AMF 580 RIB

[amfboats]

Hi Guys, we have been busy building RIBs lately, Here is the smallest of our new models a AMF 580 QRV, based on our 580 Vee Berth Cabin Hull, we have added Tubes and powered by a Mercury 200hp Optimax Sport Jet. This boat gets along at 46mph. This vessel was built for Tauranga Coastguard. They have a large estuary and it will also support with inshore coastal work.

Just working on the next of these QRV 580 Sport Jets, here is one in the buff if there are any alloy fans out there!?!

What seats are going in her ?
Something with springs maybe ?

Our hulls are so soft riding we don't need anything more than spongy old sponge

Here are a few more pictures of our 580 QRV on the water

Been out taking photos of this boat for our PR man, its winter and and it is cold, he said to make it look like summer wear a t-shirt, and take a harden up pill. So we delegated the boat driving job to one of our boat builders. :-) No good for a heater hugging office dweller like me ;)

Here are a few pics.

Here is the thinking behind our RIB's and especially our tubes that are mounted high on the hull.
