Chris Craft 19 Capri used

Defined by its iconic heritage and classic design, this 1959 Chris Craft 19 Capri stands as a remarkably rare find for any vintage boat enthusiast. With only 786 units ever produced between 1955 and 1960, this vessel represents a significant chapter in the history of American boat building. The hull, modeled after the legendary Cobra, offers a notably smooth and dry ride. This specific runabout has undergone a complete restoration by a prominent Italian shipyard specializing in classic wooden vessels. Currently in excellent condition, the boat retains its original wooden ladder and authentic period-correct upholstery, both meticulously preserved. The powerful 185 HP Chris Craft V8 engine has been fully overhauled and returned to zero-hour status, ensuring reliable performance for its next owner. Designed for versatility, this classic craft is a 'natante'—meaning it is easily trailerable and comes complete with its own wooden cradle. Whether for weekend outings or static display at boat shows, the included double boat cover ensures the integrity of the wood hull remains protected. This boat is currently located in Italy and is offered with VAT paid status.
