1978 Riva Olympic
About This Yacht
This 1978 Riva Olympic is a classic wooden speedboat representing the final production run of the model. At just over 21 feet, it features the extended bow design that distinguished the later generation, paired with a 270-horsepower Riva Crusader engine for spirited performance on the water.
The boat is a two-owner example that retains much of its original character. It was in use through the previous summer, though it will benefit from recommissioning and maintenance before returning to regular service.
The wooden hull and traditional Riva craftsmanship are hallmarks of this era. Prospective buyers should budget for inspection and any work needed to bring the boat back into full operation.
