Stormforce 650

Hullform

The 650 has one of the best handling hulls in its class, and can easily out-perform larger rival RIBs in rough weather. Although the basic hull is that of the Stormforce 6.5, the 650 features a redesigned bow, sheer lines and the fact that it can be fitted with either 18″, 19″ or 20″ diameter tubes makes for a stable craft in any sea condition.
