2017 VIPER HYPALON RIB 7.6M (2017)

This 2017 Viper Hypalon RIB represents one of the most capable and well-equipped rigid inflatable boats on the New Zealand market. Built by Viper Ribs in South Africa, the 7.6m LOA hull features a 23-degree deadrise fibreglass base delivering exceptional stability and wave-cutting performance in challenging offshore conditions. Power comes from a Yamaha F250 four-stroke outboard with just 86 hours of use - a virtually new engine that pushes this RIB to a blistering 45 knots top speed and a comfortable 30-knot cruise. Safety is paramount with seven individual pontoon compartments, each fitted with a safety valve, plus a 12V electric inflation pump for peace of mind offshore. The 300L stainless steel fuel tank and 150L freshwater tank ensure serious range for extended trips. Navigation and entertainment are handled by a Garmin multifunction display with Panoptix transducer, VHF radio, Fusion stereo and Yamaha LCD engine display - all integrated through a centre console with Purspecs dodger. Extensive seating with under-seat storage, swim ladder, bait station and Bimini top complete the package. A custom-built dual-axle multi-roller trailer is included. Located in Tauranga, Bay of Plenty, and available by appointment. Priced at $68,000.
