I prefer the old Super Aquarama myself. I know quite a few people who have one. They (do you 'drive' a boat?) are terrible to handle. But look stylish.

And that Rivarama is pretty expensive too. I would count on an about 400k easily. But the woodies are more expensive. They're not being made anymore, so you have to look for them on the 2nd hand market.

Hanxter, that is a very attractive boat!

luxury.

however, i don´t imagine i´ll ever be in a position to own one, so i´ll have to settle for this...

damn that boat is sweet ... I could only wish for a Seadoo Challenger jet boat

Still, I would go for the Classic Riva Super Aquarama

Or, if you'd want a new boat the Colombo 32 is the excellent replacement for Riva. Only more expensive.

In the same price class the Monte Carlo Offshorer 32 is the best buy. Riva looks, but the boat actually handles well and is much faster.
