Not all Riviera M400s are created equal. This is a rare opportunity to secure a professionally re-powered, performance-enhanced and visually striking example of one of Australia's most respected offshore cruisers!
The Riviera M400 has long been regarded as one of the most capable Riviera Sports Cruiser hulls ever produced. Renowned for its offshore performance, sterndrive handling and sea-keeping ability, it was ahead of its time when launched.
In 2017, this vessel underwent a professional re-power project - transforming her into a modernised evolution of the classic Riviera M400 platform.
She now runs twin Mercury diesel 370hp engines, delivering:
- Strong mid-range torque
- Improved reliability over original engine packages
- Enhanced fuel efficiency (75L combined!)
- Modern engine management systems
- Greater long-term serviceability
For buyers comparing standard examples, the value difference is significant. A re-powered Riviera Sports Cruiser of this calibre represents a smarter long-term ownership decision.
The helm has been modernised to complement the upgraded Mercury diesel powerplants. Updated Simrad lectronics provide reliable navigation, clear data visibility and confident passage planning for Gold Coast coastal cruising or extended offshore runs.
The dash layout remains ergonomic and skipper-focused, preserving the M400's reputation as a true driver's boat. Sightlines are excellent. Handling is precise. The shaft-drive configuration delivers predictable tracking in varying sea conditions.
This is a Riviera M400 built for owners who value offshore performance as much as onboard comfort.
The cockpit aboard this Riviera Sports Cruiser is designed for practical luxury.
Wide side decks, secure boarding access and generous cockpit space make her equally suited to entertaining at anchor or coastal cruising. The metallic silver hull sets her apart immediately - visually commanding, unmistakable and highly distinctive on the Gold Coast waterways.
Under natural light, the silver finish gives this Riviera M400 a modern European aesthetic while retaining classic Riviera lines. She draws attention without appearing overstated.
Most Riviera M400 examples still run their original engine packages. This vessel offers modern propulsion in a proven offshore performance hull - significantly reducing the uncertainty and long-term cost exposure associated with ageing drivetrains.
The Gold Coast continues to be one of Australia's most active boating markets, and a Riviera M400 of this calibre is rarely offered.
