1956 Chris-Craft 30' Capitan Cruiser

Overview

1956 Chris-Craft 30' Capitan Cruiser



This Vintage Chris Craft has just enjoyed a total restoration...More than paint and varnish, it's had planks replaced and refastened, the original engines have been totally rebuilt from the new crank shaft out, along with rebuilt transmissions...there are new bronze elbows, new high-capacity water pumps, new 12V alternators, and more. All paperwork available.

Enjoy new upholstery and canvas, new pumps, new electronics including radar, and even air conditioning. There's really nothing to do except drive her away.

Please contact us to arrange a viewing.
