Classic Boat With Lambo Engine

Works of art those boats are beautiful.

 

There wasn't a great deal that wasn't replaced!

 

Far nicer than anything Ikea produces and the plus side...you get a wow burble.

 

Nice use of Teak.

 

now you're talking! - lovely.

 

Whoever was doing the planing should be bollocked for not using a push stick (safety).

I tend to avoid stuff like this sort of richman's project because though I do appreciate its merits. I am not of any sort of league too ever be included or attempt such staggeringly gorgeous level of expertise & execution.

 

How beautiful !!! I loved the video. Made me feel incredibly good. Just remembering what humanity is capable of.

Thank you for posting this!!!

Truly beautiful things. Design classics

 

Just beautiful. I'm in awe of craftsmanship like this, what a wonderful project.
As Guillaume said, it's a reminder of what humanity is capable of.
Thanks for posting.

 

Thoroughly enjoyed that

thanks for posting

 

And just to make you jealous I used to drive these for people in my summer holidays, can think of worse jobs! Reminds me of riding helmetless in shorts and flip flops!

 

I,drove them, and many other Rivas in the late seventies-, they had 2x 350bhp engines, V8 iirc. The problem wasn’t the use of throttle more the clients daughters.

 

These boats look fast standing still, if only Italians could match reliability with style.

 

Funnily enough never had any issues with them over several years use.

 

I worked for the Marine Division of Chrysler Corp. for a number of years so got to ride in or drive quite a lot of different sports/power boats and Riva's are total class. We had a Lamborghini powered race boat in our yard for a while , the sound of the motors running up was epic and travelling at close to 100 mph on water is something else

 

That is truly awesome!

 

Is there anything the Italians don’t do well? X
