Race hull?

joakimhansson · 07 October 2007, 14:21

If you want a rib just for fun (no classrace).

What hull do you think give best performance?

Do i need a stepped hull for speed?

Revenger 23 without stepped hull, is that a fast hull?

Any fast racerib with jockeyseat or bolster or simular?

Looking for a adrenalinerib

All depends on what size boat / engine package you want to go for. I may have a couple of options as looking at selling my own boat at some point due to a couple of new design / build projects.

A 7m RIB, stepped hull with 150 E-Tec HO.

Also have one new hull, just been tubed and being fitted out over the winter.

Adam,

When time is... i will contact you. Your kr7 with e-tec looks very nice. We have right now plans for a bigger boat (not a rib) and if i can find any money for it after that....

What´s the weight of a raceready Bananashark with or without engine?

Not really a RIB but Ice Marines former race Bladerunner is for sale at Essex Boat Yards for £39K. It's a steal - new they are over £200k. genuine 90mph plus (99. something on a good day if the race propellers come with it!). Has twin 2.5EFi 280hp.

See it underway here:

Drove it one afternoon, on charter!, and it is a beast. Very easy and calm up to about 60mph but comes alive once you get some air running through the tunnels.
Same designer as Cookees RIB - Lorne Campbell

Wow...very nice!

Anything that does nearly 100mph needs a great deal of respect.

The race version weighs 975 kilos with a Mercury XS200 or 2.5EFI (280hp) without fuel, but complete with all the safety equipment, lifter and bow tank ready to race - with an XS200 the speed is 73 mph in a race or 76 mph in very flat water. We are hoping to go to speed week in November (and maybe break 90mph!), but I have achieved 84mph with a side wind and some chop without using the lifter.

And never been upside down!

When he says beast, he means 'MONSTER'....

Very nice up to 65mph, then it wants very very very carefull attention at all times, or it will try kill you!

Hey - some one has to have common sence!! Since we started winning things she just wants to go faster. Racing became more expensive since she became enthusiastic!
