Riva Ariston gebraucht

Defined by its legendary heritage, this 1958 Riva Ariston stands as a prime example of the most famous and long-lived wooden motorboat ever produced by the shipyard. With a length of 6.47 meters and a beam of 2.16 meters, this classic vessel captures the quintessential Italian style of the mid-20th century, offering an intimate experience for up to 6 passengers. This specific vessel, belonging to the first series of the Ariston line, benefits from extensive recent restoration work. The construction features a marine plywood hull and laminated topsides, meticulously maintained. Recent upgrades include five fresh coats of varnish, complete polishing of all chrome hardware, and a thorough inspection of the bottom screws, ensuring the hull remains in excellent condition. Performance remains true to the Riva legacy, with a maximum speed of 36 knots and a comfortable cruising speed of 28 knots. The original Chris-Craft engine, featuring correct matching numbers, was recently removed and fully overhauled, currently recording zero hours of use. This ensures the mechanical reliability of the craft while preserving its historical authenticity. This used boat is currently located in Italy and is offered at 155.000 EUR. The VAT is paid, providing a clear title for the next owner. Prospective buyers seeking a piece of boating history that has been preserved with modern precision will find this Ariston a unique opportunity to own a restored icon of design and craftsmanship.
