Timeless craftsmanship defines this 1967 Riva Junior, a 5.5-meter wooden speedboat that perfectly bridges the gap between family-friendly utility and high-performance marine sport. With a beam of 2.17 meters and a draft of 0.45 meters, this classic vessel is designed for agility on the water, capable of reaching a maximum speed of 36 knots and cruising comfortably at 28 knots.
The engine underwent a comprehensive overhaul in 2022 to ensure reliable performance. Maintenance included the replacement of pistons, camshaft bushings, main and connecting rod bearings, the fuel pump, spark plugs, and coil. Additionally, the crankshaft was reground, and all oils and filters were replaced to bring the mechanical condition up to current standards.
Designed with an emphasis on deck utility, the layout features a spacious cockpit secured by elegant mahogany handrails mounted on chrome-plated bronze supports. The central engine housing serves as a base for a sunbathing mattress that connects to the aft seating, creating a large, integrated lounge area. Forward of the engine bay, the helm station remains true to its automotive-inspired roots, shielded by a wrap-around windshield with a chrome profile.
This used boat displays the iconic design language associated with the yard, featuring a distinctive color palette of cream-toned upholstery and turquoise seating, backrests, and sunbeds. It stands as a refined example of vintage maritime engineering, available now for 55.000 EUR.
