The one I like most of all is the Chris Craft Cobra, lovely looking beast.

Great pics, oddly in the picture below I am 99% sure those are my shoes... this picture was taken in Cardiff... and although it may not look as pretty as the Riva's, Queen Gull is a pretty historic boat (WW2 target Boat)

it looks like a minuture gunboat,
I knew a chap who restored a Riva Junior and having been out in that a couple of times I am totally smitten with Riva's, obviously the junior is not the prettiest design, but it still had some magic about her..

....they might be your shoes but I think that is our old Broom 13 with a 50 Merc in the background! Surprising since she was last seen at the back of our Pub on the 19th August 1983.....My Brother woke up to get a new Pair of water skiis and a wetsuit for his birthday.......only issue was someone had nicked the boat (which was never recovered). She was called Marco Paulo.........
Some Memories never fade.....
Lovely clasic boats though, thanks.

That's a tiny boat James, the operator must have his knees hard up under the deck....you wouldn't get much fore-warning on a face full of wind driven bow spray
