Builder: Tideman Boats B.V. Model: RBB 550 WJ Length: 6m Beam: 2.3m Displacment: 1400kg Lightweight 2000kg Laden REFERENCE Power: 236hp Steyr Motors Diesel Jet: Alamarin-Jet AJ 245 Speed: 33 knots Dutch based HDPE boatbuilder Tideman Boats B.V. recently unveiled their latest military / commercial vessel the RBB 550 WJ. Tideman Boats build indestructable boats, and therefore use Alamarin-Jets as the perfect propulsion solution for their vessels when only the strongest, toughest product will do the job. Bruno Tideman said The boat is indestructible, made from HDPE, which is very high impact resistance. With the extremely shallow draft of 0.20m, low radar signature, capable airplane drop and also unsinkable because of PE buoyancy balls below deck, this is a vessel we are very proud of.
