Quick Response Vessel

Designed and Engineered by Russell Powerboats

 

The thought process behind the QRV was to design a craft that gives the speed and manoeuvrability of a personal water craft but the surefooted feel and protection of a sports rib and so the QRV was born.

Based on the Sea Doo s3 hull and powered by the Rotax 4 stroke jetdrive with Hp ratings from 155hp – 260hp speeds of 68 mph can be achieved by this craft. Given the added stability offered by the inclusion of the sport rib design inflatable tubes, this outstanding creation has helped to make boating an even more enjoyable experience for all.

The tubes themselves not only offer maximum safety but with performance still being a key factor in their design. They are able to realize rail like turning, speed and stability without compromise. By using only the latest technology and materials the QRV by Russell Powerboats has been extensively tested in a verity of sea condition and the results have seen a marked improvement over the original personal water craft design in connection with rough water handling in a number of aspects.
