[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]
