Rigid inflatable boat (outboard, side console, roll-bar)
5.5 XL Conrad Pischel Ribline

- 5.5m

18' 1"ft

The 5.5 XL represents the classic in our ribline armada. Authorities, sailing academies, divers or just customers in need of a spacious boat may find that this model is their ideal partner. In addition to the bow anchor locker, it features a bow and a stern storage box, the latter having been embedded in the GRP hull. The tanks are in the tweendeck and fixed just like a ballast keel under the control panel which is 70 cm wide. You can fit in a second row of seats with a console for standing up or sitting just as you may do it with the 5.5 II Compact model. The dimensions of the 5.5 XL boat let you rather think of a 6 m long RIB. Therefore we were able to boost the engine up to a maximum output of 103 kW (140PS). Even a full throttle run will hardly put the wind up this bull.
The step hull is ideal for a top speed boat like this. This hull technology required an enormous potential for development. For this reaso we developed this hull in cooperation with an engineer renowned for offshore boats in 2003.
The boat features standard 1670 D/Tex Orca Hypalon, multiply bonded seams, a huge amount of lugs and a tube which has been completely bonded to the GRP hull. The hull is laminated with composite matte with the hand lay-up procedure.
