Precision engineering meets racing pedigree in this 1997 Buzzi 40 Rib. Designed by the legendary Fabio Buzzi, this vessel is based on the proven hull geometry of the Tecno 40, a design synonymous with maritime excellence and unmatched speed. The boat has undergone a professional gelcoat refurbishment with titanium additives to ensure longevity and a pristine finish, reflecting its history as a craft prepared for the prestigious Venezia Montecarlo race.
At the heart of its performance are 820 diesel monoturbina engines paired with specialized Buzzi surface drives. This setup allows for exceptional maneuverability and speed. The vessel is offered with two sets of surface propellers, enabling the owner to choose between an 82-mile per hour cruising configuration and a 79-mile per hour racing setup. The boat planes with ease at 24 knots, demonstrating the efficiency of its specialized hull design.
Practicality is not sacrificed for power, as this unit features a dedicated bathroom cabin and a stern platform for improved accessibility. Every technical component is built to withstand high-stress environments, consistent with the performance standards set by FB Design.
Currently located in Italy, this boat is available for viewing. The vessel is sold with IVA Pagata status. Given the specialized nature of the components, specifically the high-value propeller sets valued at 30,000 EUR per pair, this craft is an ideal selection for enthusiasts who demand competitive offshore performance and rigorous build quality.
