People's Choice Winner of the 25th Annual Chris Craft Rendezvous in 2014, Riva, is one of the few Chris Craft's that has had a wonderful history of great owners who have cherished and upgraded this vessel throughout its lifetime. Riva was never a restoration project as this yacht has continually been maintained and upgraded. Not too often does an opportunity arrive to own one of America's classic, iconic and restored Chris Craft's. Riva, a freshwater moored yacht, is powered by economical and dependable 6-71 Detroit's. Riva will burn 10-12 GPH at a comfortable 12 knot cruise. If the weather cools off then switch on the Espar 2 zone hydronic heating system which will evenly heat the boat to a comfortable temperature. With an upgraded King bed in the master stateroom, Riva will ensure a good nights sleep on an iconic vessel.
