Expertly crafted in 1963, this Abbate Tullio Villa d’Este Super stands as a rare testament to historic Italian boat building. Originating from the famous Como-based shipyard, this utility boat showcases exceptional build quality with a double-layered mahogany hull, rivaling the most prestigious manufacturers of the era. With only two owners throughout its history, the vessel retains an authentic pedigree.
The boat underwent a complete professional restoration in 2016 by a specialized Italian shipyard, which included a full replacement of the hull bottom and sides. This careful maintenance ensures the structural integrity of the wood hull today. Mechanically, the boat is powered by an original, matching-number Chris-Craft 283 engine, maintaining the integrity of its vintage configuration. It has been consistently stored indoors during winter seasons to preserve its condition.
Currently in good overall condition, this vessel offers a unique opportunity for collectors of classic motorboats, with only six specimens of the Super version known to be in existence. While the boat has been well-maintained, it requires minor cosmetic attention to specific wooden sections. Priced at 55.000 EUR with VAT paid, this used boat represents a significant find for those seeking an authentic piece of nautical heritage located in Italy.
