The Diamond 36 RIB Amazes

The Greek built Sea Delta Diamond 36 is a 36-foot Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB) developed for coastal cruising and recreational boating.

The model has a deep-V hull with inflatable tubes, a configuration commonly used to balance ride comfort and stability.

The deck includes seating areas, storage compartments, and space for passenger movement.

As with many RIB builders, layout options can be tailored to meet the owner’s specific requirements up to a certain level.

The Diamond 36 is available with high-power outboard engines, including twin installations like this Honda BF 350 V8 (see specs below).

STINGHER 34 GT by e-RIBBING.com

Based on this video, it looks to me that the 34 GT Rigid Inflatable Boat by Italboats appears to be quite special.

What immediately caught my attention was the raised bow and gradual elevation of the air chambers contribute to a spacious cabin.

This makes it comfortable and ideal for extended time onboard.

The deep V-shaped hull, carefully positioned spray rails, and arched chine provide stability and efficiency.

At the stern of this STINGHER 34 GT, the integrated bracket plays a key role in optimizing navigation at all speeds.

The deck layout , certainly behind the console prioritizes comfort and functionality, offering plenty of space and freedom of movement.

I’ve published more videos of Italboat RIBs: Get to know the brand.

The e-Ribbing.com team tests in detail a large number of Rigid Inflatable Boats or RIBs on their website.

This time the team showcases the FOST Obsession 860, a Rigid Inflatable Boat designed for rough weather conditions.

The boat’s hull, with a 62-degree entry angle and 26.5-degree deadrise at the transom, allows it to smoothly cut through waves.

It has a sundeck that can accommodate two adults and has storage compartments.

Their video also highlights the Honda BF 250 hp outboard, which has the technology to deliver high power and fuel efficiency.

I really enjoy their videos because of their commitment to keeping it raw.

Essentially, they just grab the camera and shoot capturing the real moments as they unfold: Get Some More of That!.
