Sealegs 7.1M Sport RIB: BoatTEST Review
Overview
The SeaLegs 7.1 Amphibious RIB is a versatile vessel designed to serve both as a tender and a practical boat for waterfront homeowners. Powered by the Evinrude E-Tech 150 outboard engine, this amphibious boat combines innovative engineering with commercial-grade construction, making it suitable for both recreational and professional use. Its amphibious capabilities allow seamless transition between water and land, enhancing accessibility and convenience.
Power and Performance
The SeaLegs 7.1 is equipped with the Evinrude E-Tech 150, a two-stroke engine notable for its advanced features such as no break-in requirement, auto-winterization, and a robust 133-amp alternator supporting extensive electronics. The engine is saltwater approved and eliminates the need for mixing oil and fuel by utilizing a separate oil tank that the engine draws from as needed. In the event the oil tank runs dry, the engine enters a safe mode, operating at reduced power for up to five hours without damage. On the water, the boat reaches a top speed of 42.2 mph at 5,500 rpm, with an economical cruising speed of 25 mph at 3,500 rpm consuming six gallons per hour. This fuel efficiency allows for a range of approximately 177 miles while maintaining a 10% fuel reserve. Handling is typical of a rigid inflatable boat, with the 21-inch Hypalon tube providing cushioning and the single-piece aluminum hull offering flotation. The boat exhibits minor chine walk during turns but generally maintains good grip and maneuverability. In choppy conditions, the bow may produce a wet ride, which is expected for an open boat of this design.
Amphibious Capability and Operation
The defining feature of the SeaLegs 7.1 is its amphibious functionality. Transitioning from water to land involves engaging a 22-horsepower air-cooled Honda engine located beneath the helm seat, which powers hydraulics to deploy the front and rear drive wheels. After lowering the wheels and minimizing propeller immersion, the operator engages the wheel drive to propel the boat onto the beach. Once ashore, the boat can be tilted and leaned to facilitate easy boarding without the need to climb over tubes or ladders. Returning to the water involves reversing this process: lowering wheels to level the boat, raising them for water travel, stowing the wheels, and switching propulsion back to the Evinrude outboard. The maximum land speed is approximately six miles per hour, prioritizing torque to enable climbing slopes up to a 30% grade. Both engines share the same fuel and electrical systems, with dual fuel tanks that can be switched as needed. The internal drive engine will only start when the outboard ignition is activated.
Features and Helm Layout
The SeaLegs 7.1 comes well-equipped, particularly in the SLI package, which includes essential electronics such as a VHF radio, chart plotter, stereo system with speakers, and lighting features including headlights and floodlights. The all-wheel drive system features a differential lock for enhanced traction. The boat also includes a stainless steel swim ladder and seating capacity for eight passengers. Boarding can be accomplished via the tubes or non-skid steps at the stern. The helm is ergonomically arranged with the Evinrude engine controls to the right, an I-Command gauge providing selectable information ahead, and the wheel drive shift lever and throttle positioned conveniently. Rocker switches for raising and lowering the wheels are located on the panel, and the steering wheel controls both the outboard engine and the front wheel drive.
Construction and Durability
SeaLegs builds all its boats to commercial specifications, ensuring robust construction suitable for saltwater environments. The use of commercial-grade components and materials contributes to the boat's durability and reliability, making it a practical choice for both recreational users and waterfront homeowners seeking a dependable amphibious craft.
Conclusion
The SeaLegs 7.1 Amphibious RIB offers a unique and practical boating experience by combining reliable performance on water with the ability to operate on land. Its advanced Evinrude E-Tech 150 engine, commercial-grade build, and comprehensive feature set make it a versatile vessel that simplifies access to waterfront properties and enhances boating convenience. While it exhibits some typical RIB characteristics such as a wet ride in chop, its amphibious capabilities and thoughtful design provide significant advantages for users seeking an innovative and functional boat.
