Rosborough Boats
Introduces New
RIB
Rosborough Boats of Halifax Nova
Scotia has introduced a new line of semi-
custom RIBs. The Rough Water line was
developed to meet the growing demand
for RIBs that have more personnel carry-
ing capacity, workability space and opera-
tional stability. The Wide Body Rough
Water 30 boasts a full 6 ft. working floor
width, five crew wheelhouse and a for-
ward area suitable for equipment and
safety gear.
Working and cockpit floor areas are
large with a fore deck area at the bow. All
decks are molded in nonskid and hatches
are tread plate. The under floor area for-
ward accessed through two water tight
hatches offer storage and carry hold
capacity.
The dual fuel tanks are equal in capaci-
ty and together provide a total 170 imp.
gallons for extended operations.
Construction of all the Rough Water
hulls, floors and superstructure compo-
nents is with vinlyester resins and combi-
nation of material engineer to exacting
scantlings. Layout configurations are
semi custom to fit the individual use at
hand. Rough Water RIBS have a heavy
weight Hypalon collar with a unique
attachment system that allows changing
of the collar by the user to minimize
down-time in the event of damage.
The wheelhouse is configured with
pilot doors each side and full sliding rear
doors to aft work area. A nonskid side
deck system allows for ease of travel up
the side of the vessel without walking on
the Hypalon tube set and there is a crouch
access hatch forward out through the
cuddy as well.
Fifteen 30-ft. Rough Water full wheel-
house wide body boats are now owned by
the Canadian Coast Guard and Canada's
Fisheries & Oceans Conservation and
Protection Police, for operation and train-
ing in Quebec, New Brunswick, Price
Edward Island, Nova Scotia and New-
foundland. These units supplied to the
Canadian DFO and CCG are equipped
with diesel furnaces for year round opera-
tions in the North Atlantic & Gulf of St.
Lawrence.
Powered with twin Yamaha 150 hp four
stroke outboards, the Rough Water 30
develops speeds of 40 knots with continu-
ous cruise speeds up to 35 knots. Rosbor-
ough's test version of the Rough Water 30
wide body was configured with a pair of
Mercury 225 hp. EFI Offshore outboards
that provide a top speed of 55 knots with
a continuous cruise of 45 knots.

“Side scan sonars are one of the most
effective tools for underwater searches
because they create a detailed picture of
what’s on the bottom. The printout
“removes the water” giving a clear pic-
ture of the bottom.
Fishers SSS-100K side scan lets you
search large areas quickly, the SSS-600K
finds even the small soft targets, and the
SSS-100/600K combines the best fea-
tures of both systems.
Each of their side scan sonars produce a
17” wide high resolution printout to give
you a detailed picture unmatched by
other low cost side scan systems.”
