2018 Brig E780

The BRIG Eagle 780 mixes a stable ride with economical performance. Its 7.8-meter length (25 feet 9 inches) can bridge three to four waves at once, while its deep-V hull (23-degree deadrise at transom, flowing to 38 degrees forward) cleaves them open. And this RIB’s 2-foot diameter Hypalon tubes absorb whatever impact there is when the hull comes down while also knocking down spray.  Aboard this boat, it’s easy to see why first responders and law-enforcement agencies often choose a RIB. Yet the Eagle 780 is not an austere chase boat. There’s a huge bow sun pad, with an anchor windlass beneath it, and the sun pad can connect with the seat in front of the console for extra length. The stylish console offers space for large electronics displays, along with 4 feet 5 inches of headroom inside for changing clothes.
