Riva Super Aquarama
ZOOM
SUMMARY
One of the most desirable versions of the quintessential Classic Rivas. From 1967, number 215 has plenty of Carlo Riva’s input and attention to detail - ZOOM is one of the last few boats to benefit from better quality chrome fittings and detail before the great man left in 1969.
ZOOM under went an all-encompassing restoration in 2005 at B&C yard and has only done 20 hours since.
All in all a beautiful boat and as good as they come.
