Overview
About this vessel
Designed to squeeze into the average suburban garage, the R530 X-Rider redefines your expectations of how BIG a small bowrider can actually be. Ski. Fish. Just add water
It's true…SIZE really does matter. Coming in at a garage-friendly 5.3m (or under 6m on a trailer with a swing-away draw bar) the fun-sized R530 X-Rider is a rare find in a market where boats are getting bigger, but new home lots are rapidly shrinking. But don't for a moment think that downsizing your Revival means compromising on functionality or ride.
The all new R530 X-Rider borrows the capable R530/R525 platform and dials up the fun factor. Featuring a lockable anchor well capable of accommodating a full-sized winch, a convertible bow-zone, generous underfloor storage, bait well and rear drop in door, the R530 X-Rider flicks a middle finger salute at tinny brigade that have filled this niche...until now!
- Versatile package that delivers on all fronts.
- Redesigned helm accommodates up to two 7" head units.
- Efficient hull design maximises performance without compromising on ride comfort or stability at rest.
- Unrivalled storage options to hide skis, fishing tackle and family gear.
- New X-Rider re-writes the bowrider rule book, and creates a few rules of its own.
R530 outboard options
A hallmark of all Revival hulls is an efficient hull design that doesn't compromise on ride quality or stability. Ideally powered by 4-Stroke or DI (Direct Injection) outboards in the 90 - 115hp range, the R530 will provide ample performance even with smaller torque-rich engines such as Mercury's 90HP FourStroke outboard.
Towability
The R530 X-Rider has a combined towing weight of around 1300 -1400kg which puts it well within the scope of any SUV, ute or wagon with a tow-rating of 1500kg. The current Mini Countryman is one of many compact tow tugs that are up to the task.
25" Transom for Added Safety & Performance
All Revival hulls are available in the standard Arctic White gelcoat or splash out with one of eight (8) full or two-tone gelcoat options. X-Rider, SportZ and OffShore editions feature two-tone grey vinyl interiors while WeekEnders are treated to cloth detailing in the cabins.
