40 Rib

Engineered for speed and endurance, this 1997 Buzzi 40 Rib is a rare example of high-performance marine architecture designed by Fabio Buzzi. Built on the proven Tecno 40 hull platform, this used boat was specifically prepared for the demanding Venezia Montecarlo race. The vessel features a re-finished titanium-based gelcoat and maintains an aggressive profile optimized for heavy sea conditions. Propulsion is provided by twin 820hp diesel engines paired with Buzzi surface drives. This mechanical setup allows the craft to plane with ease at 24 knots. The boat includes two sets of specialized propellers: one set geared for a cruising speed of 82 knots and a second set configured for competitive racing at 79 knots. The investment value of these propeller sets alone is 30,000 EUR. Beyond its racing capabilities, the layout includes a dedicated bathroom cabin for basic utility and a stern swimming platform for access. The construction reflects the robust engineering standards synonymous with FB Design, ensuring structural integrity during high-speed transit. This vessel is currently located in Italy and is offered at 240,000 EUR with VAT paid. Please contact the agency for specific viewing arrangements or technical inspections.
