This classic Italian powerboat, Cranchi Clipper 760, underwent a complete refit in 2015 and a cabin refit in 2021. A nice choice for those looking for a stylish open that is a bit vintage. Equipped with two Mercruisers of 220 HP each, she offers impressive performance: the engines have 324 hours on them. The manifolds were recently replaced, ensuring efficiency and safety. The boat is in good condition, with a new hull cover, winch and refrigerator. The original Nardi steering wheel and Grundig cassette radio add a touch of nostalgia, while the large iron pot with high-quality wheels ensures maneuverability and stability in all situations.

In our classifieds section is a Capelli Cap 23 Open, year 2000, a versatile powerboat that looks well maintained. Take a look at the main engine because the hours are certainly not low: it has a 225 hp Mercury Optimax engine with about 900-1000 hours on it and a second Mercury 9.9 four-stroke engine. Besides this boat has always received annual indoor storage and regular maintenance at an authorized workshop. She features a dual CE B/C approval, electric windlass and a 2023 Garmin Striker Vivid 7CV depth sounder. With a fuel capacity of 250 liters and a 50-70 liter freshwater tank, she is perfect as a bathing boat allowing for good range. The bow and stern cushions provide comfort, while the woods on board have always been treated, keeping the boat in excellent condition.
