Experience the legacy of one of the most famous motorboats ever designed with this 1958 Riva Ariston. As part of the prestigious first series, this wooden vessel showcases the dedicated craftsmanship that made the model the longest-running production run in the brand's history. With a length of 6.47 meters and a beam of 2.16 meters, this boat maintains the classic proportions and high-quality materials that define an era of nautical excellence. This specific Ariston has been meticulously maintained, currently presented in excellent condition. Recent restoration efforts include a complete five-coat paint application, polished chromework, and a thorough inspection of the hull fastenings. The structural integrity is supported by marine plywood hull and laminated sides, consistent with the construction methods of its time. Performance remains a hallmark of this model, capable of a cruising speed of 28 knots and a maximum speed of 36 knots. The power plant consists of the original matching-number Chris-Craft engine, which has been removed, completely overhauled, and now registers zero hours. With a draft of just 0.47 meters, the boat is well-suited for coastal and lake use. Accommodating up to six people, this motorboat is designed for enthusiasts who appreciate the intersection of luxury and performance. Whether you are an avid collector of vintage vessels or seeking a statement craft for day outings, this piece of maritime history delivers a unique combination of aesthetic appeal and mechanical reliability.
