NEW Roughneck 808 RIB

We are pleased to announce the arrival of the Roughneck range of high performance RIBs to Australia! With race-bred stepped hull design, Dutch shipbuilding quality and expertise, proven commercial applications and custom builds, the Roughneck range will suit the most demanding buyer.

The Roughneck 808 RIB is a high performance, high quality rigid inflatable with a hand laid GRP hull with ORCA Hypalon tubes. Suited for outboards between 250HP and 400HP. Fully customisable and expertly crafted, these exceptional centre console RIBs are also priced competitively. The double-stepped hull gives the 808 excellent seakeeping characteristics, a soft ride, lower planning speeds and better fuel efficiency. Most impressively, the 808 is an incredibly dry boat. Fitted with a 300HP Mercury Verado outboard, the 808 will reach speeds over 53 knots and remain incredibly stable whilst doing so. It will comfortably cruise at 30 knots in almost all conditions!

The 808 can be fitted with a rear seat for more comfort. If you want more space in the cockpit for dive gear or fishing room, you can opt for a straight stern. Ample storage is provided by the lockers in the bow and under the console. Optional Ullman Dynamics suspension seats are a great addition and really give the skipper confidence to push the throttle forward.

The 808 is a true all-rounder; a chase boat for a motor yacht or as a day boat to cruise around with family and friends. The stepped hull design and race-bred engineering ensures this RIB is an all-weather performer for our tough Australian conditions. Proven in commercial applications worldwide, the Volvo Ocean Race Team Brunel chose a Roughneck 808 as their support boat for the 2018 Volvo Race for example.
