1954 Chris-Craft Riviera16ft

The stylish runabout was popular with buyers back in the 1950’s.  The Riviera is an attractive looking traditional 50’s runabout, with soft flowing lines, distinctive nose and low, speedboat styled windshield.

Fully restored from top to bottom, no expense spared. This boat was originally purchased brand new here in Washington NC in 1953... has spent many of its years on Lake Gaston and has returned here to the shores of the Pamlico River to be restored.  

Fully restored to better than original condition. Total Riviera production of the 16' runabout between 1950 & 1954 was only 174 – 16′ models built.  New bottom with fiberglass added. Original Hercules 60-hp Model B. Gauges original and reconditioned. Original custom trailer. Must see to appreciate. Sold new by McCotters Marina in 1954.
