New Avon Adventure 580 Sea Trial

We fitted out the new Avon Adventure 580 for it's press release at the London Boat Show, so we took it out to see how she goes.

Hi,

yes, 150hp is the maximum, same as the 620.

I don't know to be honest! I noted 38mph at one point, nowhere near WOT though, I wasn't driving at the time. It was very rough out of the river and into the Solent, there was a huge swell so didn't get it flat out.

I wouldn't expect a new 620 for a while. They have just launched the 580 and the new 4 stroke Jet RIB range.
