Guido Abbate California d'occasion

Defined by the legendary racing heritage of a shipyard founded in 1873, this 1959 Guido Abbate California represents the pinnacle of sixties Italian elegance. At 6.8 meters in length with a 2.05-meter beam, this wooden runabout is designed for performance and style, capable of reaching a maximum speed of 30 knots with a comfortable cruising speed of 24 knots. This specific vessel has been exceptionally well-preserved, having been utilized exclusively in the freshwater of Swedish lakes. The current owner has prioritized structural and aesthetic integrity, performing extensive refurbishments including a complete deck refit in 2006, a new transom in 2011, and hull sanding and painting in 2015. Further interior upgrades and upholstery replacement were completed in 2017, with new cockpit sides added in 2021. Propulsion is provided by a Dearborn Interceptor engine, which underwent a total rebuild in 2000 and received new carburetors in 2023. During the off-season, the boat has been consistently stored indoors, ensuring that the wood remains in good condition. With a capacity for up to 6 people, it remains an ideal choice for those who appreciate the historical significance and craftsmanship of Italian motorboat design. This used boat is currently located in Sweden and is available for inspection. For further details regarding this listing, please contact us directly.
