Junior

Defined by its elegant wood construction and classic Italian design, this 1967 Riva Junior represents a significant example of a versatile runabout. Measuring 5.5 meters in length with a beam of 2.17 meters, this used boat provides a secure and comfortable cockpit protected by mahogany handrails and chrome-plated bronze fittings. The engine bay is positioned centrally, serving as the base for a sunbathing area that connects seamlessly with the aft seating, maintaining the distinctive aesthetic of the yard. The propulsion is handled by a single 180 HP Riva Crusader 180 V8 engine. In 2022, the power plant underwent a comprehensive overhaul, including the replacement of pistons, camshaft bushings, main and connecting rod bearings, crankshaft grinding, gaskets, fuel pump, spark plugs, and coil. With only 30 hours logged since the revision, the engine is prepared for reliable performance, reaching a maximum speed of 36 knots and cruising comfortably at 28 knots. Piloting is a refined experience thanks to the automotive-inspired helm, featuring an original white dished steering wheel and protected by a wraparound windshield with chrome trim. The instrument panel is equipped with specific Riva/VDO gauges, including a tachometer, hour meter, temperature, amperage, and fuel level indicators. The color palette remains faithful to the era, utilizing cream and turquoise tones across the seating, upholstery, and sunbathing pad. This motorboat is well-appointed for days on the water, featuring a full boat cover, a wood swimming ladder, navigation and anchor lights, a blower, and an automatic bilge pump. Practical storage solutions include a wood shelf forward of the engine compartment. Additional equipment includes a bimini top, flagstaff, boat hook, and a classic wood fuel level dipstick. Located in Lombardy, Italy, this vessel is available for inspection.
