WALKER BAY BOATS INC. ADDS 21
BOATS WITH A NEW LINE
OF REVOLUTIONARY RIBS & INFLATABLES
Walker Bay Boats Inc. has expanded its fleet to include a
revolutionary line of performance RIBs and Inflatables: Genesis and Odyssey.
Andrew Taylor, President of Walker Bay Boats, says, “This impressive new line
redefines the market for small Inflatables by combining performance, ingenuity
and aesthetics in one package. Walker Bay now offers the most complete range of
tender choices available from a single manufacturer.”

Designed to Perform
The new finely tuned Genesis hull design combined with Walker Bay’s proprietary
High Impact Marine Composite (HIMC) construction, ensures a smooth solid ride
while absorbing vibration and cutting easily through rough chop. The light hull
and trim tabs enable the boats to plane quickly so smaller engines achieve
greater speeds. With 25 hp on the 340 or 15 hp on the 310, the boats plane in
less than 3 seconds, reaching speeds up to 25 knots. The new V-hull design
incorporates dynamic hull channels, integrated trim tabs, and a V-Lift™ recess
in the stern keel. These features combine to improve water flow, optimize
planing performance and improve maneuverability at high speeds. Stiffer and
lighter than fiberglass, the aluminum reinforced transom further contributes to
its unmatched performance versus other RIBs.

Smart Spacious Design for Comfort
The innovative Genesis tube design has a continuing taper which offers a wider
bow area for more internal space and easier entry to the boat. Shaped to support
body contours, the padded ergonomic seat has an integrated lid that can be
lifted to reveal a versatile storage unit with a removable compartmented storage
tray. Below the tray is space for a fuel tank to be secured. There is also space
for the fuel line to run under the floor boards to the engine. An optional
ventilated storage bag is great for storing life jackets, etc., under the seat.
In the bow, dry storage with flush access handles is easily accessible. Placed
individually within easy reach on each side of the boat are three webbing
handles, while a separate bow handle and two aft handles have been placed
upright for carrying the boat.

Easy to Use, Easy to Maintain
Unlike any other line of smaller RIB’s, Genesis makes use of a removable tube
system. If a tube is damaged it may be removed easily by a dealer and a new tube
can be installed without glue. There are two integrated wheels in the aft
underside of the boat making it easy for one person to roll the boat on a boat
ramp. The virtually indestructible one-piece HIMC hull can be dragged up on the
rocks and the replaceable keel strip in the bow gives added protection for this
high wear area when pulling the boat up on the shore. All boats have three
integrated davit lifting eyes that work with crane style davit systems
Innovative Features Make it Worthwhile
All Genesis boats have a removable non slip-floor that inserts into hull
channels with flush fitting quick release clips. The floor is slotted for
drainage and there are slots to strap down coolers, gas tanks, etc. The
anti-splash guard rub rail is specially designed and positioned for a drier
ride. The Genesis RT (rigid transom), FT (folding transom) and Odyssey Air (air
floor) have telescopic aluminum oars that clip alongside the tube inside the
boat. All boats have a bow eye for easy towing and Walker Bay’s Hydro Curve™ oar
blades for better rowing.
A Complete Line with 21 Different Boats
Genesis is comprised of four models of RIBs: Genesis RT (rigid transom) and
Genesis FT (folding transom), in three sizes, 340, 310, and 270 and, Genesis RTL
(rigid transom light) and Genesis FTL (folding transom light) each in the 310
and 270 size. Both the Genesis RT and FT are available in Hypalon. The Odyssey
line of roll-up Inflatables is comprised of two models: Odyssey Air (air floor)
in four sizes, 340, 310, 270 and 240, and Odyssey SL (slatted floor) in the 240
size.
