Defined by its heritage as the first unit of the series, this 1972 Riva Rudy stands as a unique piece of boating history. Unlike later production models designed for fiberglass, this specific vessel was constructed entirely from wood. It represents the pinnacle of craftsmanship for those who appreciate the transition between the Junior and Olympic lines, offering the classic utility and open deck layout that defines the brand.
Following a complete professional restoration, the vessel is in excellent condition. Major structural updates include a new deck, new bottom, and a new transom, alongside the application of the West Epoxy System to the hull for longevity. The hardware on deck has been renewed, and the engine instrumentation has been fully serviced. With a new Edelbrock carburetor and a fully overhauled engine and inverter, this boat is ready for immediate enjoyment. Since its restoration, it has been used exclusively in fresh water.
This 5.87-meter boat features a deep, walkaround cockpit designed for safety, making it an excellent choice for families or water sports enthusiasts. With a maximum capacity of six people, it serves perfectly as a high-end tender or a dedicated craft for water skiing and recreational fishing. The design remains sophisticated, incorporating mahogany details like the side handrails and the storage shelf located behind the helm seat.
This Riva Rudy is currently located in Italy and is offered at 65.000 EUR with VAT paid. The purchase includes a double-axle transport trailer, ensuring ease of logistics for the new owner. Please contact us for further details regarding this singular, meticulously preserved classic.
