R.I.B-LINE 8.5

The giant among the RIBLINES ...

... are the superlative of all inflatables which can be trailed. Their hallmarks are their most precise manufacturing, luxuriant equipment, and outstanding sea performance. The two engines (powered up to 2 x 220kW/2 x 300 PS) enable the boats to nimbly circulate around tightiest radiuses and slide over highest waves. The extremely deep V-hull additionally creates a unique driving comfort. On customers‘ individual requests we build in optional equipment which is only likely to be found on board of bigger yachts.
Because of the stern platforms you can easily enter the boat despite its two engines. Both models provide an aft seating arrangement which can be changed into an upholstered couch. The bow section has been equipped with a huge upholstered couch inclusive colossal storage compartments underneath. The images show the 8.5 model with the available optional equipment, i. e. to be provided with a second seating arrangement in the bow section.

As for the tank volume and the control panels, the customer may choose between different designs. Both models have a standard 100 cm wide control panel providing sufficient wind deflection for two people. Our product line, however, includes an optional 130 cm wide panel combined with a toilet cabinet which is placed on the driver’s standing height. The interior of the toilet console allows even tall middle Europeans to access it.

On request, the toilet room may be fitted with a double lounger if you want to stay overnight on your boat during longer trips. The kitchen, the shower booth, the 220 V generator, the camping canopy and the autopilot are sought-after options with both the two models. The volume of the tank can be individually modified within the range capacity of 300 up to 1.000l. We leave it up to the customers whether to have a GRP or stainless steel equipment rack fitted in. The integrated compressor lets the boat shrink to a portable 2.4m beam and afterwards return to its original size of 3.3m.
