Rêvo Boxta NRP jet boat

Originally designed to go on the back of a Rêvo 9 metre jet boat boat so the owner could explore all of South Wesland. She is an extremely capable river and open water boat. Her very soft riding hull is unusual for a jet boat and yet she can operate in very shallow rivers as well. Shown here boating up the hidden falls rapid in very low flow conditions. As the owners says "there is nowhere I can't go in this boat"
Note that the trailer it sits on is a plastic trailer as well, the first in NZ and possibly the world.

Rêvo Boxta 45 NRP V8 jet boat

The owner of the original Boxta is so impressed he wants a 4-5 seat version as well. Shown here are renderings of the Boxta 45, a 4-5 seater V8 powered jet boat.
Capable of speeds in excess of 120 Km/Hr and like her little sister very capable in rivers and open water with a soft riding hull.

Rêvo Boxta 4043

The biggest Boxta. The client is deciding between this style and the Rêvo Graceous 43 below. Same 370 Yanmar and Scott jet combination.

Rêvo Graceous NRP classic styled jet boat

A classic styled 40 foot plastic jet boat powered by a Yanmar 370 with a Scott 952 jet with a top speed of 26 knots. The owner is deciding between this classic style Graceous 40 and a more contempory Boxta 4043 shown below

Rêvo 1402 sailing catamaran Combination FRP/NRP (non-reinforced plastic)

Originally designed in alloy, after seeing the Rêvo 742 NRP powercat, the client asked if it could be designed in plastic. So it is back on the board to be re-configured for NRP construction. Designed as a live aboard for cruising the world, she features an easily handled rig for short handed sailing and a superb layout with two cockpits and an internal helm station at the front of the bridgedeck.

Rêvo 42 semi-displacement powercat combination of NRP (non-reinforced plastic) and FRP

42 foot semi-displacement FRP powercat. Powered by twin 150 horsepower engines coupled to jet drives. A cost effective and practical boat with great spaces for living aboard and maintenance free NRP construction. 3 Double cabins and one head in the hulls plus a night lounge each side. Living spaces are up in the bridgedeck and a massive uncluttered deck area with aft cockpit and easy water access.

A composite version of the Rêvo WASP 742

With full accommodation sleeping 4 in permanent berths. One queen and two singles, with head and shower, and small galley for tripping around the Hauraki Gulf and out to Great Barrier Island in New Zealand. The owner builder wanted her designed in composite construction with a full cabin, not the forward cockpit version shown here. These WASP hulls are unlike any powercat you would have ever seen before with remarkable handling and performance. The design breaks new ground and leaves behind all the limitations of conventional powercats currently available. Described Colin Simpson, a professional skipper, as "the best powercat he has ever been on by a long way".

On-going design work for DIYNO Kitset Boats range of boats.

This includes an 801 standard modified for a diesel powered jet drive running a Duramax 360 horsepower engine and a Hamilton 274 jet unit.

The first of the new 361 Jet kits will be delivered to Queenstown in the coming months (2019).

These capable little boats are more fun for your dollar than any boat around. As always, capable in lakes and open water as much as in rivers, they are much safer than many of the mini jet boats but will take you anywhere and everywhere. One is being built in the Waikato and another about to be built in Queenstown.
