New to me 2004 Wellcraft Riviera
Posted: Sun Jul 12, 2026 11:28 pm
Hello Wellcraft owners & enthusiasts!
My name is Mike, and I've very recently purchased a 2004 Riviera, with twin Volvo Penta TAMD75P engines 480hp each. This has been a big jump for me from a 20ft Whaler CC!
I'm based out of Vancouver BC and will be using it to cruise and fish up the BC coast - avid fisherman.
This boat was on blocks for 3 years before I came along and I'm the 3rd owner. The engines had 1500 hours on them and the mechanical inspection was very good. I'm having the after coolers and heat exchangers rebuilt now and a few other odds and ends taken care of. Rest of the boat is in excellent condition - gel coat in great shape, upholstery also great shape. I'll be updating chartplotters and radar this fall. Really very excited about the purchase and would love to hear from others who have experience with this model. Ty!
