2005 Riviera M430 Sports Cruiser - Proven Performance with Premium Upgrades

The Riviera M430 is widely regarded as one of Australia's most iconic sports cruisers, combining timeless design, exceptional sea-keeping, and a layout that perfectly balances entertaining and extended cruising. This 2005 model presents as a standout example, enhanced with a range of thoughtful upgrades that elevate both performance and onboard lifestyle. 

Powered by twin 8.1L MerCruiser engines with just 600 hours, she delivers strong, reliable performance with effortless cruising capability. Whether you're heading offshore or enjoying a relaxed weekend on the Broadwater, the M430's hull inspires confidence in all conditions. 

Onboard comfort is exceptional, with air-conditioning throughout and a generator ensuring full functionality at anchor. A bow thruster makes docking simple and stress-free, even in tight marinas. 

The entertainment package has been significantly upgraded, featuring a premium Fusion stereo system paired with striking 12-inch illuminated speakers--perfect for setting the atmosphere whether you're entertaining guests or enjoying a sunset cruise. Complementing this is the addition of Aqua Luma underwater lighting, creating a stunning visual presence at night. 

At the helm, an upgraded Garmin plotter and sounder provide modern navigation capability, giving you clarity and confidence on every journey. 

Inside, the M430's spacious layout offers a luxurious saloon, well-appointed galley, and comfortable accommodation for family and guests, making her equally suited to weekend escapes or longer stays aboard. 

This is a turn-key opportunity to secure a highly sought-after Riviera model, already upgraded in all the right areas and ready for immediate enjoyment.
