| Riva Olympic
(1969 - 1983)
Named after the Mexico Olympics
of 1968, the Olympic was introduced in 1969 to replace
the Super Florida. Its design was similar to the Junior
in many respects, albeit that the sides were painted
in transparent varnish.
The last wooden motorboat to be
designed by Cantieri Riva, the design of the Olympic
did not evolve over time, and all boats were the same
length, 6.55 metres. Although it continued to be produced
until 1983, the majority of the 274 production run was
built prior to 1975. Nearly all Olympic boats carried
220 or 270 hp Riva badged engines.
