Willard Marine, Inc. unveiled its new SEA

FORCE 777. The military-grade, ? berglass, rigid hull in? atable boat (RHIB) is 7.77 x 2.74- m and designed with a deep-V hull. The pow- ertrain includes a Steyr SE306J38 diesel engine with ZF-63 marine gear driving a Hamilton

Jet drive HJ-274 providing 300 hp for a nine- member crew, able to achieve 32 knots. Nine

Ullman Dynamics shock-mitigating seats are installed. The 40-ounce polyurethane WING in? atable collar is UV-coated and includes a seven-panel bow cover and rub-strakes to re- duce risk of boat damage upon boarding and stability during weight shifts. The 777 can support a variety of blue-water missions in- cluding rescue, patrol and visit, board, search and seizure. Built to ABYC standards, the new

SEA FORCE 777 can also be made in alumi- num and can accommodate various seating con? gurations, law enforcement equipment, electrical packages, weather protection and navigation devices.
