I sure am going to miss being part of such an amazing community. We are replacing the 330 with a Riviera 4400 Sport Yacht. The friendships, resources and great stories this message board has offered is like no other. I'll still be here trolling around and will still be part of the northeast flotilla. Club Sea Ray member for life!
 
Good luck with your Riviera. They make excellent boats.We strongly considered a used Riviera 42 sport fish but the model years we looked did not have stairs to the fly bridge. That ended up being a deal breaker as the admiral wanted her dogs to ride on the bridge with her.

Beautiful boat! Riviera makes a solid boat, that's for sure. Is it a new model? Let us know how she works out for you...
 
Nice boat. Congrats

The fold up back window and door on the side looks exactly like the window and door I have on our boat. You will love that. One of our favorite features.
 
Beautiful boat. There are quite a few in the San Diego area. What engines do you have, and what are your burn numbers if you don’t me asking?
 
Wow. Dont blame you. Simply beautiful.

Motors are Volvo IPS 600's. Per the manufacturer, the boat cruises at 34 mph burning 37 gph. On the sea trial 32 mph was real comfortable at a burn of 36 gph. Max speed was 39.7mph. Pretty efficient. Tight quarter handling is a dream with the joystick. It feels like cheating.
 
Good numbers with those pods. I have had a joystick for almost 2 years now, but rarely use it. I guess I have always been concerned it may go down, and I didn't want to loose The typical shift maneuvering from our past shaft boat. But, it is very nice to have if you need to make a quick, lateral crab. Have fun.
 
Congrats Bill!!!! Beautiful yacht that's for sure. Efficiency is a dream. Very impressive numbers.

Best of luck and see you on water.
 
Wow, those are great numbers. And that is one beautiful boat. Congrats
 
Ahhhh, welcome to the Riv family!

Nice upgrade - I'm a bit partial to the 4400 or 4700 SY's myself - they don't last long on the local market where I live. Dock neighbour has a Volvo diesel pod setup in his Mustang 430 Sports Coupe and I'm impressed with the low noise.
