Brig Eagle 8 review | 50-knot super RIB test drive | Motor Boat & Yachting

[@patrickhardy6354]

Can we see more of the boat. Not once do we see the whole boat.

[@The.Norwegian]

I just did 51.5 knots today with a Brig 8 that had a full tank of gas, powered by a Yamaha F350. The boat handles surprisingly well, and is the only RIB i have ever enjoyed driving. (I have driven every other boat Brig makes, except the biggest one. I am a boat mechanic.)

[@The.Norwegian]

@Alan Howlett No, not at all. It had Seastar steering without power assist

[@chrisduc1]

I would like to take this boat but not with a 6 Zylinder , 350 horses. I would like to have a Mercury pro xs 300 , a V8 with 4,6 l cubic .did you test the zodiac boats ?? Should be running stabil as the Brigs , right??

[@chrisduc1]

@Alan Howlett thank you for the quick response . I know about this problems . Ordering now means getting the boat next year in June , July. The question was the engine …. Your opinion about the V8 300 to the V 6 -.-? the weight difference is just 20 kg And what’s your thoughts about zodiac ?? We think about a Zodiac Medline 75 with a V8 300 horses and a brig eagle 🦅 6,7 ….with a 225 horses V6, or even a V8 / 225 horses🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️

@Alan Howlett I test drove another Brig 8 with a 300 Mercury v8. It runs fine (47 knots) just not as wild as the 350 Yamaha v8.

[@The.Norwegian]

@@chrisduc1 The Brig 6.7 with a Yamaha F225 does 54 knots. It's a beast. I felt it was overpowered.

[@BoateronTour]

We can't we see the boat from outside?

[@maxflight777]

Having a heads compartment will transform days out on the RIB.

[@tinyshedcrafts3974]

Silly free music instead of hearing the engine... Why?

[@tonyadeney1245]

used to sail sailing dinghies ---------- at one point added a rear view mirror // often wondered why more boats dont do same --- docking was useful .... /// maybe compare five ribs under 100k ---- under 60k so on --- like the comparisons -- // and like stating the cost as seen ---- which helps amount of times gone to look at car /// by time its the same as the marketing picture its far more than the cost quoted ... well done ... //

NICE ONE.

[@davidfrank2824]

I'm sitting here trying to figure out how I can turn that into a tender for my boat. That has a lot of great features. Of course the speed doesn't hurt either. I still cannot get over how quiet that Suzuki engine was. I don't have any experience with them and I cannot think of any of my friends that have one either.

[@lukemallet916]

There amazing. They have chain not rubber belt they last forever

[@alexti2010]

Did it work? Also du you know by chance if they offer the Eagle 8 with SOLAS certification?

[@nicolagray48]

I love brig🎉🎉

[@wilkinsonyachtbrokerUK]

£86,000 inc vat, bit different now for a new one!

[@richardbailey754]

Yep, exactly 50% more expensive!!

[@Izrafil]

less music let us hear the damn engine ffs!

[@chrisdevers2942]

Why the useless music? The engine sound would be preferable...

[@RogerWilco1]

Toilet is game changer.

[@MrPantss]

Nooooooooo you put music over the acceleration! I so wanted to hear the engine pick up 👎🏻

[@Jason_King.]
