Look what arrived in our Marina Yesterday.

A Riva

What a beautiful boat, I was told it was just over 30' in length, I saw it being craned in, It has twin Yamaha Diesels on shafts. But the triming was awesome, with all that well polished mahogany or such.

Surely it rates in the top100 Best Motor Boats.

Oh yes, And its just up for the Loch Lomond Golf Championship this weekend, and then it getting Transported back to France again next week, Apparently!!

Re: Look what ariva\'d in our Marina Yesterday.

Fantastic. The last one I saw was in Monte Carlo with a goddess reclined on the back and a chaffeur-looking guy driving.

Alistairr · 6 Jul 2004

Yes, Its a Riva Aquariva, 33'LOA.
Now i'm sure when i looked in the engine bay yesterday the tops of the engines said 'Yamaha' but i could be wrong. And i see in the specs the engines are Yanmar. So maybe i need new glasses.
The boat has a lovely shape to it. and just looks stunning. I have since heard a rumour that it may(or may not) be a promotional boat from Riva themselves. Possible trying to do some marketing and sales during the golf weekend.

Roy, Its on your pier but is being moved at some point down to Cameron House for the weekend.

I wonder what they were new, I saw this one advertised and told my pal in France, he thought it was worth more

This may be a stupid question but WHY are they so expensive.

Re: rubbish!

No leopard print carpet, just loads and loads of glorious highly polished wood, that the owner doesn't wish to cover./forums/images/icons/laugh.gif/forums/images/icons/wink.gif

Because they are the sexiest, most stylish boats. No expense spared with the finish. Hull design to die for. No need for trim tabs .... they just up and go, riding the waves flat, like a dream. The most fantastic lines. The windscreen is just the dogs !!! stainless steel finish. maintains her top speed regardless of the number of people or bottles on board.

.... and you should see my bathroom. lights all around the mirror, just like Hollywood, AND a bidet !!!

.... and there's more, but i won't bore you.
