Our 18 ft. Riviera , the “ Linden Lady ”, has been in the family since 1981. In 1982 through 1984, the boat went through a total restoration of the entire hull , running gear (propellor, shaft, log & coupling) and interior . The engine block assembly received an entire rebuild in 1987 - 88 and all ancillary equipment was refurbished/replaced as needed including; the generator, starter, water pump, fuel pump, engine mounts, reverse gear, distributor and gauges. The electrical system was upgraded to 12 volts, oil filter and an automatic bilge pump was added at that time. My stewardship began in 2004. My goal has been measured restoration, improved safety/reliability and enjoyment for the family. As a result, she is in very good condition, mechanically sound and structurally strong. I have always relied upon Central New York professionals for her care. The “Linden Lady” is a great family boat to enjoy on the lake or a good candidate for anyone wanting a showboat. She has spent her life on Otisco Lake in NY, has received great care and always been stored under cover. Upgrades & Repairs since 2004: (some dating is approximated) Bottom was replaced using 3M 5200 system by Skaneateles Wooden Boat Co.(2004). Special cylinder head studs installed, head resurfaced, new gasket installed and TDC indicator added to bell housing. New stern pole was added.(2009). Replaced; tach cable, temperature gauge & sensor and throttle brake.(2012) Fuse box added. Wiring and terminations checked, tightened and secured.(2016) Carburetor was rebuilt and “spin-on” fuel filter was added. Fuel tank was removed, cleaned, reinstalled and fuel line was replaced. Deck hardware was re-chromed and fuel cap was replaced. New SS dual - tone horns were added to the foredeck.(2015-16) Stuffing boxes on shaft and rudder were repacked and coupling alignment was checked. Engine exhaust elbow was replaced. (2016- 17) Topsides were refinished, the boottop stripe re-scribed and painted to original coloring. Some transom wood was replaced before the completion of the topsides. Decks were caulked, new striping applied and then refinished. The bottom was stripped, thoroughly checked and repainted to the OEM Coloring. (2018-19) Oil pressure and tachometer gauges were refurbished, calibrated and re-chromed. New generator belt was installed. Engine oil changed. Plastic windscreens were replaced with new safety glass.(2022)
