Carson City, NV – Is Restoring Antique Wooden Boats Better Than Buying New?

Tue, May 12 2026 - 5:15 AM
A new boat gives you reliability, current electronics, and a warranty, and that's a fair thing to want. A restored antique wooden boat gives you something entirely different, and the choice between them comes down to what you want the boat to be when you're out on the water. Tahoe Runabout Co. is located in Lake Tahoe, CA, and Carson City owners ca…

Carson City, NV – How Does Wooden Chris-Craft Restoration Improve Value?

Wed, April 29 2026 - 7:31 PM
There's a particular feeling an owner gets the first time they see their Chris-Craft sitting in the shop with the varnish stripped back to bare mahogany. The boat looks both older and somehow younger than it did with its weathered finish, and everything that makes it a Chris-Craft, from the hull stampings to the deck hardware to the original frame joine…

Carson City, NV – Is Wooden Boat Restoration Worth It For Older Runabouts?

Thu, April 16 2026 - 4:51 AM

Carson City, NV – Need A Wooden Boat Repair Company For Cracked Mahogany Hull?

Thu, April 2 2026 - 7:57 AM
That crack in your mahogany hull didn't start on the surface. It started behind the planking, months or years ago, in a place you couldn't see and wouldn't have thought to check. Tahoe Runabout Co. is located in Lake Tahoe, CA, and we work with Carson City boat owners who've found damage in their mahogany planking and need someone to trac…

Carson City, NV – Partial Boat Reconditioning for Deck and Trim Repairs

Wed, March 11 2026 - 8:39 AM
A worn deck can make an entire wooden boat look like it's falling apart. The finish has gone flat, the seams between planks have opened, and the trim has turned gray where the varnish gave up. Carson City owners see that kind of surface wear and assume the whole boat is headed for a full teardown. We see it differently at our Lake Tahoe, CA shop, becaus…

Carson City, NV – Classic Runabout Renewal with Expert Wooden Boat Repair

Tue, February 24 2026 - 8:17 AM
You trailered your runabout home to Carson City last fall, covered it up, and figured it would be fine until spring. That's what most wooden boat owners do, and it makes sense. But the high desert air around Carson City sits well below 40% humidity for months at a stretch, and that dry climate does something to wooden hulls that you can't see from…
