Brunswick Commercial and Government Products Announces New RIB Product Line
March 24, 2009 - Edgewater, Fla. – Brunswick Commercial and Government Products
(BCGP), the leading manufacturer of commercial and government watercraft, announced today
that it will expand its product line and offer professional grade rigid inflatable boats (RIB).
The new Impact RIB product line ranges in size from 14 to 39 feet in length, with center console
and cabin models and various propulsion options including inboard, diesel, waterjet, or outboard
configurations up to triples. The hull is made of fiberglass with a beefed up commercial
laminate schedule for durability, and the RIB tube is made from SOLAS certified AKRON™
TPE fabric. The AKRON™ TPE fabric has extremely high abrasion resistance – five times
greater than neoprene/hypalon. It also features resistance to pollution, deterioration caused by
UV Rays, and superior puncture resistance.
“Expanding our product offering is in direct response to customer demand,” explained Jeremy
Davis, BCGP sales manager. “A high quality, professional grade RIB is essential to some
agencies. Those same agencies understand the economic challenges in the marine industry
today, and want to deal with a company that has a solid history. Brunswick Commercial &
Government Products has been providing crafts to commercial and government customers for
over 40 years.”
Brunswick Commercial and Government Products is the pre-eminent supplier of boats for law
enforcement, homeland security, special operations and combat and fire rescue, as well as,
workboat applications. The Impact RIB line adds to BCGP’s extensive range of product
offerings, which is unmatched in the commercial and government marketplace and includes
commercial grade Boston Whaler boats, Triton commercial products and high-speed intercept
FB Design craft. The new Impact RIBS will be showcased along with other BCGP products at
the Multi Agency Craft Conference (MACC) in Norfolk, Va., June 2-6, 2009.
