USA-based manufacturer of commercial and government craft, Brunswick Commercial and Government Products (BCGP) will expand its product line to include professional grade rigid inflatable boats (RIB).
The new Impact RIB product line ranges in size from 4.3 to 11.8 metres in length, with centre console and cabin models and various propulsion options including inboard, diesel, water jet, or outboard configurations up to triples.
The hull is made of fibreglass with a beefed up commercial laminate schedule for durability, and the RIB tube is made from SOLAS certified Akron TPE fabric, which has extremely high abrasion resistance, up to five times greater than neoprene/hypalon. It also features resistance to pollution, deterioration caused by UV rays, and superior puncture resistance.
