The ADV7 from Highfield
What I can say is that it’s not your average rib. Not your typical Highfield.
Based on the video above and the photos provided to me, I see similarities to a RIB, but also differences.
It seems that the air-filled tubes serve a different purpose, as they are positioned high above the waterline.
It’s a type of crossover.
Its deep-V hull, expertly crafted with vacuum-infused composite by the award-winning Vom Designs, guarantees exceptional performance and handling.
The company already designing a bold, modern console for Highfield’s Patrol boat collection.
According to the press release, this ADV7 by Highfield Boats is powered by a 150 hp engine.
It effortlessly surpasses 30 knots. With a 250 hp, it rockets to nearly 50 knots.
And the Adv7’s tube offers unmatched security and buoyancy—rarely found in the adventure boat market, so the info states.
Proud to share that Highfield is a good Friend of RIBs ONLY.
