Coventry, Rhode Island recently took delivery of a 19’ RIBCRAFT 5.85 for their police department. This specialized RIB enhances their patrol and response capabilities while providing a safe platform for public safety efforts during on-water events.
Located in the Pawtuxet River Valley, the department primarily operates on Johnson’s Pond but needed a vessel that could easily be towed to other waterways in town as needed. RIBCRAFT worked with the Police Chief and Lieutenant to understand the department’s needs and outfit the 5.85 to meet mission requirements. Based on a previous Rhode Island DEM Division of Law Enforcement contract, the new patrol boat is well equipped and answers the need for a reliable marine presence in the community.
The RIB features a center console with front bench seat, operator leaning post, full size windscreen mounted to a T-top, fore and aft tow posts, engine crash rail and keel guard. Powered by a 115HP Yamaha outboard, the boat reaches speeds in excess of 42mph while still providing unparalleled safety and unsurpassed performance. Equipped with a black multi-chambered heavy-duty Hypalon tube complete with bow reinforcing, boarding wear patches, and custom reflective lettering, the RIBCRAFT 5.85 provides a durable, stable, and seaworthy platform
