Riva RUDY gebraucht

Defined by its heritage as the first unit ever produced in the series, this 1972 Riva Rudy represents a unique opportunity for collectors. Unlike later production models designed for fiberglass, this specific vessel was constructed entirely from wood. Recently subjected to an extensive restoration, the boat features a new deck, new bottom, and a fully rebuilt transom. The hull has been sealed using the West Epoxy System, ensuring structural integrity while preserving the classic aesthetic. Performance remains a hallmark of this utility design, reaching a maximum speed of 36 knots with a cruising speed of 28 knots. The engine and inverter have been completely overhauled, complemented by the installation of a new Edelbrock carburetor and reconditioned motor instrumentation. Since the restoration, the boat has been used exclusively in fresh water and remains in impeccable condition. Designed by Architect Barilani, the model emphasizes versatility, serving effectively as a tender or a platform for water sports. The deep walkaround cockpit layout provides safety for up to 6 passengers, incorporating elegant mahogany details such as side handrails and a rear storage shelf that balance modern utility with traditional craftsmanship. This classic wood boat is currently located in Italy and is offered at 55.000 EUR. The sale includes a dual-axle transport trailer to facilitate movement. The price has been recently reduced, and the vessel is sold with VAT paid. For further details on this historically significant Riva, please contact our brokerage office.
