Completed Chris Craft and Gar Wood Boats For Sale

In today’s powerboat landscape dominated by cutting-edge tech, glossy composites and a race for ever-increasing speed it’s easy to assume wooden boats are relics of the past. But stand before one, or better yet, feel it glide across the water and that assumption dissolves instantly.

A wooden boat commands attention. It embodies craftsmanship you can’t automate, intention you can’t mass produce and a level of artistry born only from experience and devotion. These vessels aren’t just built, they’re crafted, shaped by passion, and finished with a reverence for tradition that modern materials simply can’t replicate.

We got the boat back recently and are very pleased with the results. Deck has a mirror finish and the chrome gleams. A few days ago we had the boat parked in front of a shop and noticed a car pull up, the driver got out, took a picture of it and then drove off with a smile on his face. Due to the quality work McCall Boat Works did, absolute strangers are pulling up beside us and giving a thumbs up about how it looks.

We have a ’59 Century Resorter which had a 5200 bottom installed by McCall Boat works. Don and the McCall Boat Works Crew kept me fully informed on the progress of the work. They frequently sent me pictures as the work progressed. After the work was completed they gave me a CD with over 150 pictures that showed every step of the bottom work. The completed bottom looked terrific.

Thanks for your help in keeping Christine in pristine condition this summer. I enjoyed working with you on the recent varnish project. Had I tried to do this myself the results would have been less than perfect. Allowing me to come into your shop and work with you was the right way to get the best result on the bright work project. I also appreciate your quick turn around on the drive shaft project. We’ll see you again next spring for bottom paint etc… Thanks again your wonderful to work with!
1951 Century Resorter
1951 Century Resorter
We are the original owners of a 1951 Century Resorter. Around 2002 Don Hardy with McCall Boat Works restored our family boat to perfection. New keel, chines, frames and a 3M5200 bottom, new top sides, new covering boards and new decking; complete restoration. It came out SO shiny and beautiful. AND dry. Our original motor needed TLC; no problem. It was reviewed and tuned up perfectly (even to today) by McCall Boat Works. Documentation, detail, communication and professionalism are all at McCall Boat Works. Even today, 6 years later they continue to take care of the boat. I would recommend McCall Boat Works highly over anywhere else!

We have a 1954 Chris Craft Racer. Don replaced the transom on our boat; refinished the sides, deck and interior, and rebuilt the transmission. Our boat has been in the family for over 40 years. We’ve had it worked on by Sierra Boat Company and others. The quality of Don’s work exceeds the others. He is a perfectionist. I have found him to be pleasant, honest, reliable, and mostly on time.

Excellent. Good folks here! I have known the owner, Don, for many years and vouch for his ability and integrity. The boats that he works on are wonderful works of art, and very mechanically sound. Besides that … he respects the boat’s owner’s wishes and opinions. A great shop to do business with.
