19 Capri

Expertly restored by a renowned Italian shipyard specializing in classic vessels, this 1959 Chris Craft 19 Capri represents a rare find from a limited production run of only 786 units built between 1955 and 1960. Featuring the same hull design as the celebrated Cobra model, this wooden runabout offers a smooth and dry navigation experience. At 5.8 meters in length with a 1.92-meter beam, the boat is easily transportable and is sold as a trailerable craft including a custom wooden cradle. Powering this classic is an original Chris-Craft 283 V8 engine providing 185 HP, which has been fully overhauled and returned to zero hours. Performance capabilities allow for a cruising speed of 24 knots and a maximum speed of 33 knots, supported by an 80-liter fuel capacity. The exterior and interior integrity is maintained by original period upholstery and an original wooden boarding ladder, both in excellent condition. The inventory includes practical additions such as navigation lights, a flag pole, fenders, a boat hook, a battery, and a dual-layer boat cover system. This vessel is VAT paid and currently located in Lombardia, Italy. This 1959 Chris Craft 19 Capri is suited for the discerning collector or enthusiast of historic American maritime craftsmanship who appreciates a turn-key classic vessel that combines original vintage aesthetics with modern mechanical reliability. Given its rarity and the quality of the restoration, it is an ideal choice for those looking to participate in classic boat rallies or weekend excursions.
