The "Parana" is the smallest model from Rio, designed specifically as a maneuverable sports boat, suitable for water skiing.
In early "Parana models," the instruments were installed in a row along the dashboard. But by the time it came to constructing number # 35, the instruments were grouped on top of each other around the steering wheel.
At the beginning of the seventies — from around construction number # 70 — a completely revised model was introduced, with a length of 5.9 m. instead of the previous 5.6 m. The built-in 350-QV8 Chris-Craft engine had 230 hp.
Probably the most original design feature of this typically "American" styled "Parana" is the deck protruding about 20 cm above the transom.
