. She was originally sent to a dealership in Lakeport New Hampshire at Lake Winnipesaukee, and we know that she has also lived in New York, Michigan and California. RIFF RAFT has a pre-war flat folding windshield from a 1939 utility, and the pre-war Chris Craft script on the hull to match. She was repowered at some point after the late 1960's with a 350 V8, which gives her outstanding performance on the water, and a wonderful rumble at cocktail cruising speed. Last year we trailered the RIFF RAFT all over the country reaching as far as the Lake of the Ozarks, the Thousand Islands on the Saint Lawrence River, and the Adirondack mountains in Upstate New York. She was restored in 2008 by the Fox Valley Boat Company and was given a 5200 bottom, and was beautifully restored this last winter by Motor Boat Garage in Cincinnati Ohio.

1958 Streblow Rebel
Owner: Eric Moberg
Home Port: Johnsburg, IL
Top of the Streblow line in 1958, Eric & Kathy’s unique Rebel 19’ with Cadillac power is one of the oldest surviving Streblow inboards. It was purchased as a derelict in 1994 and was refurbished and returned to regular use by the Moberg’s over the next 3 years. Since that time continuous additional steps have been taken to return it to original condition, with some guidance from the late Randy Streblow. Most of the side and bottom planking is original. It is one of only two 19’ Streblows built in 1958, and features the original Cal Connell Cadillac Crusader 390 cu. in. engine, which was the most powerful engine available in 1958.
