Italian BWA Rigid Inflatable Boat
Another great review by The Boat Show of the Rigid Inflatable Motor Boat BWA 28 GTO C. The location was Santa Marinella, Italy
The BWA Sport 28 GTO C features a nearly nine-meter open hull with bow and stern convivial areas.
Powered by a 350-horsepower Suzuki V6 engine, it reaches plane mode at 11 knots and a maximum speed of 39 knots.
Fuel-efficient lean burn technology consumes 30 liters per hour at 20 knots.
Twin counter-rotating propellers enhance manoeuvrability and thrust, while drive-by-wire controls provide precise handling.
Luxury features include a sunbathing area, kitchen, shower, and toilet.
The hull is watertight and buoyant, with optional dual engines.
Performance testing confirms speed, efficiency, and comfort, while Suzuki’s proven reliability supports long voyages.
