What size of outboard would you need to push this along?

I believe one went on the deaville rally, driven and owned by the altlantic web man who's name escapes me. I believe it had a 250 Mariner on it.
Heres the engine:

The description is a little confusing

thought the Atlantics were 21 feet long and made by the RNLI themselves in which case they had 2 x 70 evinrudes as standard fit. The Halmatic Arctics had a deep V hull all the way to the stern like the ADS pointed out. However agree with ADS, a big V6 2 stroke at 30 gallons an hour should push her along nicely

I've seen these with a twin setup aka: RNLI syle just didn't know what the power output was. Perhaps it could be fitted with a next generation desiel engine?

The atlantic 21 was a halmatic rib which is supplied to the lifeboat who then fitted it out with there own equipment. They use twin 70hp evinrudes. The boat on boats and outboards is an arctic 22 which was built by halmatic and supplied to the army and the navy.

This boat will take anything from single 90hp to 225hp or twin 75hp upto twin 175hp.

I have just had one of these in which I sold, It had twin 115HP engines and did about 45 knots flat out.

These are one of the best built boats which will take you through most weather (skipper dependant).

That pic looks like a floating fuel station.

You couldn't afford to smoke on that boat....

Notice that none of them appear to be strapped down either...Scary.

The Mod Artic 22 with twin Mariner 90, 2 strokes will do about 36knts. We have tried one with twin 135 strokes on, i cant remember how quick it was but we were told by the customer that it was to fast and too twitchy, so they went for the twin 90s.

Hightower, are you interested in this boat or just inquisitive? It's not too far away if you need someone to take a peak at it. I'm familiar with Ferry Marine. They always seemed reasonable guys to me.

That ad has just been re done on boatsandoutbaords and is now advertised at £50k

Searider · 03 November 2005, 09:14

If I remember correctly,

The Atlantics were also offered by Halmatic as rescue craft for North Sea standy vessels and the like.

Arctic has tubes secured in an aluminium channel.
Atlantic has tubes glued on.

Atlantic has wide planing flat on the bottom
Arctic - not sure if it does or not - but suspect not.

My old boss had an ex RNLI Atlantic 21. Very well balanced boat. Twin 50/55hp two cylinder Evinrudes and made 32/33 knots.
Planing flat made for a bit of a harsh ride when going fast but good accelleration.
Fantastic quality build.
If it makes 33 knots from 110hp it should be reasonably economical with a modern engine?

Put an opti / e-tec / hpdi on it of about 150hp and I reckon it should do maybe 40 knots and cruising at a bit below 30 at 1 litre per mile?

Could be a good boat and not a lot of money if the condition is good.

Many moons ago (1992?) had a ride in a MOD Police RIB which I think was an Arctic 22 with twin 140hp (2 stroke) Suzukis. Went like stink.

Spoken with Paul at Ferry Marine and this is an Arctic 22 not atlantic. It is £5k as per first advert (not £50k as the second one suggested).

Anyone know the weight of this boat?

Hightower · 03 November 2005, 20:23

Ahhh right, that's why he re-advertised it then. Still I think it'll be a bargain for someone.

Tim did Paul say he'd take an offer for it?

Tim M · 03 November 2005, 20:25

Nothing about an offer. I quite fancy it my self, if only it weren't all the way up there.....

I think that fully loaded an RNLI Atlantic is about 1500kg?

Hightower · 03 November 2005, 22:36

I would think it is more like 2500kg's fully rigged with a tank of gas. Pete 7 would have an Idea.

3200lbs for an Atlantic 75 with twin 70hp:

2500kg sounds about right for a Pacific.

Hightower · 04 November 2005, 12:28

Ahrr lighter than I expected. They are well solid boats though!

Dave Manning wouldn't have a problem

Pete7 · 04 November 2005, 17:06

Andy, at 1600 kgs you might need one of these trailers to launch it,
