Defined by its compact utility design and inspired by American watersports boats, this 1967 Rio Paranà is a pristine example of vintage craftsmanship. With an overall length of 5.6 meters and a beam of 2 meters, this vessel is perfectly sized for coastal days, offering an agile ride with a cruising speed of 28 knots and a maximum speed of 38 knots.
Following meticulous care from previous owners, including a notable French collector, this used boat has undergone comprehensive restoration to preserve its heritage. Significant works completed in 2020 include a full reconstruction of the hull and transom using 12 mm Sapele mahogany, finished with 25 coats of Stoppani varnish. The aesthetic integrity is further maintained through refreshed cockpit cushions, polished deck hardware, and new windshield chrome, complemented by a new protective boat cover.
The vessel's shallow 0.45-meter draft and lightweight composite hull construction make it an ideal selection for enthusiasts of classic runabouts who value both performance and provenance. The interior is rated for a capacity of 5 people, maintaining the intimate utility experience intended by the builder.
This classic motorboat is currently located in Italy and is offered with VAT paid. An optional double-axle MECANOREM trailer with new tires is available for purchase separately at 3,000 EUR. Please contact the brokerage for further documentation or to schedule a viewing of this unique vessel.
