It focuses primarily on recreational Rigid Inflatable Boats, ranging from compact open RIBs to large cabin and cruising RIBs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tested off Argentario, Tuscany, the NOAH 36 Cabin came powered by twin 6.2-liter V8 Mercury MerCruiser engines delivering a combined 700 hp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 7 ton weighing RIB features a chined hull with a long, fine bow and a 22-degree transom deadrise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At a 25-knot cruise (3,500 rpm), fuel burn settled at 3.15 liters per nautical mile, while a fast cruise yielded 34 knots at 4,600 rpm. Flat out, the boat hit 42.7 knots at 5,400 rpm, easily topping the builder\u2019s 40-knot estimate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The hull stayed planted through tight turns, supported by the tubes to check excessive heel, though a slight starboard list at higher speeds required trim tab adjustment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Forward visibility was somewhat restricted under hard acceleration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Test Data<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><thead><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Engine rpm<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Speed<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Fuel consumption<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Not stated<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">9.9 kn<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">3.97 l\/nm<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Not stated<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">20 kn<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">3.30 l\/nm<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">3,500 rpm<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">25 kn<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">3.15 l\/nm<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">4,600 rpm<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">34 kn<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">4.87 l\/h*<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">4,970 rpm<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">37.9 kn<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">5.49 l\/nm<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">5,400 rpm<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">42.7 kn<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">5.32 l\/nm<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">*The source states <strong>4.87 litres per hour<\/strong> at 34 knots.<br>This differs from the litres-per-nautical-mile format used for the other consumption measurements, so I have preserved it as stated.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This video was published on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@theboatshow\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>THE BOAT SHOW<\/strong> YouTube channel<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Proud to share that <a href=\"https:\/\/en.orcaretail.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ORCA Retail<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/orca.eu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ORCA Pennel &amp; Flipo<\/a> are good Friends of RIBs ONLY.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Related reading:<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ribsonly.com\/2\/what-is-a-rigid-inflatable-boat-rib\/\">What Is a Rigid Inflatable Boat?<\/a>\u00a0\u00b7\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ribsonly.com\/2\/what-does-rib-stand-for\/\">What Does RIB Stand For?<\/a>\u00a0\u00b7\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ribsonly.com\/2\/how-does-a-rib-work\/\">How Does a RIB Work?<\/a>\u00a0\u00b7\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ribsonly.com\/2\/rib-glossary-100-essential-terminology\/\">RIB Glossary: 100 Essential Terminology<\/a>\u00a0\u00b7\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ribsonly.com\/2\/rib-hull-shapes-explained\/\">RIB Hull Shapes Explained<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On <a href=\"https:\/\/ribmanufacturerlist.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">RIBManufacturerList<\/a> NOAH is active RIB brand nr. 227.
