Riva Ariston, start up.

[@johnshields6852]

I was born in 1960, grew up on the ocean, love boats in general but that year riva was a sweet boat, beautiful classic.

[@aleoimpala]

This boat is perfect. The shape, the color, the vibe, the sound...

[@TheLM1961]

Thanks!

[@peterbest5938]

Not quite perfect but it’s been nicely restored

[@keithmckinnon7047]

We had a few Centuries a Chris and a Higgins. Love the classy Mahogany. Beautiful Riva.

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

Dear Dutch rebel. Good grief, what a fantastic piece of artwork. I simply love this kind of wooden boats, especially Riva of course. Congrats to owe such a gorgeous one. Best regards.

[@SagaAcademica]

Hey! What is going on with this beautiful boat today? To me this is the perfect V8 sound. This is it.

[@dobermanpac1064]

Fabulous

[@fatguy140ify]

Oh god the zebra, why the zebra

[@jkoysza1]

I don't care if the zebra and the blue plastic are like the original furnishings. It is awful. When I own one I will change it to pleated leather and dark wood.

[@keepitreal829]

100k?? Or more. Really awesome some day

[@AlessioDan]

TOP CLASS!!!!!!! :)

[@stephan9745]

[@jonsmith4669]

What a gorgeous boat ,Riva are like the Rolls Royce of small craft,BIG engines ! what is the engine in this one? I'm just finishing restoring a model of a Tritone in mahogany ect. leather seats,nicely made but had been neglected.

[@TheLM1961]

Thanks, the engine is a chevy, 283 cubic inch, 4.3 liter, what are the dimensions of your model Tritone?

[@jonsmith4669]

Dutch rebel Thanks,your Chevy Sounds beautiful,the model 26 inches long,its made just like a real Riva with individual strips of Mahogany and other woods, very detailed, beautifully hand made,they are available in various sizes too,on Ebay. from Vietnam and the States.

[@TheLM1961]

Thanks, i will look, maybe they do have a Ariston also?

[@jonsmith4669]

Dutch rebel Thers are at least 6, different sizes some from the States....they looks beautiful.

[@TheLM1961]

Yes, they certainly look nice.

[@MM-jx9si]

What is that hinge called you used to open the engine hatch?

[@DanielmSwart]

Its a custom piece made by riva

[@nicksumpter]

What a beautiful boat, she looks perfect! My father has a 1964 Boesch 560 Deluxe runabout (kzbin.info/www/bejne/apXLnKaZZdernZo ) but unfortunately, she is a long way from the condition of this beauty, maybe one day, haha!

[@konstantinruhl8309]

One my family has the Last One

[@jimmygrant3212]

Wrong gauges and the varnish on the dash looks like it was put on with a rag.

[@Kalvarija]

OMG!!!

[@scottyjones27]

Fine machine is that lose rocker arm or bent push rod it mite just b lifter that's not pumped up fully yet? making that whack sound but I'm just old hillbilly that's feared of deep water!!!

[@TheLM1961]

You are right, the engine runs in its first hour after overhauling, we let him run on purpose with somewhat lose rockers, Thanks voor de comment!

[@usatan41]

ランボルギーニのエンジンちゃうやん～

[@shinobi6211]

Chrysler engine?

[@TheLM1961]

No; It's a GM283 Chris Craft.

[@shinobi6211]

Dutch rebel the original motor at Riva chris craft , After Riva installing Chrysler engine excuse me i'm french my english is basic 😃

[@TheLM1961]

Hello Shinobi 62 Actually in this particular year (1960) there were only three N type Ariston installed with a Chrijsler engine; and this was one of them, because these Chrijsler engines were very unreliable with many cooling problems; that's why we chose to install a GM283 that was also used in this same year and years after. Riva also uses Crusader and later Crusader and GM engines under its own brandname. Thank for the interest, Cheers, .

[@shinobi6211]

Dutch rebel it's cool to keep installing a engine compared at the same years of boat it's a exellent Idea for me

[@TheLM1961]

Thanks!

[@michaelintile7836]

Damn, it's porn!

[@LucyvanHeide]

She is so beautiful.. Is it a 61 Ariston? In another video you drive along some beautiful waterstreets. Can you tell the main region where it is so very beautiful to live?

[@TheLM1961]

It is a 60 Ariston, the region is Giethoorn, also called the Dutch Venice. Thanks for the nice complements.

[@LucyvanHeide]

Dutch rebel Hey Dutch Rebel Friend, Thank you so much for your answer. My wife and me love the netherlands so very much, we would love to move there some day. Our favourite region is Delfgauw near Delft and Rotterdam so far. As an engineer I always wanted friends which I could work with to restore boats or even build up small prototypes. And by the way: your kawasaki jet project is pure awsomeness. That is how life should get ;-) Thanks again!

[@TheLM1961]

Hello Friend, We in Holland always dream about the French riviera...... The Kawasaki jet was the final little big project, I am close to 60, so i go to pick up my other hobby (RC modeling) which is more manageable, but I never say never..... Cheers!

[@LucyvanHeide]

Dutch rebel Hey dear Friend, close to 60 is the new 35. I am in the mid 40s and hope it will never ever be to late to start something. Having read about the french louis de funes coast thing I must say: I understand you. What I love about holland is the uncomplicated way of moderness :-) and a great entrepreneurs spirit. Renewable energy everywhere. Not talking - doin' it. Thats What I love..

[@AJyfm700R]

This should be uploaded to pornhub.

[@federicogervasoni8314]

Nice video, but unfortunately there’s nothing original in that boat, it’s like seeing another model, not a Riva.

[@TheLM1961]

The tiger print was only a temporary solution as the specific wood was not available at that time during the first trial run, then only the dashboard gauges remain, these were no longer salvageable, so only the gauges are not original, but everything else I can you assure that it is 100% original

[@federicogervasoni8314]

@@TheLM1961 I was talking about the black upholstery, the missing ferrules around the drainpipes and some modification made at the engine (main switch, douple kelp filters, missing risers(?) etc.) Anyway the boat looks great and very clean, you should be a good owner👍🏻
