riva junior Used

Presented at the Genoa Boat Show in 1966 as the "bomb of young people", the Riva Junior is a very valid example of a versatile motorboat capable of combining the familiar aspect with the playful one linked to the practice of sea sports. Carlo Riva's goal is to create a boat that is easy to steer and maintain so as to allow its owners (even younger ones) to safely practice activities such as fishing and water skiing, enjoying sea life to the fullest. There are several elements that make this model unique, starting with the bulwarks painted with white orange peel enamel typical of the American utility vessels of the Sixties. Another singular aspect is the shape of the stern which, instead of being barrel-shaped like the classic Riva runabouts, has an outward protrusion so as to protect passengers from the spray of the sea in downwind gaits. A further peculiarity are the bollards which, instead of being traditional cleats, are ring-shaped to make any hauling/launching operations easier. Like all Riva motorboats, the Junior has also included important owners of the international jet set including Brigitte Bardot, Liz Taylor and Richard Burton.
The model in question was launched in 1967 and is in excellent general condition. The engine was completely overhauled and serviced in 2019
It is therefore a boat ready to the buoy and does not require intervention.
A sworn appraisal attests to the excellent condition of the boat, which has the original documents issued by the Riva Shipyard.

The deck layout includes a single large cockpit that can be easily walked on while standing protected by the bulwarks and refined mahogany handrails fixed on chrome-plated bronze supports and terminals. The engine hood is in the central area of the cockpit and serves as a base for housing a mattress that connects to the aft seats, thus becoming a single large sunbathing area. Forward of the engine compartment, in addition to a practical wooden storage shelf, are the pilot and co-pilot seats that serve the characteristic automotive-derived wheelhouse protected by a wrap-around windshield on a chrome profile. Elegant and distinctive of the Shipyard, are the color combinations of the vipla upholstery focused on the cream shades of the dashboard and turquoise shades of the seats, backrests, joker and sun mattress
