If you want a great Riviera (Carver model 4207) - THIS is the one - from a functionality, comfort and safety / reliability and optional equipment standpoint.
- Most Rivieras have some (if not most)28 to 35 year old mechanicalsas
reflected in their book value and current asking prices.
- This one has a 30 hour old
major drive train rebuild worth over $12-15K
- Removal required a trolly
(under the hard top), chain-falls and a crane
- The Buy It Now price assumes that noneof the knownremainingTasks at the time of sale (see
list at end of this listing) have been accomplished.
It also hasmany "optional extras" and upgradesbeyond the power train (i.e.; Hardtop, generator, new upholstery, water heater, Inverter, etc.). This has a true aft cabin in which a 6'2" person can stand up in - not one of those silly mid-ship cubby holes under the helm
This Rivera is a close as you can get to a new boat whose equivalent would be over $200K. It has many advantages of an older style like many large / airy ports holes and wide side decks for sure-footed line handling.
