Experience the Roughneck 27: a versatile high-performance RIB with a double stepped hull and a top speed of no less than 125 km/h.Roughneck 27 – versatile high-performance RIB for every boating experience The Roughneck 27 is a true all-round high-performance RIB. Use it as a fast chase boat for a superyacht, as a sporty dayboat with family and friends, or for water sports such as water skiing and wakeboarding. Thanks to its versatile layout, impressive performance, and comfortable sailing characteristics, this RIB feels at home in every role. With a length of 8.50 meters, a double stepped hull, and powerful Mercury engine options, the Roughneck 27 combines speed with stability and efficiency. Depending on the chosen configuration, a top speed of up to 125 km/h can be achieved. Double stepped hull for comfort and efficiency At Roughneck, every RIB starts with the most important component: the underwater hull. First, the hull shape and sailing characteristics are fully optimized. Only when these meet the high standards of the brand is the rest of the boat designed. The double stepped hull of the Roughneck 27 reduces drag and ensures that the hull moves efficiently over the water. This allows the RIB to accelerate quickly, keeps fuel consumption relatively low at higher speeds, and provides comfortable and controlled sailing characteristics. The sharp deadrise of 24 degrees contributes to a lot of grip, stability, and a smooth ride, even when conditions become more challenging. From chase boat to complete dayboat The versatility makes the Roughneck 27 suitable for a variety of purposes. As a chase boat, it offers the speed, reliability, and maneuverability needed to accompany a superyacht. As a dayboat, it has enough space and comfort to spend a full day on the water with family and friends. The rear bench provides a comfortable seating area for passengers. Under the sun deck and in the console, there is practical storage space for lines, fenders, water sports equipment, and other boating necessities. The Roughneck 27 is also particularly suitable for active water sports enthusiasts. Water skiing and wakeboarding are effortlessly possible thanks to the powerful engine options and quick acceleration. High-quality materials and thoughtful finishing The tubes of the Roughneck 27 are made from high-quality Hypalon. This durable material is highly resistant to intensive use and various weather conditions. The strong polyester hull and polyester deck, together with the tubes, form a solid foundation for years of intensive boating pleasure. The Roughneck 27 can be fully customized to personal preferences. Various colors, materials, floor finishes, seating arrangements, navigation equipment, and audio systems make it possible to give each version its own look and character.
