  • [MUSIC PLAYING]

  • Rick's friend, Spencer, called up the shop

  • and said he had a great lead on a boat.

  • So I thought I'd hop on a plane, come out

  • to Harsens Island, Michigan.

  • What a great chance to check out a boat with Rick

  • and see if we can make a great buy.

  • Because he's going to be happy to see

  • yours truly, his best friend.

  • How you doing, boss?

  • What the [BLEEP] are you doing here?

  • Why are you not at work?

  • You didn't know he was supposed to be here?

  • RICK: No.

  • We're at someone's house.

  • We'll talk about this later, Chum.

  • SPENCER: Let's go check this boat out, guys.

  • Boats and bros, Rick.

  • Boats and bros, you remember.

  • Explain to me why I can't fire you.

  • Whoa.

  • Gentlemen.

  • How's it going? I'm Rick.

  • NEAL: Rick? Neal.

  • How are you?

  • SPENCER: Well, Rick, is this everything

  • you were looking for?

  • Yeah, an old-school wood Chris-Craft.

  • 1925.

  • Just a little older than I am.

  • OK.

  • [BOAT BELL]

  • NEAL: I have a 1925 triple-cockpit

  • Chris-Craft runabout.

  • I really haven't given a lot of thought to selling the boat.

  • I don't know that I want to get rid of it, but we'll see.

  • I'm willing to talk to them and have some fun with it.

  • RICK: That's pretty amazing.

  • So this was from the '20s.

  • I can almost guarantee you this thing was used for bootlegging.

  • NEAL: Yeah, more than likely.

  • RICK: They would get these things going

  • 40 miles an hour in the 1920s.

  • That was moving back then.

  • Well, 40 miles an hour on the lake is moving now.

  • You're out on the water, you're doing 40 miles an hour,

  • you were hauling.

  • And even if the Coast Guard spotted you,

  • if you were on one of these things,

  • it was really easy to get away from the Coast Guard

  • and stash your booze.

  • You hit the nail right on the head.

  • That's exactly how it worked.

  • RICK: So to this day, Chris-Craft is still considered

  • one of the best boats there is.

  • This company was, like, family-owned forever.

  • It was two brothers, Chris and Hank Smith,

  • that started this in the 1880s.

  • And basically, the reason why it's called Chris-Craft

  • is because it was named after Chris's

  • craft, which was making boats.

  • NEAL: That's it.

  • RICK: They're rare, and they're getting rarer all the time.

  • And the price is going up.

  • [LAUGHS]

  • Speaking of price, how much do you want for it?

  • [SIGH] I wouldn't take any less than $80,000 for it.

  • OK.

  • Diamond in the rough.

  • And guess what?

  • Your boy, Chumlee, found it for you.

  • Hey, wait a minute, bro.

  • I'm the one who put the legwork in.

  • I found this boat.

  • Now I know why you didn't want him coming out here.

  • Listen, you did a great job, Spence,

  • but I will say something else.

  • You guys are boring the hell out of Spence and I.

  • Can we just get on this thing and test-drive

  • it to even see if it works?

  • Yeah, and I claim any of the leftover

  • bootleg whiskey that's been there since the '20s.

  • Yeah, I would like to take it for a spin

  • and check everything out on it.

  • We can do that.

  • CHUMLEE: All right, guys.

  • We're going to have a great day out on the water.

  • It's time to hit the open sea.

  • We've got an amazing captain and an even better first mate.

  • Land ho, boys!

  • [ROCK MUSIC]

  • [BOAT MOTOR]

  • [LAUGHTER]

  • RICK: This thing does get it.

  • Yeah.

  • I mean, it's a pretty smooth ride.

  • Sure is a lot of big ships going through here.

  • NEAL: Yeah, that is a big boat.

  • That's bigger than ours.

  • Somebody's saying hi to us.

  • Oh yeah!

  • [LAUGHTER]

  • Rick, you want to run this?

  • RICK: Nah, I'm good.

  • Are you sure?

  • RICK: I'm sure.

  • I'll run it.

  • OK, good.

  • No.

  • What do you mean, no?

  • SPENCER: Oh, let him run it.

  • He'll be fine.

  • NEAL: Whoa!

  • All right, now you put it in gear.

  • This is your throttle.

  • OK, so it's--

  • To your right, yeah.

  • That's good, right there.

  • Now you're boogying.

  • Yeah!

  • Whoa.

  • CHUMLEE: This already feels good.

  • RICK: A nice little spray.

  • NEAL: Now swap seats with me.

  • All right, I'm doing the slide-over this time.

  • NEAL: All right.

  • RICK: Excellent driving, Chum.

  • Excellent driving.

  • NEAL: Don't kick me in the nuts, we're good.

  • Good job.

  • You did a real good job.

  • RICK: All right, that was a hell of a ride.

  • This thing runs perfect.

  • CHUMLEE: Boats and bros.

  • Can we a-- everyone in the middle?

  • Like a soccer team? Pow!

  • I'll give you one, bro.

  • I have some serious issues with you being here, all right?

  • All right, Rick, let's you and I get off the boat.

  • RICK: OK.

  • So how much you want for this?

  • I told you back in the boathouse, $80,000.

  • Is that Canadian money?

  • You are a wheeler and a dealer.

  • No, that would be US funds.

  • OK, would you take $65 grand?

  • [SWIPE]

  • No, I would not.

  • No, I would not.

  • The minimum I would take would be $75.

  • [SWIPE]

  • Why don't we just say $70,000 and call it a day?

  • You got to do better than that, Rick.

  • $72,000 and you have a deal.

  • [SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

  • $72.

  • All right.

  • CHUMLEE: That's how you close a deal, Rick.

  • I didn't even have to get out of the boat to do that.

  • We still need to have a discussion later today.

  • So, Spence, you know this area.

  • Is there anything good to pick around here?

  • There's plenty of places to go picking along here.

  • The only thing is, we got to go by boat.

  • Did I say that $72,000 includes

  • chauffeur services for the day?

  • No, you didn't.

  • No, you didn't.

  • But I'm not going to be that busy,

  • and I've enjoyed your company.

  • All right, so let's go picking.

  • You're going to actually have to work something today, Chum.

  • We might have to leave him behind because we're

  • going to buy so much stuff.

  • CHUMLEE: Bad news, Spencer.

  • If anyone's getting left, it's going to be you.

  • [LAUGHTER]
