New for 2023 MarineServices.ie is proud to be moving with the future with the addition of RS Electric RIBs to our stable. RS Electric Boats has announced that the new iteration of the Pulse 63, featuring a RAD40 (electric propulsion system) and increased battery capacity from 46kWh to 63kWh, will be on the market from August 2023.

RS Electric Boats has announced a new iteration of the Pulse 63, featuring a RAD40

RS Electric Boats has calculated that the integral RAD40 offers 45 per cent more efficiency than the previous configuration, which was already a significant leap in terms of electric RIBs. The Pulse 63 will have even more speed and range than it previously enjoyed.

Further to this, the new set-up means the Pulse 63 will enjoy extreme manoeuvrability. This is because the RAD40 head unit stays still and only the bottom of its leg swivels. As a result, the propeller can turn 90 degrees in each direction, offering a fantastic 180 degrees – allowing the Pulse to spin in its own length.

Vanguard RIBs

As part of our agreement with Selva, we are also suppliers of Vanguard RIBs, or particular interest to clubs would be the Pro Work line. We have supplied various Vanguard packages from the smaller 450 Pro Work above to the Pro Work 850 in passenger boat format with over 200 horsepower!

As always, it is best to contact [email protected] for a quote or to discuss your exact requirements.

Whatever it is your club or training centre requires, we can supply it for you!
