Mercury Inflatable Boats introduces V Series

FOND DU LAC, Wis. (Nov. 3, 2005) - Mercury Inflatable Boats, a division of industry-leader Mercury Marine, is unveiling its remarkable new line of V Series Rigid Inflatable Boats (RIBs) Nov. 3-6 at the Fort Lauderdale (Fla.) International Boat Show. The V Series includes five center-console RIBs built to fit a plethora of applications. The entire line - from the seven-person V-400 at 13 feet, 1

inch, to the 17-person V-620 at 20 feet, 2 inches - is loaded with standard features typically found only on the most expensive RIBs. Each model has a fast-planing V-hull design, large-diameter tubes for a smooth ride, generous storage space and internal and external grab lines for safety and convenience. The V-520 can be seen in Fort Lauderdale at the AquaScan Inflatables display, located in booth No. 1082 at the Bahia Mar portion of the show. Mercury Marine has long been the world leader in recreational marine propulsion systems with a full line of outboards, sterndrives, inboards and accessories. It has sold inflatable boats for more than a decade and is a global leader in that category as well. V Series hulls are made with the exclusive Vitech vacuum injection technology for the ultimate in performance and durability. Tubes are made of Hypalon, a premium-quality, heavy-duty fabric that provides outstanding resistance to abrasion, hydrocarbons, flame, ultraviolet light and fading. Hypalon is so resilient that Mercury Inflatable Boats backs the fabric with a 10-year limited warranty. All models in the V Series are white with navy blue accents. These boats offer outstanding quality and high capacity without compromising a high level of comfort and security. From tubing and wakeboarding to fishing and coastal cruising, the V Series is the perfect boat for just about any on-water activity. Maximum horsepower varies by model from 40 hp on the V-400 to 150 hp on the V-620. Recommended power for the V Series is Mercury OptiMax or Mercury FourStroke engines. The three largest models - the V-520, V-570 and V-620 - also feature non-slip teak-laminate flooring, three lockers (bow, stern and anchor), hydraulic steering, double-wide backrest seating, integral fuel tank, electric bilge pump, a diving ladder and a spacious sundeck. The V-620 even has a deck shower for swimmers' comfort and easy boat cleanup, as well as an integral navigation frame. But even with all of these features, the V-620 weighs in at just 1,071 pounds without power. The two smaller models - the V-400 and V-450 - have the distinction of carrying the “Unsinkable Hull” seal of the prestigious Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) organization. The V Series can be ordered immediately at any authorized Mercury Inflatable Boats dealer.
