PROTECTOR Boats of Auckland, New Zealand has launched its new line of luxury cabin RIBs with the Targa SL 38’. Engineered for speed, comfort and safety in any weather conditions, the Targa SL has an extra large cabin, open deck space, refrigerated storage, fully enclosed head, hydraulic shock absorbing pilot and co-pilot seating, extended hard top, teak decks and sleeping accommodations for two.
“Performance, our customers tell us, is what sets PROTECTOR apart from other boats in this category,” explains Gary Rolfe, General Manager of PROTECTOR USA in Tiburon, CA. “PROTECTOR boats handle rough water more safely and comfortably than traditional hardsided boats. Additionally, they are faster.
Powered with twin Mercury 300 HP Verado engines, the Targa SL can comfortably hit 40+knots if you need to reach your destination quickly.”
PROTECTOR Boats were originally engineered for the N.Z. Coast Guard. The company builds commercial and recreational RIBs, all with solid laminate, fiberglass deep-V hulls and chambered hypalon tubes. Custom-equipped commercial PROTECTORs have been built for police, fire and search and rescue teams across the country, and the boats are favored by owners of large ocean racing sailboats as high capacity tenders that can handle rough conditions.
PROTECTOR’s current recreational line includes a Center Console (22’, 25’, 28’), Targa (28’, 35’), Targa SL (38’) and the Hauraki (40’). For more information, visit protectorboats.com.
