Its double-walled, hand-welded aluminum hull uses 4 mm marine-grade material, reflecting Aqua Spirit\u2019s experience building RIBs for Ukraine\u2019s armed forces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite its solid construction, the S450 weighs just 212 kg. Its V-shaped hull and raised bow deliver agile handling, even in rough conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A spacious cockpit, comfortable seating, and practical bow step make life on board easy. Maximum engine power is 75 hp, although a 60 hp outboard can reach approximately 40 knots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Options include Hypalon tubes, a ski tow bar, sun deck, bimini top, and sound system.<\/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\">This video was published on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@aquaspiritboats\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the <strong>Aquaspirit Boats<\/strong> YouTube channel<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You&#8217;ll find more videos od this Ukranian brand <a href=\"https:\/\/ribsonly.com\/2\/category\/aquaspirit\/\">here.<\/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\"><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\/family-rib-buying-guide\">Family RIB Buying Guide<\/a>\u00a0\u00b7\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ribsonly.com\/2\/rib-console-types-and-ergonomics\">RIB Console Types and Ergonomics<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Specs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><tbody><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Model<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Aquaspirit S450<\/th><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Length overall<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">4.42 m<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Beam overall<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">2.14 m<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Cockpit width<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">2.03 m<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Draft (base load)<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">0.30 m<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Dry weight<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">212 kg<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Payload<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">390 kg<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Loaded displacement<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">981 kg<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Maximum load<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">793 kg<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Maximum persons<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">6<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Tube diameter<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">0.50 m<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Tube material<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">PVC \/ Hypalon 1,400 gsm<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Tube compartments<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">6<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Maximum engine power<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">75 hp \/ 220.6 kW**<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Engine shaft length<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">L \/ 20 in \/ 508 mm<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Fuel capacity<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">43 l<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Hull material<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Aluminium EN AW 5083 H111 (AlMg5)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Design category<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">C*<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aquaspirit.boats\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">source<\/a>, data may vary<br>* <a href=\"https:\/\/ribsonly.com\/2\/ce-categories-for-ribs-explained\/\">discover what this means<\/a><br>** The stated engine power of 220.6 kW \/ 75 hp is inconsistent. 75 hp equals approximately 55.2 kW.
