Commuter Rib

We have a 36’ RIB hull in excellent condition that was lightly used by the navy seals.

It has been stripped down to a bare hull and is ready to be rebuilt to your specifications with

• New tubes
• New engine
• New drive system
• Cabin and seating designed and built to your specification
• Navigation and electronics package

With a single 825hp diesel and Arneson Surface drive this vessel will travel at a top speed of 55 knots and cruise at 40 knots in any conditions.

The vessel can also be fitted with twin diesels but the single will provide the best efficiency.

The Arneson drive is 30% more efficient than other drive systems.

Expected fuel consumption and speeds below.

• 20 gals per hour @ 40 knots  2Nm per Gallon
• 45 gals per hour @ 55 knots  1.2Nm per Gallon

These figures are very low for a boat of this size, speed and capability.

The very deep and narrow V hull is designed and built strong enough to be dropped from aircraft and slices smoothly through any sort of chop without pounding and is very dry.

This is a commercial grade vessel with Kevlar hull that will get you to your destination safely and comfortably in any weather.

Depending on power options this one of a kind vessel will be between $200K to $300K.

These boats are built new for the military at a cost of $900K.
