Should you buy a CENTRE CONSOLE Picnic style Adventure Boat? Testing the Ryck 280
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 лип 2024
- - PRICE IS BELOW - This Ryck 280 is ideal for a specific style of boating and in this video we discuss who would be best suited to to owning one of these German made adventure boats.
Having sold 270 Ryck's since I last tested one of these boats I can now see that the Ryck 280 has a whole range of benefits for those who spend more time aboard their boats. Think of this as the modern replacement to a sports cruiser from 10 - 15 years ago but with multiple added benefits such as amazing performance in choppy water, reliability from outboard power and uber good looks! I mean this boat is a real head turner and who doesn't enjoy that!

I just found your channel. It’s awesome, your reviews are thorough. Looking forward to your content.
An interesting boat
Oh cool! Welcome and plenty of videos coming as winter is now coming to an end.
Awesome channel and new to boating. Thank you for sharing your insights!
Welcome to the club! No worries
Thanks for this review!
No worries. This is currently my top pick for picnic style adventure boating
Tremendously detailed, helpful video, Dan. Here in the States, the availability of all these 'adventure boats' is still low while most dealerships have been kept small and focused on the powerboating mecca of South Florida's east coast. (Happily, I'm pleased to see Ryck is an exception to this with 9 east coast dealers). Consequently, your detailed reviews and at-sea performance runs have been super helpful to those of us who are shopping. Once again, many thanks!
That's interrsting Jack, so the whole category is still quite new to the States then?
@@BoatLife_DansBoatLife Dan, from what I've seen (and not seen...) Axopar made it here a few years ago in some numbers, but most of the others (Nimbus, Saxdor, the new'ish Quarken and Ryck) only more recently. I've only seen an American review for an XO, not any in brokerage listings. But I'm not sure it's fair to say awareness of the category is that new. UA-cam channels seem to have fanned the flames (BoatLife, MBY, Aqua, BoatTest, etc.). But that's just my impression. Sales data would be interesting. Having you over here would be even better!
I’ll get over there eventually!
Nice looking boat which looks fast and fun. Very good economy at speed. Over 4 nmpg.
I'm not 100% sure on the accuracy of the fuel flow meter on the day so may need to confirm that in another video for you. But yes the hull is inheritently very efficient.
@@BoatLife_DansBoatLife No worries. Thanks for the review.
Very nice video Dan! Have you ever sailed the Mediterranean? Would you have an opinion on how this category of boats handle rough seas compared to a RIB of similar length?
Yes I have, Greece, France, Italy, Croatia, Mallorca.
This style of boat is perfect for the Med. The biggest waves i ever saw in the Med was sailing to Mykonos where we had a little bit of wind and 4m waves. But the normal conditions everywhere i've seen so far is about as easy as you can get for boating. The wind chop and waves produced on the Med get eaten up by this hull style and use a low amount of fuel which I note is pretty expensive in Europe. Overall this is a perfect hull design for many different boating missions in the Med. I can think of many examples where it would be ideal.
@@BoatLife_DansBoatLife thanks for your feedback. I live in Greece and sail frequently the Aegean with my 5m RIB which has exceeded it’s limits. 2m waves are pretty common around here so i’m looking into a boat that could transport us safely and provide us with basic accommodation options. I’m really looking forward to a video review from you on rougher seas with any 27ish foot day cruiser (axopar, quarken, ryck, hydrolift)
@@PapadakisNikolas Yes I will absolutely be doing this. We get some big seas around here so that's pretty easy to organise. At this time the winds are mostly blowing offshore so I need to wait for some real challenging conditions to blow in before I can film that for you. I have personally surfed down very large long period ocean swells 6m+ in adventure boats with the engine in neutral and doing 22kts down the waves and I never once felt at risk. I was very cautious of the angle I approached the next wave but these hulls are generally so good in such a wide variation of conditions that it honestly does open up new adventures for you because you know the boat can get there. These are conditions that 10yrs ago when I would be driving sports cruisers we would not even attempt to leave the harbour but in an adventure boat it's just another day on the water.
Damn Dan, you really sold me on the Ryck! It's everything I want, but can't afford. Guess I will be saving a few more years before in trade in the Cranchi Clipper 760
Bloody inflation hey Ken! From what I observed this Ryck looks like a boat that will hold up well over time so you might pick up a quality used one in a year or so from now. I just hope they release some more models to build out the range now. I tested the Cranchi A46 and was impressed with the attention to detail. Keen to test some more when I get an opportunity.
I would love a hull like that with Searay 265 cruiser accommodation...
So this Ryck is the closest i've seen so far to getting that Sea Ray accomodation volume in an adventure boat. Not the same, but close and acceptable for a couple for an overnight.
So, what ever happened to "jack plates"? They would be very helpful with what you just demonstrated. Also with top end speed. Why do you think you don't see them anymore? In the early 90's, I had a 20 foot Sutphen hot rod outboard with a Merc Bridgeport EFI. (260 HP) The addition of a jack plate added about 5 MPH. Also allowed beaching on shallow water easy without using a lot of trim.
Interesting question. I don't know the answer. I'd say complexity for the mass market is the likely answer? I see your points however.
I love this boat (dreaming someday)
She's a real head turner this one
Is that fuel consumption for real? It seems really good!….great video!
No way its consuming only 30 liters at 4400 rpm
@@vrtincnavtikaI’m still watching it and haven’t id’d the motor yet.
But I have a 2015 Robalo R180 with a Yamaha 150 on the back. 20 litres per hour at 20 knots, and a linear increase to 30 litres per hour at 30 knots. So depending on the engine he could achieve that fuel flow.
I forgot the revs…. D’oh. 25 knots is around 3,900 rpm
Now I’ve seen it’s got a 350 on the back….. I’m inclined to believe you that it’s not fuel efficient…
It's under 5,000lbs. Basically 2 tonnes. With a cutting bow, stepped hull and one or two dudes on the boat in good weather, I trust Dan. He's just reading off the digital gauge. Boat wouldn't lie to you about how much fuel you've got left lol
Yeah I don't think the gauge was accurate to be honest. I couldn't see it from the other camera to check in the editing so I suspect the calibration or something was off. But I can't confirm that which is why I left it in. I'm going to check it at the next opportunity because it seemed way too low to me.
@@fearhand12 1 litre per nautical mile is just not possible with such boat
“Belly room” lol
