Winter Weather Boating

We recently completed a successful sea trial of one of our new 21’ aluminum RIBCRAFT 6.5s. What a boat! I’ve attached a few photos for you to enjoy.

It was a freezing cold day – not much above 9 degrees – but I’m thankful the boat was equipped with a canvas enclosure. It really did exactly what it was intended to do – protect the crew from the elements. Choosing to go with a T-top with drop down sides is a great cost effective alternative to a full fiberglass or aluminum enclosure. This set up will provide needed protection and warmth in the colder months while still providing the feel of an open boat during the summer.

Wes - this boat is going to be used by a Harbormaster in Rhode Island for patrols as well as search and rescue operations.

Is there a heater on board?

Scooter - No, this boat doesn't have a heater. With the roll down sides and the overall size of the enclsoure it's not really practical. However, on the larger boats with a fiberglass or aluminum enclosure a heater is actually quite common.
