Who's boat is that? That IS your boat.
Now for the decision huh?
Keep the B and the Riviera?
Have your brother put one together?
Not a bad situation to be in.
From what I was reading, Barrons and Rivieras accelerate hard in the straights, but do not handle the turns as well as a Biesmeyer.
I am sure some of the old skoolers will hop in. :)

Hey Don, where's this raised cap rail you said the boat had??????
These boats were originally designed by Rusty B for Julian P. Julian didn't like it (crashed it) and returned the molds to Rusty. Rusty sold them to Al Burns and whallah,,,,the Riviera was born.
Its should have a higher deck seam than a Barron sprint.
1986 National champion in SS Max Harding in a Riviera.
