Argos Nautic of South Florida says its new outboard-powered RIB tender was designed for those with a preference for European style. Designed by Patrizio Facheris, who has a studio in Bradenton, Florida, the GT14 measures 13 feet, 10 inches LOA and seats six. Facheris specializes in custom builds and is known for his sleek superyacht concepts, but he’s worked with a number of production builders too, including Cruisers Yachts and Cobalt.
The GT14’s internal beam of 4 feet, 5 inches allows for legroom and storage space. Owners have the option to customize the bow seat and add a bench to port of the center console, increasing the RIB’s capacity to seven passengers.
According to the builder, the RIB strikes a thoughtful balance between comfort, ample storage and adrenaline-pumping performance. The GT14’s standard power is a 50-hp outboard, which produces a top speed of 26 knots. Owners can also opt for the 70-hp outboard, which pushes the top speed to 31 knots.
The GT14 weighs 925 pounds, making it easy to store or launch from davits and cranes. The tender price starts at $26,400.
