Experience the legacy of American boatbuilding with this exceptional 1959 Chris Craft 19 Capri. As one of only 786 units produced between 1955 and 1960, this rare runabout offers collectors a unique opportunity to own a piece of marine heritage. The vessel has undergone a complete restoration by a prominent Italian shipyard specializing in classic wooden boats, ensuring it remains in excellent condition today.
Performance is defined by its hull design, shared with the legendary Cobra, providing a smooth and dry ride on the water. With a maximum speed of 33 knots and a comfortable cruising speed of 24 knots, this classic is as capable as it is beautiful. The original 185 HP Chris-Craft V8 engine has been professionally overhauled and returned to zero hours, offering reliable power for outings with up to 6 passengers.
This boat is a true classic runabout, featuring original wooden boarding ladder, perfectly preserved period-correct upholstery, and a custom double boat cover. As a trailerable craft supplied with its own wooden cradle, it offers ease of transport and storage. The current price of 37.000 EUR includes VAT paid status, and the vessel is currently located in Italy.
