Ship history
Introduced in 1963, Riva Aquarama was developed from the twin-engined Tritone. It is the last heir to the tradition of mahogany runabouts and is still built today as it was 30 years ago.
The kit includes a laser-cut wooden hull structure with double planking, seats upholstered in imitation leather, chrome-plated brass fittings, detailed interiors, plans and instructions. The model is suitable for electric propulsion and radio control.
Modellers wishing to build an R/C version can use the specially prepared kit, following the booklet’s instructions.
Optional motorisation kit 1608/02: 2 motors, 2 gearboxes, 2 propeller shafts with stern tubes, 2 propellers, 2 tillers and an electronic speed controller.
