2006 Riva Aquariva 33
In the 1950’s, under the leadership of Carlo Riva, the company known as Riva Yachts began to cultivate a very prestigious reputation. Because of their dedication to excellence, Riva became the epitome of elegance, craftsmanship and style in the boating world. Using only the finest materials assembled by the most skilled and experienced craftsmen, Carlo Riva built boats for kings and queens, sportsmen, and movie stars.
A direct descendant of the most celebrated Riva of all, the mahogany Aquarama, the Aquariva carries on a boatbuilding tradition which began 168 years ago. It’s a flawless evolution of style, as the Aquariva retains that gorgeous stem-to-stern undulation of its predecessors. From the stainless-steel bow fairlead with integrated hawse to the mahogany and maple foredeck to the teak toe rails and swept windshield, it is hands down one of the world’s most elegant runabouts.
Currently there are four versions of the Riva Aquariva 33 available; the standard Riva version, the Aquariva Super, the Aquariva Gucci, and the Aquariva by Marc Newson. All four boats are essentially the same but differ slightly in styling and details. All models come equipped with an electronically controlled two-speed gearbox which maximizes the sporting potential of the twin 380-hp Yanmar diesel engines. The engines on this vessel have less than 110.0 engine hours, which add up to a mere 10 hours per year. The agility and responsiveness of the Riva Aquariva is what makes this boat truly special, delivering fast acceleration and a top speed of up to 42 knots with a cruising speed at 36 knots. With twin engines and a bow thruster, the captain can dock this 33ft boat with ease. See http://www.riva-yacht.com
The standard navy-blue hull sets off the dark brightwork and contrasts beautifully with the cockpit’s creamy leather and U-shaped aft bench seating. For the captain, a leather helm chair with flip-up bolster provides standing or seated comfort. The Riva Aquariva 33 features a large double berth and a discreet toilet below. For entertaining, there is a pod-style mahogany table, and a wet bar and refrigerator/ice maker. Sun worshipers will appreciate the large transom sun pad, and her swim platform has a ladder for easy water access. Another feature is the electronically activated canopy, which works like a sports car’s cabriolet top. Flip a switch and the clever Bimini top shades the helm area and U-shaped seating area.
This Riva has been inspected and serviced by Sierra Boat, a certified Riva dealer. The exterior mahogany wood was refinished in the fall of 2018. This boat comes on a 2004 Magic Tilt triple axle trailer.
This is a great opportunity to own an Aquariva at the fraction of the cost of a new one!

1937 Gar Wood 25ft Triple Cockpit
$298,000.001937 Gar Wood 25ft Triple Cockpit
$298,000.001937 Gar Wood 25ft Triple Cockpit.
In 1937 Gar Wood built 267 boats, about 100 more than any other year in the 1930s. Midnight Thunder, formerly Triple Time, is one of only nine 25ft runabouts built in 1937, and one of only three 25-footers equipped with the largest engine option, the Scripps 302 V-12. The favored formula for making speedboats go fast in the 1920s and ’30s included a large displacement and low rpm power plant spinning a large propeller. The Scripps V-12 engine, model 302, original to this boat, is no exception to that formula. With a cylinder bore of 4.25 inches and a stroke of 5.25 inches, the displacement totals 894 cubic inches. The engine was said to produce 316 hp at 2,600 rpm.
Midnight Thunder is in excellent condition. From the original Scripps V-12 engine to the period correct original pattern and color leather upholstery. A restoration was completed from 2002-2003 with wood work by Armstrong Boat Works, of Skaneateles, New York, and the engine restoration was completed by noted Scripps specialist George Shinn. The entire bottom of the boat was replaced at this time, including keel, chines, frames, and bottom planking, following Gar Wood specifications. In order to insure reliability and durability, the Scripps engine and transmission were tuned by the experts at Freedom Engine Service in the summer of 2010.
This boat then arrived at Sierra Boat in January of 2013 and has been stored and serviced here ever since. The boat was inspected by Sierra Boat from stem to stern for the Lake Tahoe Concours d’Elgance Boat Show judging. From that inspection a few items were address for the shows with the largest item being new flooring. The engine was set up and tuned for Lake Tahoe’s high-altitude boating and a custom full waterline cover was made. In 2014 the boat was fully restored including deck, hull sides and transom. At this time the name was changed from “Triple Time” to “Midnight Thunder” in gold leaf. Miscellaneous mechanical items from the judging sheet were addressed as well.
At the Concours d’Elgance Boat Show in Lake Tahoe, this 1937 Gar Wood 25ft Triple Cockpit won 2014 Best Gar Wood of Show, 2014 Best of Show Over 23ft, 2017 Best in Show, and 2017 Best Engine.

2013 Cobalt 232 WSS
$69,500.002013 Cobalt 232 WSS
$69,500.002013 Cobalt 232 WSS
The WSS model, Water Sports Series, is not your typical Cobalt. With a professionally designed tower, bold color schemes, ballast tanks, drive trim to adjust the wake and much more, this extreme water sports package offers the advantages of a high-end ski/wake board boat with the classic Cobalt lines and signature deep vee hull. Having a boat that can accommodate all of your water sports activities and still be able to handle the rough waters on Tahoe is a true luxury.
Wake boarding and skiing enthusiasts have some very specific performance requirements. Tow boats need to be quick on plane, stay on plane at low speeds, and be able to generate a variety of wake shapes. The Cobalt WSS has the quickest time-to-plane in the industry, averaging about four seconds. Plus, a Cobalt’s running surface will hold it on top at speeds where other boats would mush out. For the wake shape, Cobalt’s normal clean wake offers an acceptable skier’s wake but for generating the big waves, Cobalt designers have taken two approaches. One is that these crafts have been treated to a professional-level ballast system. Three tanks, positioned for greatest effect, can be filled, or emptied independently with up to 700 pounds of water. The second, is creating consistency and repeatability for a wake. Cobalt has adopted the Perfect Pass ski boat cruise control and added their own Touch Tech memory system which stores the riders’ preference profiles. A touch of the screen, the tanks fill or empty automatically, and Perfect Pass knows exactly what to do so that you get the perfect personalized wake each time.
This 2013 Cobalt 232 WSS came to Sierra Boat in 2017 where it has been serviced and stored since then. The boat is powered by a Volvo Penta 5.7 GXI engine with 315 hp. It has low engine hours and has been meticulously maintained. The boat comes on a 2016 Magic Tilt tandem axle trailer.
* Pictures, video, and a more detailed description of the boat will be added in spring 2021 when access to the boat from winter storage is gained *
