Riva Ariston gebraucht

Timeless elegance defines this 1968 Riva Ariston, a legendary runabout that represents the pinnacle of classic wooden boat craftsmanship. Measuring 6.8 meters in length with a 2.2-meter beam, this vessel belongs to the celebrated second series of the Ariston production line. Built with high-quality marine plywood, the hull reflects the meticulous attention to detail that made this model the most enduring in the Riva lineup. Equipped with its original matching-number Riva V8 220 HP engine, this boat delivers a cruising speed of 28 knots and a maximum speed of 35 knots. Having served only four owners, including a notable VIP, the boat has spent the last several years operating exclusively in freshwater. The structure currently retains its original wood components and instrumentation, maintaining the authentic character of this 1968 build. This used boat is currently in good condition but provides an ideal foundation for a collector seeking to perform select restoration work to return the vessel to its original luster. With a shallow draft of 0.47 meters, it remains perfectly suited for coastal and inland water navigation. This Riva Ariston is located in Italy, with VAT paid.
