The Triple Cockpit Runabout

First appearing in the 1920's, these powerful small wooden varnished boats had outboard motors and a shape to take advantage of hydroplaning or skimming across the top of the water. Builders of Runabouts were Chris-Craft, Gar Wood, Hacker Boat Company and Carl Riva.

The Jaguar XK120 ruled the road; Doris Day and Cary Grant were Oscar nominated. It was a time of peace, and optimism was unbridled… It was then that Rivas roared across the Lago di Como and skimmed the Mediterranean waves off St. Tropez. Thunderboats (also called Hydroplanes) racing with each other at record speed. Stateside, the luxurious Chris Crafts were de rigeur with Hollywood elite.
