Rapid^TM is a new heavy duty RIB (Rigid inflatable boat) introduced to the Australian market by Bulldog Trading Pty Ltd. Combining safety and performance this range of boats are hard to beat all round, with a woven mat fibreglass hull (normally only seen on off shore racing hulls) and an option for heavy duty PVC or Hypalon pontoons. There is plenty of storage for dive gear and loads of deck space for your guest and or surf boards etc. The ride and sea keeping performance is second to none, rough seas are a breeze thanks to a deep V shaped hull and the fine angled dead rise at the bow. These features also make this range of boats extremely dry in rough seas adding to the cruising pleasure. Check out our photo page for proof on performance.
