Both boat bars are completely ready. They are totally weather proof; being built out of treated lumber and marine plywood. I have also used exterior screws in the construction of them. This bar is 12’ long, 52” wide and 42” high. The height of a bar is the key for being comfortable.

The first couple of coats of varnish really soak up in the weathered wood.

On the right side, you can see the 1982 MN boat sticker.

Down the sides, you can see the history in the wood.

The end of the bar for where you always have that one friend that never sits down and stands the entire time.

The top is made out of the bottom of a Chris Craft Holiday.

The interior shelves are ready to be stained.

I have applied the Chris Craft logo down the side to give it the look.

Just about ready for the stainless steel trim.

Looking toward the bottom, you can see the old water line.

This can be placed outside next to your pool or on your dock at your lake home. It’s weather ready.

Plus, I have installed locking wheels so it can be moved around or inside for your Winter parties.

The interior shelves have been stained with the same stain I use in the bilge of my Chris Craft boats.

Time for trim.


If the wood could talk, there’d be a lot of stories. This boat came from Minnesota.

Yes, the stainless steel trim with stainless steel screws really sets off the colors in the wood.

Lots of room for your bar stock.

Can be modified for a little kegerator.

Pretty sweet.

It has to be five o’clock somewhere.

This being 12 foot long gives you plenty of room for you and your friends.

Nice stainless steel band down the end of the bar to trim it out.

All I can say is ‘sweet’.

The top and sides have eight coats of varnish. So let’s get it wet.

The old vintage look just talks to you.
