BOAT RESTORATION - THAYER IV

1950 CHRIS CRAFT hull #U-22-1802

It was just over a year ago when owners Jeff and Cincy Thom brought Tayer IV to our shop.  Thayer IV is a 1950 Chris Craft hull #U-22-1802, and probably the most iconic Chris Craft mahogany boat ever built, thanks to her appearance in the 1981 Academy Awared-winning movie, "On Golden Pond."  Following Jeff's plan, our shipwrights restored Thayer IV back to award-winning condition; and in the process, preserved as much of the original wood as possible.  We would like to thank the Thom Family for choosing Sunrise River Boatworks to restore this historically significant boat, insuring she will continue to be an icon for wooden boat enthusiasts for many years to come!
