Classic Design with High-Quality Wood Construction
The hull of this Chris Craft Capri 19 is built according to traditional maritime standards, using high-quality materials such as solid mahogany for the main frames and floating intermediate frames. The hull is round-bilged and features a sturdy construction with heavy engine beams. The underside of the hull is made from 5/8 inch sawn mahogany. This construction provides a solid and durable foundation that is not only aesthetically appealing but also functionally strong.
The deck is finished with teak, which not only contributes to the classic appearance but also provides a non-slip surface. The exterior cushions offer extra comfort while sailing, and the included cover provides protection when the boat is not in use.
Performance and Motorization
The boat is equipped with a powerful Owens Flagship inboard engine with 225 hp, featuring eight cylinders. This engine, built in 1997 and with only 67 operating hours, offers a cruising speed of approximately 23 km/h and a top speed of about 56 km/h. The engine is electrically started and runs on gasoline, with a fuel tank of 80 liters. Thanks to this configuration, the boat is suitable for both leisurely trips and sporty voyages on lakes and rivers.
The steering is done via a steering wheel, placed in the open cockpit. The boat is equipped with various instruments, including a fuel gauge, oil pressure gauge, temperature gauge, and tachometer. For navigation, there is a depth gauge, compass, and log/speedometer, making sailing on inland waters clear and safe.
Equipment and Safety
The Chris Craft Capri 19 is equipped with an electric bilge pump, a lifebuoy, and a manual anchor winch with chain. The boat has a 12v electrical system with a battery charger and voltmeter. Fenders and lines are included, making docking easier. The boat underwent maintenance in 2023 and also received an antifouling treatment at that time.
Includes Road Trailer
The boat comes with a road trailer of the type SP6001, with a load capacity of 2500 kg. The trailer is equipped with two axles, a trailer winch, and tires of size 205/14B. Thanks to the license plate, the trailer is immediately ready for road transport, significantly increasing the boat's mobility.
Sailing Experience and Usage Possibilities
This Chris Craft Capri 19 has been used for both recreational and commercial purposes, mainly on inland waters such as lakes and rivers. The combination of classic appearance, powerful engine, and comfortable equipment makes this boat suitable for a wide range of sailing activities.
