1969 Riva Junior
The Riva Junior was produced from 1966 to 1972 with only 626 examples made. When introduced in 1966 it was designed to replace the Riva Florida. Conceived for utility use and ease of maintenance it was typified by a large cockpit that could be walked round the engine cover and driving seat. The sides and transom were normally painted white, but this example has beautiful mahogany hull sides. The design of the transom, also used for the Olympic, had the purpose of protecting the passengers from spray from the stern. The Riva Junior was launched with the slogan, ”It’s the young people’s rocket”. The cockpit is equipped along its sides by a large mahogany grab rail with an elaborate front stay of chrome plated bronze incorporating the engine air intakes. In 1972 the Junior was replaced by the Rudy, of very similar design and slightly longer, but made of fiberglass.
This 1969 Riva Junior received the highest in quality of restoration which was completed in 2018 and was done by Northwest Classic Boats. It took over $175k to complete the restoration with no expense spared including a no soak West System bottom and the upgrade from painted white hull sides to mahogany hull sides. This Riva won a 1st place award at the prestigious Lake Tahoe Concours d’Elegance boat show after the restoration was completed.
Power comes from a Riva Crusader V8 with 190 hp. The engine was rebuilt in during the restoration in 2018 but the tachometer still shows the original engine hours of 458.0.
The boat comes with Riva fenders, a mahogany fold down swim ladder, a custom full waterline cover, and a 2016 Ryan Trailers dual axle trailer.

$125,000.001940 Gar Wood 19ft Custom Runabout
Gar Wood Boats’ success was directly tied to owner Garfield Wood’s dominance in winning almost every race he ever entered. His hands-on designs and special engine configurations were considered the leading technology of the era. Gar Woods are among the most sought-after and valuable boats on today’s classic wooden boat market.
This 1940 Gar Wood Custom Runabout named “Cracker Jack” was purchased by the Kilpatrick Sales Corporation and received on July 2nd, 1940 in St. Louis, Missouri. It was used for recreation and transportation on the Mississippi River in the Clarksville area. In 1964 the boat, along with a collection of antique cars, was involved in a warehouse fire where is suffered damage. It was finally restored in 1984 when the original owners moved to Spokane Washington and had Sid Young of Stan Craft perform the work. The current sellers purchased the boat from the original owners on October 19th, 2012 and transported it from Spokane, Washington to Nevada City, California where Curtis Bauman and Aaron Gack completely restored “Cracker Jack” to its original condition.
“Cracker Jack” is powered by a Chrysler Crown 6 cylinder with 103 hp. It was rebuilt by John Allen in 2012. Stanley Marshall provided the upholstery work using real leather throughout. The boat features a “no soak” fiberglass bottom which was done during the restoration in 2012 as well. The deck, hull sides and transom varnish are in excellent condition. The upholstery has been meticulously maintained and is original in styling. The boat is protected by a custom full waterline cover and comes with a 2013 California Trailer Works dual axle custom trailer.
“Cracker Jack” won “BEST GAR WOOD OF SHOW” award in the 2016 Lake Tahoe Concours d’ Elegance boat show.
Records available as well as a complete book with pictures of the restoration in 2012.
