AMF 580 RIB
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.

Re: AMF 580 QRV
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.

Re: AMF 580 RIB
Cheers John
Here is the thinking behind our RIB's and especially our tubes that are mounted high on the hull.
