The 2024 Rupert R8 is a 26-foot rigid inflatable built on a fiberglass hull and powered by a single 300 hp Mercury V8 outboard engine. Swedish-designed, the R8 is built for performance and durability, with a beam of just over 9 feet providing substantial deck space. The boat reaches a top speed of 49 knots and cruises at 30 knots.
Navigation and weather protection are well equipped: the boat features dual Garmin plotters, black radar, and a T-top canvas cover. The engine shows 75 hours of service time.
The R8 is engineered for seakeeping ability and rough-water capability, with a hull design that handles challenging conditions. Ample open deck space makes it suitable for serious cruising and adventure use.
