A vintage wooden model of a classic barrel back runabout speedboat, designed in the style of mid-20th-century Chris-Craft vessels. The model is constructed from wood, featuring a carved hull finished with a dark mahogany-colored stain and accented with hand-painted white pinstriping. The underside of the hull is finished in traditional marine red paint. The deck displays natural wood grain and is fitted with a clear plastic windshield and two miniature American flags mounted on wooden poles at the bow and stern. The cockpit is hollowed out with a simple internal partition. The boat is mounted on a two-tier, stepped wooden display base with small metal support posts. This is a static display model and does not contain an internal motor or moving parts. No maker marks or manufacturer labels are visible on the exterior of the boat or the display stand.
