Isn’t your hull designed to plane? I’d think you’d get better mileage at cruise on plane then you would just plowing water.
-
Rivas hulls are designed to plane. A good crusing speed would be around 23 knots(about 26mph) as at 10mph the boat is pushing the water rather than getting on it. Also i suggest instaling a pair of RACOR filters.
-
The real question is how long has that marina been double dipping and subletting your slip for knowing your boat was away. Pretty sure legally, depending on the contract, you’d be entitled to any money they collected plus fees.
-
Definitely fix your running lights and get some paper charts. I’m sure the boat spotting you was letting you know they didn’t see any running lights. Things can turn bad on the water quickly if you’re not prepared. Good series though and looking forward to see what’s next.

thats a planing hull its at its most efficient when its out of the water. the diesel engines would have been tuned so that they were at their most efficient at a high teen / low 20 knot cruising speed most probably. where the hull is out of the water as much as possible so under least resistance.
-
You might want to consider getting your navigations lights fixed before you go out at night again! That is very sketchy. I understand that you are learning but you need to get your prep on point and get the lights, sonar and radar dialed.
-
Man talk about commitment😅 3 year journey from Diesel, to blown, to stranded, to lsx swapped, to fixed and then all the way back home and you actually documented all of it really well too. Not to mention all the money and time spent like its amazing you guys accomplished it and filmed it all to show us. So shout out to you guys, it really makes all these other YouTube builds and projects that people don't finish or document most of look bad 😅😅
-
You’d be more fuel efficient if you get on plane. Which requires you to go faster, the bow will lift then lower by itself. And you can use the trim tabs to balance and level you out
-
You should probably put marine fuel filter/separators on. The dont get clogged with sediment as easily because it settles at the bottom of the bowl. As, water separation doesn't hurt. Not uncommon to get water in fuel.
-
I'm very curious what you will find out about the boat that was parked in your spot. Please let us know in the next episode ;)
-
Unless you are idling along and sightseeing, stay in the marked sea channels. Also many times the shallowest water can be next to the channels due to dredging and the bottom soil dropped at the outer edges of the channel.
-
Let us know how the dock situation goes, I would say they owe you some free dock time at the very least, this has been a challenging project and you guys have conquered the hard part, addressing the luxury part will be a lot of fun, definitely a lot less stressful, although it's not cheap you might want to consider new props that are better suited for your current power train as they will help with fuel efficiency and over all performance, outstanding job on this whole project.
-
Another great video. Dont skimp on the videos of the continuing work on the boat. Odd as it may seem a lot of us really enjoy seeing it come together.
-
Gonna join the chorus here. You are much more efficient on plane than you are plowing water. Your best cruise will NOT be at top speed but once on the water instead of IN the water find where your engines/props work best. Also this was mentioned early on in your boat adventure but you really should have a depth finder and a MARINE GPS. Have fun with the Riva and be safe on the water.
-
It's fun to watch you make all the mistakes we all made when we got our first boat. One thought: if your concerned about the cost of fuel, you probably don't want a boat
-
I was always told that the more the boat is out of the water the more efficient it is, and that is why some of the big boats when they really get moving basically just a little bit of the boat is actually in the water?
-
Ironically, from the way you described it, you put the speed at the least fuel efficient speed... generally, fuel efficiency is the same between boats and cars with the best is efficiency is with slow speeds. But there is one difference. The plane. Boats get the worst fuel efficiency just below plane, and the best just above. So the slow vs fast is split between two group, and the separator is the plane.
-
Things learned:
1) Yes, you can LS swap your yacht
2) Don't let Chris navigate
3) Let Oscar navigate
😆 -
Definitely need to have some handheld spotlights and/or floodlights.

9:45 I believe when a plain hull plains it’s at its most efficient.. if it is a displacement hull then you’ve got the right thoughts..
