Riviera 61 Halo | Major Refit
Halo was the first Riviera 61 that was ever built. A further 7 were made and only 3 of them are currently in New Zealand. MYSC is proud to have now completed major refits to 2 of the 3 here in NZ.
HALO was bought to us by it’s passionate owners from the South Island to have some upgrades that made this boat comfortable and reliable. HALO lives in a part of NZ where marine services are few and far between, so it’s imperative that the boat was reliable and the risk of items failing was mitigated.
Our team of experts spent 4 months turning this Riviera 61 into a real head turner, check out the work completed below:
