This video showcases Giovanni Grasso, accompanied by his team, tests the BSC 85, propelled by twin 150-horsepower Honda engines, off Porto Riposto, close to the Etna vulcano.

BSC 85 RIB Test on Flat Waters

Sea conditions are flat. There are 3 persons on board during the test and the drone view shows 2 and they switched places. Later there’s only 1 person.

The consumption test holds particular significance for me. During test drives, RPM typically evolves per 500.

A small detail, the anchor locker is open.

As you can see in the test results below, the Honda engines seem to have a interesting fuel efficiency.

The boat’s versatility extends to water sports, fishing, and storage options, including a paddleboard rack.

Powered by a Yamaha F300 engine, it reaches impressive speeds, of 50 knots but fuel efficiency varies with the cruising speed.

As an adventure RIB the model could do with a larger fuel tank. Check out more Ballistic RIB videos here.
