Comfortable rigid inflatable boat
(in-board, side console, sundeck, teak deck) v type
DIESEL CLASSIC TOURER

A combination of one of the worlds finest diesel engines, combined with the one of the hottest sports RIBS in the market place today, mixed together with a performance jet unit that cumulates in an ultimate, clean, enviro friendly, performance, economical, low maintenance, designed hand built RIB that gives this boat the "wow" factor. The designer took inspiration from the clean lines of modern sports cars, and whilst most modern RIB/tender designers set out to achieve uncluttered lines, V-type has succeeded in producing a style that is a world-beater.

The underwater shape has been kept lean, with the spray rails merging into the main hull well before the bow. Apart from this the hull is a full deep-V with a 23-degree deadrise that promises a well-behaved ride in rough seas. The inflatable tube is set well into the hull, the lower edge just above the chine. At rest, the tube skims the water surface at the stern to give good stability, but when underway it lifts clear of the water so there is no drag. The hull and tube integrate cleanly so that there are no reverse angles to give a harsh ride. The deck moulding is beautifully executed and styled. Contrasting white or silver finish compliment the teak decks that extend the length of the boat and up on to the top of the engine hatch.

A Volkswagen V6 diesel engine was selected to power this CLASSIC TOURER. Because of this extremely quiet, Audi based power unit with its Piezo-controlled common rail injection, overall noise levels are commendably low and the (265) Volkswagen engine fits snugly into the stern where it is close-coupled to a Alamarin jet drive.
