Selling Brokers Classic Runabouts
Category Description
Classic gentlemen's boats, or runabouts, have their roots in the mid 20th century, when wealthy gentlemen with their convertibles cars (which were also sometimes called runabouts) moved their social activities onto the water using elegant wooden boats to go to the country estate or to cruise city canals, to "run about". Since then, boating has long been accessible to the greater public and modern runabouts have lived on as a boat class now mainly associated with leisure and socialising activities.
Classic runabouts are characterized by their sleek, sporty design with a pointed bow and curved stern and are usually made of wood (and now occasionally fiberglass). They seldom exceed 10m (33 feet) in length and are sought after for their timeless beauty and elegant lines which evoke a sense of nostalgia. Classic runabouts appeal to boating enthusiasts who appreciate the craftsmanship and artistry of a bygone era and they certainly turn heads wherever they go.
Designed for connoisseurs of style, vintage runabouts leave auctions for fabulous amounts and their owners form elite closed member clubs. Vintage runabouts are certainly not every day boats, although their speed and handling characteristics are worthy of respect. They are usually found moored in super yacht garages or private golf club berths, where they perform specific functions with a very specific sense of style.
