New Mercury V10 400R
FOND DU LAC, Wis. (February 14, 2022) – Mercury Racing delivers more outboard performance punch with the introduction of the all-new Mercury Racing V10 400R model.
Designed primarily to power performance boats to speeds well beyond 75 mph, the V10 400R offers more power and a higher RPM range than any outboard in this category. A host of exclusive Mercury Racing features further enhance the experience of piloting a Wide Open performance powerboat.
RIBs ONLY: checkout the video of the standard Mercury V10 400.
1. The making of a GEMINI WR880 RIB – A RIBs ONLY Exclusive!
Amongst the many RIB brands, GEMINI is positioned as a commercial RIB. These heavy duty RIBS are built in Cape Town, South Africa, sinds 1979. They’re built to last. So is this RIB GEMINI WR880.
Gemini Marine has been the sole provider to the National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI) of South Africa for rescue craft from 4 meter to 8.5 meter Cabin class operating along the rugged South African coastline since 1984.
Gerhard Neethling, CEO and Owner of GEMINI-Marine
RIBs ONLY got an exclusive look behind the scenes how the RIB GEMINI WR880 is built (the finished RIB). Some steps in the process have been omitted for trade secret reasons. This is not strange.
As a nautical journalist, I visited several shipyards. In every company I was not allowed to photograph or write about certain things for the same reason.
All photos courteys of GEMINI Marine. Many thanks go to:
GEMINI Marine’s Tech Director & Founder Jeff Stephens
Gerhard Neethling, Global Sales & Marketing, CEO and Owner since September 2020
Henning Blaauw, Chief Operations Officer
And also to all the other employees for doing such a great job!
RIBs ONLY also wants to thank Arjen Maan, Company Director of novi marine in the Netherlands, importer and distributor of GEMINI RIBs.
