Description

The 1998 Riviera 43 Open Flybridge is a proven offshore performer that blends classic Australian craftsmanship with the versatility and comfort serious boaters demand. Built on a solid fiberglass hull with a wide beam, the 43 delivers excellent seakeeping ability, a spacious cockpit for fishing or entertaining, and a well-appointed interior designed for extended cruising.

"Seafood" is a true standout, having benefited from extensive mechanical and cosmetic upgrades. She is powered by freshly rebuilt Caterpillar 3126 diesels with remanufactured long blocks and features a desirable two-stateroom, two-head layout. Additional highlights include newer Garmin electronics, a Fusion stereo system, new polycarbonate flybridge enclosure, new batteries (2024), and a long list of interior and exterior upgrades.

Lovingly maintained by a knowledgeable yachtsman, she comes complete with a dinghy and davit, making her fully outfitted and ready for her next adventure. This Riviera 43 is turn-key and ready for your inspection. If you are looking for a mid sized convertible, she should not be missed!
