Owner Experience Review
Commercial operators choose the Landing CraftfromRIPTIDE MARINEfor practical reasons: it serves as an island hopper/passenger tour boat, a workboat for cargo and vehicle moves via the front ramp, and a stable platform for dive/ROV service work. The big, open deck and transom lockers clearly prioritize payload and task efficiency over overnighting, and many published listings show 0 berths and 0 heads, with a wheelhouse/cabin offered as an option. Interiors are typically owner-fitted, so stock hulls tend to have minimal galley or crew accommodation unless specified at build. On the water, manufacturer and broker materials cite a ~17° deadrise with wide chines for efficient wave‑cutting and enhanced stability in West Coast conditions, backed by a modified V‑hull and heavy‑duty extrusion keel. Published specs for a 36' configuration indicate an approximate 30‑knot cruise and up to ~50 knots at the top end, with advertised load capacities in the 3,400–8,000+ lb range depending on size that support predictable handling under weight. Construction is 5086 aluminum with a 1/4" bottom and variable upper plating—robust for commercial duty but still needing standard aluminum care and competent welding when repairs arise; typical multi‑engine outboard packages (Evinrude, Mercury, SeaPro) carry the usual service intervals and parts costs, and long‑term owner‑forum failure lists were not found in the public record, so deeper longevity insights are limited.
Pros and Cons
- 5086 aluminum hull with a 1/4" bottom is built for commercial robustness and repairability by competent welding.
- Front ramp and large open deck enable efficient cargo/vehicle loading and flexible mission setups, including passenger and dive/ROV work.
- ~17° deadrise with wide chines and a modified V‑hull deliver stable, efficient running in West Coast conditions, with listings indicating ~30‑kn cruise.
- Stock configurations often have 0 berths and 0 heads, with cabin and galley features left to owner fit‑out.
- Performance and capacity figures are primarily from manufacturer and broker listings rather than long‑term owner reports.
- Multi‑engine outboard packages introduce routine service intervals and costs typical of outboard fleets.
