"Blind Faith" is the result of a 12-year labor of love by Lake Tahoe legend Tony Brown, who meticulously reimagined this 25-foot Chris-Craft Custom Runabout into a one-of-a-kind “racing runabout.” The transformation is nothing short of masterful. Gone are the upright square windshields, raised cockpit trim of yesteryear and the modest 140hp engine. In their place, a sleek, rounded silhouette emerges, exuding timeless elegance and purposeful grace. Powering this refined vessel is a formidable 425hp 8.1L modern MerCruiser engine. Though it retains the soul of a classic Chris-Craft, Blind Faith now occupies a category all its own: an unmistakable fusion of heritage, artistry and performance.
