Two 350 HP outboards for 44 knots

After the launch of the BWA 40 WL in 2017, the RIB manufacturer Ribitaly is presenting the new BWA 40 WL FB Premium for 2021. Although it retains the deck layout of its predecessor, this model introduces some new features. First of all, the engine.

The BWA 40 WL FB Premium now accommodates outboard engines and can handle up to 900 HP. But it is in a recommended configuration of 2X350 HP Suzuki that it shows its full potential, exceeding 44 knots.

Another new feature is that all the space previously reserved for inboard engines can now accommodate a second cabin with a large double berth.

With this new outboard version, the manufacturer is in line with the market trend and offers a larger boat with a more affordable price and more habitability.

A spacious deck plan

The large foredeck receives a full sunbathing area, while the console on the roof provides a second relaxation area. Handrails make it possible to hold on while sailing, but also make the circulation on board safer.

The cockpit is spacious to accommodate all the necessary instrumentation and is equipped with two pilot seats. The seating area has a kitchenette at the rear for preparing meals. The U-shaped saloon makes it possible to enjoy the navigation or a moment at anchor around a large retractable table.

Finally on the back, the sunbathing area is generous and can accommodate up to 3 people without any problems. It overhangs the bathing platform whose wide skirts facilitate access to the water.
