Classic wooden boat enthusiasts have a rare opportunity to acquire this 1937 Riva Fuoribordo Diporto. Designed by Gerolamo Caviglia and Serafino Riva, this 4.5-meter motorboat represents a unique chapter in maritime history, dating from before series production was officially registered. The hull features a double-crossed cedar bottom, simple planked walls, and a 3mm mahogany plywood deck, while the interior showcases cedar frames with ash wood slats.
This specific vessel is a project boat that requires total restoration. It is offered to the market as a rare collector's item and is sold without an engine. The layout consists of a single large cockpit equipped with two rows of benches, a configuration originally designed for family use. The combination of its age and its design provenance makes this a significant find for those dedicated to preserving historical mahogany craft.
As a used boat requiring extensive work, the vessel is priced at 15.000 EUR. The VAT is paid. Please note that the boat does not include an engine and is sold in its current as-is condition. For serious collectors interested in the provenance and technical details of this project, further information is available upon request.
