Riva Aquarama Canoe Model Boat — In 1962 Carlo Riva introduced the AQUARAMA series of new fast runabouts. She was powered by a 2-Riva 350 horse power engines and was hailed as the water borne Ferrari by the industry. AQUARAMA is still being built by Riva; over 800 have been delivered. Without question, Riva of Italy, which traces its beginnings to a mid-19th century carpenter shop, is the world leader in producing elegant, luxury wooden runabouts.

Other Model Boat Facts:
Canoes Differ from Kayaks although they are commonly interchanged in reference to each other. According to Wikipedia.com, differences from other paddled boats:
* Kayak — The main difference between a kayak and a canoe is that a kayak is a closed canoe meant to be used with a double-bladed paddle, one blade on each end, instead of a single bladed paddle. The double-bladed paddle makes it easier for a single person to handle a kayak. Kayaks are more commonly enclosed on top with a deck, making it possible to recover from a capsize without the kayak filling with water in most cases, although there are also closed canoes, which are common in competition. The deck is an extension of the hull, with a special sheet called a spraydeck sealing the gap between deck and the paddler.
* Rowboat — Not considered a canoe. It is propelled by oars resting in pivots on the gunwales or on ‘riggers’ that extend out from the boat. A rower may use one (sweep-oar)or two oars (sculling). A rower sits with his or her back toward the direction of travel. Some rowboats, such as a River Dory or a raft outfitted with a rowing frame are suitable for whitewater.
* Adirondack guideboat — a rowboat that has similar lines to a canoe. However the rower sits closer to the bilge and uses a set of pinned oars to propel the boat.
* Dragon boat — while it handles similar to and is paddled the same way as a large canoe, a dragon boat is not considered a canoe since its construction is markedly different.
* Sit-on-tops — more akin to kayaks in design, handling, and propulsion (see Kayak#Sit-on-tops).
