Tom Kenny's 1961 55-foot Constellation, Independence, is a wonderful example of one of Chris-Craft's biggest and most beautiful boats. He has an excellent website outlining the restoration, maintenance and other details of this magnificent vessel. The details of his repair plan show that it was truly a massive undertaking but the end result seems well worth it.

Mike Siegel, sought the help of master woodworker Jim Blake of The Woodshop Ltd, Edmond, Oklahoma, on the extensive restoration of his 1939 19-foot Custom Runabout (barrelback). The project started in May 2003 and was crowned with an "Overall Best of Show" award, "Best Professional Restoration Award," and "First Place in its Class" at the 2005 Lake Tahoe Concours d'Elegance. Little Lady as she is now known, was also presented the ACBS International 2005 "Boat of the Year" award.
