Hi Guys,
My Riviera is complete after around 5 years construction. Launch went
wthout a hitch and the 310hp PCM engine gave us 42 knots on the GPS. Ride
quality & handling are fantastic. Looking forward to a summer of
cruising and skiing. See attached photos.
This is the first boat I have built, other than the models I built as a boy. It has been a very rewarding project, though considerably more work than I had anticipated. The end result is far better than I thought it would be, though I did put in extra effort to assure a quality finish.
My advice to builders would be:
go for it!
be patient!
buy the very best engine you can possibly afford!
Best Regards
