2026 Gala V8

The Gala V8 is a 26-foot rigid inflatable boat built on a deep-V aluminum hull designed for rough water and substantial seas. The aluminum construction uses Gala's welded ALU-TECH process for structural rigidity, with a powder-coated finish and chromate-free titanium hull protection. The boat accommodates up to 14 passengers and is rated for a maximum 400 HP engine, with 300 HP recommended.

The cockpit layout prioritizes both space and functionality. A self-bailing design with doubled drains keeps water clear, while the motor well and transom extensions integrate the engine neatly. The five-chamber buoyancy tube is available in either Valmex or Hypalon, with soft curves and a rubbing strake fitted with splash guard. Standard seating includes a driver seat with two folding chairs, a rear bench, and additional seating in the rear locker. Storage compartments, handrails, and a bow locker provide practical organization, while a transom platform with telescopic ladder simplifies water access.

Standard equipment includes SEADECK antiskid decking throughout, a 350-liter fuel tank, steering console, SILVERTEX upholstery, and a repair kit with manual. A bow step plate with back cushion, lifting eyes, and tow eye complete the base specification. Optional features expand capability significantly—a hydraulic steering system, fiberglass hard top, freshwater system with shower, blackwater toilet system, kitchenette with cooktop and refrigerator, LED deck lighting, radar mast, removable sundecks, and anchor kit with winch are all available factory options.
