BSC 78 RIB Video: A Promo for This Italian Boat
The Italian-built BSC 78 RIB combines generous deck space with a layout designed for relaxed days on the water.
At 7.90 metres long, it offers plenty of room for passengers, thanks partly to its cleverly positioned off-centre console.
Large sunbathing areas, comfortable seating and easy movement around the deck make it particularly appealing for family outings.
Powered by a Suzuki outboard engine of up to 300 hp, the BSC 78 accommodates up to 16 people and carries 310 litres of fuel.
The Rigid Inflatable Boats is available in Classic and Elegance versions putting comfort and practicality first.
The Editor’s View
This Italian shipyard was founded in 1990, more than 35 years ago, and now produces over 20 models.
It’s a pity their promotional videos don’t tell us more about the boat. This one looks great, but that’s about it. No technical details, no standout features, and no explanation of what makes this RIB different from the competition.
Nice to watch, certainly. But a missed opportunity to tell a much more interesting story.
This video was published on the Suzuki Marine Italia YouTube channel.
Earlier I posted a thorough review of this RIB model by The Sea Team, it’s absolutely worth your while: BSC 78 Performance Data: Speed, Fuel and Acceleration.
