The 7.1m amphibious Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB) is the third and largest model released by Sealegs in the last three years. It is designed to cater for the demand for more boat space and extra seating. The 7.1m RIB has come as a direct result of market feedback and already has confirmed pre-release orders for 14 of the new model which sells for $98,000. This 7.1m amphibious RIB will create new markets and business opportunities based around tourism and water transportation. The Sealegs 7.1m RIB can comfortably seat up to 8 adults and has a payload of 700kgs. It has a top land speed of 10 kph and with an 115hp motor can do up to 78 kph on water.
Sealegs is shipping its first 7.1m RIB to Italy for the Genoa International Boat Show in October 2007, where it will be unveiled to the European community for the first time. Italy is a very important market for Sealegs with the Italian Government having previously purchased Sealegs amphibious boats for their Fire Department to use in flood prone areas.
