Rodman's Irish agent, Hugh Mockler of Crosshaven Boatyard, is sharing news of the world launch of a new range from the Rodman Shipyard at the Southampton International Boat Show 2022 this week, where they will have the first model, the Rodman 690 Ventura CC on display.
This new range of outboard boats, from 6-8m in length, will have models available in different deck versions; open with centre console, open with forward cabin and hard top.
In designing this range, Rodman set out to provide a boat that would be accessible to all, aiming to both attract a younger client who might be new to boating, or who wants a sporty boat that compliments an active lifestyle, as well as satisfying the more traditional customer who values comfort and safety.
"The new Rodman 690 Ventura CC is the perfect choice for an affordable day boat that is well suited to all coastal and inland waters across the UK and Ireland, with maximum comfort, great features and the excellent seakeeping expected from Rodman boats", Irish agent Hugh Mockler told Afloat.
The new Rodman 690 Ventura CC will be on display on the Marina at the Southampton International Boat Show 2022, on berth M151. This boat has a 6.5 m hull length and 7.7 m length overall, with a 2.55 m beam. Category C for 6 people (or D for 8) the boat can be fitted with a single outboard engine up to 200hp, and the boat on display at the show has reached speeds of almost 40 knots in sea trials.
On deck on the Rodman 690 Ventura CC, you will find two distinct areas - the aft cockpit and the forward bow. The cockpit has a rear seat option, which can be completed with a side module and a table. The helm and co-pilot seats will also swivel to face your guests. There is the option of covering this area with an extendable bimini-type sun canopyForward, this new model also offers a second seating area, which can be equipped with cushions and seats, another table and there is also the possibility of turning the entire surface into a solarium. This area can also be covered with a fixed sun canopy. Safe and comfortable movement between the two areas is guaranteed by wide, identical lateral passageways on both sides, one of the hallmarks of all Rodman boats
This new model is completed by a comfortable console interior, with comfortable access and wide stowage space with the option to fit a chemical toilet.
