THE REFIT PROJECT

Complete Prestigious Refitting – Signed Elica

Acquired by the new owner after a period of inactivity, this boat presented itself as the ideal candidate for an exhaustive integral refitting project, carefully curated by Elica in every detail, aimed at restoring its original splendor while integrating the most modern on-board technologies.

The Exteriors

Externally, the bodywork operations saw the complete repainting of the hull in the classic and refined original cream color, enhanced by the bold contrasts in glossy black on the windows and the upper part of the hull. At the same time, all stainless steel elements were disassembled and restored with a chrome-plating and mirror-polishing cycle, while the old deck covering was completely removed to make way for new 12mm solid teak flooring on the cockpit and stern platform. In this area, the custom-made stern door stands out: designed through CAD relief of the hull's dimensions, respecting the original Riva design, the structure was lightened by replacing the glass with a multilayer and polyform core. The interventions on deck are completed with the restoration of all external furniture, repainted in elegant matte white, the complete renewal of the upholstery, and the creation of a bar & galley area equipped with two refrigerators, ice maker, and a custom kitchen unit with induction hob and retractable cover.

The Home Automation System

Particular attention was paid to the helm station and on-board technology. The console, also disassembled and repainted, now boasts a finish with the official Riva logo finely silkscreened and houses a modern home automation system managed by a Raymarine 120 Action Pro display, thanks to which it is possible to monitor in real-time the tank levels, the state of the portholes, and the images from the rear camera. The audio-video comfort is guaranteed by a 500W Fusion Hi-Fi system with multi-zone management and smartphone control, extended between interiors, cockpit, and sunbathing areas.

The Interiors

The internal environments were the subject of a profound redesign of the layout. The previous division of the stern area into two cabins gave way to a spectacular master cabin with a raised floor, enriched by a storage bed and custom-made side furniture created by master carpenters using CAD, who also carved out a cozy guest cabin with a French single bed to starboard. The dinette was enhanced by a custom-made sofa and a TV system with a 120” screen, integrated by new TVs in each cabin. The entire internal surface was finished with high-quality carpeting and equipped with a state-of-the-art air conditioning system, accompanied by a high-speed Wi-Fi network.

The Engines

Finally, the intervention on the technical and propulsion plane was radical: the engine room now houses two new 1550 CV engines paired with ZF 2070 in-line V-Drive inverters, accompanied by a new 2 kW Mase generator. The work was completed with the total renovation of the electrical, hydraulic, and air conditioning systems, guaranteeing the boat maximum reliability and safety standards equal to new.
