Sweet! The Capri ranks among Chris-Craft’s most iconic models in my world. And now we that have completed Pontyak’s preservation, I am every bit a believer as I was before. Jim McDonald once again transformed tired chrome into jewelry. We had to reverse some horrible insults perpetrated by what used to be one of the foremost wood boat shops around. There simply is no excuses for cross-cutting through for deck planking and then replacing part of what was with garbage. The engine hatch cover had been similarly raped. No more …. I hope you will agree that she is again ready to strut her stuff.
June 6, 2021, Pontyack is on her way home, having been fully preserved by Snake Mountain Boatworks LLC over two years. We thank her owner for entrusting saving this iconic Chris-Craft Capri to us.
