  North America's love affair with mahogany wooden boats began at the turn of the 20th century when builder,
  Christopher Smith, a renowned builder of both row boats and duck boats, opened a new plant in Algonac, Michigan. Being the innovator he was, he one day installed a naphtha gas engine in one of his duck boats, and thus launched the power boat industry. From those humble beginnings grew an American classic, the wooden runabout in 1922. Mr. Smith founded Chris Craft which would soon become worldwide legend as the pre-eminent manufacturer of premium wooden runabouts.
  From that rich history, the last century has seen birth of many wooden boat
  manufacturers who tried to capture the allure of the original Chris Craft. In 1979, the Northuis family - (Hollis, his son Robert, and grandson Steve) - opened the doors of The Grand-Craft boat works in Holland, Michigan. They hired five experienced craftsmen, all former Chris Craft employees and set about building the first Grand-Craft boat. In 1982, aided by grandson of Christopher Smith, they began to design a line of runabouts based on the classic Chris Craft hull designs but with improvements to the design and construction to provide improved handling and a smoother ride. This new generation of Grand-Craft boats proved to be far more durable and had much lower maintenance than other wooden boats. These new Grand-Craft wooden boats quickly grew to be the most sought after classic style, mahogany wooden boats on the market. Today, the craftsmen of Grand-Craft
  continue that tradition of world-class boat building using the finest materials and a lifetime of knowledge and skills to build what has become the world's finest line of wooden boats.
