Wooden Model Boat Riva Aquarama Speedboat

Great looking boat ; made well also.

Very nice but not a model kit but a model decoration.

Not really good quality. Doesn’t have what I wanted

Good ... my son liked it !

The boat is nice, but it doesn't dazzle. Expected a bit more for the price.

Good

If you take a look at the reviews, you'll notice that all the reviews are on the Riva-White bottom boat. This review is for the Chris-Craft runabout, and I'm pleasantly surprised. Yes, if this was over $100, you would expect a better finish, but for $65, this is really worth considering...especially for a wooden boat, or Chris-Craft owner! Love the details. They really when to bat with this model and it's attention to details and the true to scale accents and accessories. Very impressed. Would be fantastic on a shelf, on display in an office, den, library or living room. Just perfect! Again, I can't overstate how this would make an excellent gift for a Captian, who possibly has everything! Final thoughts.. ✔️ Perfect for that captain in your life. ✔️ Would display remarkably in a library, office, den, or living room. ✔️ Almost a must have for that wooden boat owner, or an owner of a true Chris-Craft! ✔️ $65 is fair and reasonable, for a vintage wooden boat replica. ✔️ Finish is good, not the finest, but remember, this is way under $100. ✔️ Can't overstate how smart this is for a Chris-Craft, or wooden boat owner! ✔️ Impressed with the detail! ⭐️1 star — I don't endorse this at all, poor quality. ⭐️⭐️ 2 stars — I don't endorse it: has multiple faults, or significantly overpriced. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ 3 stars — It's passable: it has some faults, some compromises, but the quality is acceptable for what it is. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4 stars — Product quite acceptable, and it does what it promises. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 stars — Product that I totally endorse. Blown away. Drop everything and buy it!

For the price this is a handsome, good looking, wooden boat model. Classy. We don't have a wooden boat but do have a wakeboard boat and live on a lake enjoying many types of water sports and relaxation. We have a very nice, expensive wooden sail boat model that we bought years ago from a high-end furniture and decor store and also have an estate sale find, vintage, wooden boat model that has more age on it. This one isn't quite the quality of those when it comes to the finish and all that it includes as far as details but for a wooden boat model at this price it's not bad at all. The wood on this one is, in places, a tad almost scratchy. You stick the flag in yourself but thats easy enough. When I unpacked this, and it was packaged very well and secure, I saw that a piece of something (at first I thought it was part of the packing) was loose. Turns out on closer inspection it was the front seat of the boat, the bottom part - not the back rest part and was easy enough to just put in place and press down on so that it would be secured again. Overall I'm happy with this boat model that we received in exchange for a Vine review and think that my husband will love it when I give it to him as a present. If I'd have paid $65 for it I would be pleased with it.

Finish a little rough...would have liked a glossier finish

The quality of the product is not up to the price
