The SUV's confident offshore poise comes, to a large degree, from Riviera's leading-edge CAD technology and legendary build quality that combine super strong hand layups with solid GRP bottom and structural core material on the hull flanks, main deck and hardtop, as well as precisely fitted lightweight resin transfer moldings, pre-fitted for a perfect seal when all major components are bonded together. A great deal of our acumen regarding hull shape has contributed to, for example, aft chine strakes that have a straight run, to enhance both speed and maneuverability, as well as a moderate Vee shape going forward, to a precise 14.5-degree dead-rise at the transom to stay beautifully composed in a choppy quarter sea without diminishing top end performance.
