This Mercury powered Osprey Seaharrier 6.6 is custom built by Ron Stolp for a client. Ron is the new owner of all hardnose Osprey molds Vipermax.
The name “Osprey” is owned bij BMC. Check out his Facebook page to see the build process (https://www.facebook.com/ron.stolp.56). Lots of images there.
The video of the first ride by the satisfied client speaks for itself.
“It is definitely a special experience to travel with Genesis 31, whose hull can handle the waves wonderful while keeping a perfectly straight ride attitude ensuring excellent field of vision to the pilot even when he is driving while sitting.”
This is the very first episode of Highfield TV. Steve Harrison, European Brand Manager at Highfield Boats, explains the Classic vs Ultralite aluminum tender Rigid Inflatable Boat.
In this episode Steve’s filming at the sunny La Rochelle (France) during the Grand Pavois Boat Show, and answering a question many times raised.
Main differerence is the Weight
The Classic weighs in at about 60 kg while the Ultralite weighs about 40 kg. A lot has been comprimised to save as much weight as possible.
I published some videos here of the Classic tender the Ultralite one.
