1940 Chris-Craft Maranee

1940 Chris-Craft Maranee Maranee is a 1940 Chris-Craft Double Cabin Enclosed Bridge Cruiser, built in Algonac, Michigan and calls Seattle, Washington her home.

Learn about Maranee, from her former owners to the on-going restoration and preservation by her current owners, the Paynton family of Seattle. Chris-Craft's design is a beautiful blend of form and function, a combination that will never again be repeated in the same way.

Just finished a haulout - no major surprises. Painted the old girl's bottom, and detailed the topsides. I am always amazed at how Chris-Craft's designers produced such striking lines, with multiple compound curves. This bow shot reveals such a dramatic perspective.
