BSC 78 Performance Test with Suzuki 300 hp
Previously I posted a walkaround of this Italian built RIB. Now, you’ll get all the performance numbers.
In this video Carlo Luongo from The Sea Team tests the BSC 78 Elegance RIB with a 300 horsepower Suzuki engine on Lake Garda, Italy.
At 600 rpm, it travels at 2.4 knots burning 2,2 liter hourly. Increasing to 1.600 rpm reaches 5.8 knots and 7.3 liter. At 2.000 rpm, it hits 6.6 knots, consuming 10,6 liter.
The boat planes easily. At 3.500 rpm, it hits 18 knots at 28,4 liter. It reaches 22.3 knots using 29,2 liter.
Thanks to Suzuki’s Lean Burn system, it tracks 28.8 knots at 40,6 liter.
At 4.500 rpm, it cuts through waves at 32.3 knots, consuming 51,3 liter. Max acceleration reaches 5.900 rpm, hitting 45.4 knots at 95 liter. It goes from 0 to 45 knots in seconds.
The boat features also double sun beds and is towable when deflated.
