79 Riviera Jet For Sale

Did someone ever pick this one up? They sure look like nice boats. What kinda speeds are they good for with around 450 hp?

I'd guess somewhere in the high 60's to low 70's depending on the pump. When I bought mine it had an old Steele Marine short block out of a K-boat, with heavy TRW flat-top blower slugs in it, nothing really wild for a cam, a single 830 holley on a tunnel ram and it was running mid-70's on GPS with only a droop and diverter on the pump. Very solid boat, and yes, can be made quite fast.

Yes the boat is still FOR SALE. There are some changes in pricing though, he has put a new engine in it since we posted it for sale. If you are interested in it with the engine, the price is $6000.00 OBO , If you would like it LESS ENGINE, Asking price is $4500.00 OBO.
With 450 horse power I would say this boat would run 70-75 MPH maybe faster. The engine in it right now is stock and it runs 68 MPH on GPS.
