Capri Houseboats - has anybody heard of a Capri house boat?

Capri houseboats - a rare house boat model?

Capri houseboats - a rare house boat model?

Searching for Capri houseboats, and has anybody heard of a Capri house boat? You don't list Capri houseboats as a manufacturer.

I found one boat on Lake Allatoona north of Atlanta that was a Capri house boat. I think it was a 1968. It was the same style but not in good condition.

Our boat (1967 Capri) has been surveyed and is in excellent condition. We are trying to sell it and there are no comparables.

Therefore we are pricing her based on what we paid for it and then adding a total, repaint top to bottom, new gel coat, new marine head etc...

I know they manufactured houseboats because we found this one other boat. How can I find out anything about the manufacturer?

Any help would be appreciated, Sylvia.

Well Sylvia, welcome to the houseboat forums, and sorry to hear about the rarity of information on the Capri houseboats.

Unfortunately, I personally have not heard of the Capri model until you submitted this post.

Hopefully one of readers who has any information on this boat can share any tips or ideas for you.

Possibly they only manufactured them for a short period of time, and then were bought out by a competitor.


Lastly, hopefully some of our readers will share and post comments about any Capri houseboat information or experiences. Feel free to use the "Click here to post comments." link found near the bottom of this page.

I own a Capri Houseboat!
by: Kerryciated

I own a 1969 39' Capri. It is on lake Quachita in Arkansas. Mine has a 3.8L V6 which I am told is a Buick. Any information you have on these houseboats would be greatly appreciated.

The history of Capri Houseboats
by: collier_marine_1900@yahoo.com

Capri and Capri XL houseboats were made in Atlanta, Georgia during the 1960's by Col. Dee Springs. He was a boat dealer that made one at a time in the rear of his service shop at the intersevtion of I-85 and Cheshire Bridge Road.

The vessel's hulls were made of steel. There is not much of a market for steel houseboats because no marinas in the Atlanta are allowing new steel bottomed houseboats to come into their marinas.
