Scorpion RIBs Strike - redefining the RIB

The 9 metre Scorpion Strike redefines the RIB as we know it, blurring the edges between a practical rigid inflatable and a sports boat. The Strike is a high quality, great looking Sports RIB that takes the well-known ride and handling of a Scorpion to another level.

High quality RIB
The hull modifications have been worked out between Scorpion's Greek sister company, RIBCO and Scorpion RIBs UK and the superstructure of the boat has been designed under the guidance of Andy Griggs, Scorpion's head of design. Based on a remodelled Scorpion stepped hull and fitted with a single outboard engine, Scorpion's objective was to manufacture a high quality RIB with superior ride quality, good performance, safe handling and good fuel economy.

Twin-engine performance from a single outboard
Prototype Strike hulls have been on test during the past year and, using a single engine 300hp four stroke outboard, have been reaching speeds comfortably above 55 knots with fuel consumption of about 1 litre a mile at 35 knots. Both the ride and the handling have been above expectation.
