Rudy

Defined by its heritage as the very first hull of the series, this 1972 Riva Rudy represents a rare opportunity for collectors. Unlike later models transitioned to fiberglass, this specific vessel retains its original wood construction. It has undergone a comprehensive professional restoration, including a new deck, new bottom, a reconstructed transom, and the application of a West Epoxy System to the hull, ensuring its longevity for years to come. The hardware has been updated, and the engine and transmission have been fully overhauled to ensure peak performance. Measuring 5.87 meters in length with a 2.18-meter beam, this open utility boat provides a safe and comfortable walkaround cockpit. With a maximum capacity of 6 people, it remains an ideal platform for water sports such as water skiing or casual day cruising. The boat reaches a top speed of 36 knots and cruises comfortably at 28 knots, offering the spirited performance expected from the brand. This vessel has been maintained with extreme care by its current owner and has been used exclusively in freshwater following its restoration. The sale includes a double-axle transport trailer, adding significant value for the new owner. With the VAT already paid in Italy, this is a turnkey classic ready for its next chapter. It stands as a testament to the design work of Architect Barilani, featuring signature mahogany accents on the side rails and storage compartments that contrast beautifully with its refined finish. For those interested in this exceptional piece of marine history, the boat is currently available for inspection in Italy.
