XS 650 Rib: UK Made Leisure and Commercial Craft
The XS 650 is a superb Blue Water cruising boat. Suited to Single motors of 115-200 hp and twins upto 90 hp. The deep V hull and generous beam give it great pay load carrying and a dry ride. The high bow makes it a really safe boat in following and head seas. A 6.5 m craft is about the largest craft that you can tow behind a "normal" car.
There are a wide range of consoles and seating layouts and this craft is ideal as a family sports boat and a great Work boat, it provides the basis to build a fully MCA compliant Cat 4 work boat from.
