2013 Redbay Stormforce 7.4 Open

Stormforce 7.4 Open

With the development of the stern-drive and it's arrival on the RIB scene in the mid 90's Redbay Boats knew that this was a development opportunity that could not be missed. Aware that their existing designs would not carry the weight it was time for team to go back to the drawing board. The results were astounding, the hullform in our opinion is the smoothest and driest in the industry.

Stormforce 7.4 Open

Background
The Stormforce 7.4 is a powerful sea boat, featuring 22" diameter tubes designed to support the extra weight of diesel sterndrives.

Hullform

The Stormforce 7.4 is a deep V hull form, which is one of the reasons that this RIB has such fantastic abilities in rough offshore conditions. The deep V hull is combined with sprayrails to produce additional lift and improve the hydrodynamics of the hull. The tube is designed to sit firmly in contact with the water surface while at rest; this ensures that the RIB has maximum stability.







Configuration

The 7.4 is available with a full width engine bay, which is raised above the tubes with a single lid, and the bay features generous storage areas each side of the engine. Diesel power is provided by Yamaha Sterndrives. Outboard options (single or twin) are also available.

The 7.4 can be fitted with any of our consoles: 4 Seater, In line or Patrol versions. Additional seats, stern engine wells, bow lockers etc. are also available
