Hydrosport 828 “Papa Bravo”

This Hydrosport RIB will be built to the specifications of one of the owners of Roda Boats. The boat must be a headturner on one side but also suitable for amateur racing. After doubting between the 909 with 2*200hp engine and a 828 with 1*300hp the choice fell on the 828. If the joystick of Yamaha had been available the choice would have been the 909. Both have some advantages over each other but the choice fell on the 828 for the bigger autonomy and lower running costs.

The wishes for the “Papa Bravo” where:

• Top speed 60+ knots
• Sufficient autonomy (200+ nautical miles)
• Headturner and showcase of the Hydrosport capabilities
• Comfortable family boat (BBQ, snorkelling, wakeboarding ect)

The prototype of 828 is the 808 model, which were both built and designed by Eddy Johansen. This design from Eddy was capable of 53 knots with a single 225hp engine. The 828 with 300hp engine should be good for 60+ knots.
