    Okay everyone. Let me apologize if this video has already been shared. This is the 28 minute feature of the only Lamborghini powered Riva wood boat. It was produced by my good friend Sandro Zani of RivaWorld. HE restored our Riva SuperAquarama # 125 in 2005-7. Many of you have endured the reality of a restoration gone wrong. I can tell you from personal and first hand experience that working with Sandro was nothing short of a dream. On time, on budget, and spectacular results. The first link is to the boat he restored for us. The highest horsepower Riva wood boat ever produced. Twin 396 ci Chevrolet big blocks. The second one is for the one and only Lamborghini powered Riva. Be sure to watch around the 18 minute mark. It's awesome!

    #278 is very beautiful. I always said that for a Riva boat the only appropriate engine is a Lamborghini.

    Fantastic footage. The second video of #278 especially.
    From 17 mins out, when they fire up the twin Lamborghini V12 engines.
    Pure magic.

    Beautiful craftsmanship! Looks like a first rate job.

    You've got an additional 10 carburetors to keep in sync on the Lamborghini. Make sure to save a seat on the boat for your mechanic!

    I'm afraid I think I'd opt for the American engines if I'm owning but if I'm just driving or riding well then OK! :D

    Too bad about the dopey soundtrack versus listening to those engines.

    You can listen to the big Chevrolet engines which made our boat the fastest Riva. Twin 400hp 396 ci.

    Watch at 1:40 and 3:00 minutes for the beast to be unleashed.
