I’ve owned a few RIBs and this one finally checks all the boxes: comfort, looks, and solid performance. The cooler under the bench is a great touch, and the finish on the console is top tier.
I trailer this with my SUV no problem. Took it out last weekend for snorkeling and had everything organized thanks to the smart layout. Setup with Yamaha F115LB—smooth and quiet all day.
We chose the Mercury pre-rig with the 130 HP setup and it flies. Great fuel efficiency too. Everything—from the stitching to the audio—feels like a high-end yacht in a sportier shell.
Not too big, not too small. I’ve taken my wife and two kids out multiple times and we’re never cramped. The EVA deck feels great under bare feet and cleanup is super easy. Wish the T-Top came standard, though.
This boat handles beautifully. We’ve done wakeboarding, cruising, even fishing—all in one day. The Garmin system and Fusion speakers are awesome extras for a boat this size.
