Rayglass Boats, a brand of Brunswick Corporation (NYSE: BC), launched Protector R Edition range. These models are engineered to deliver next-level performance, styling and innovation.

Leading the lineup is the 330 Targa R Edition, the first vessel in New Zealand to be powered by Mercury Racing’s new 400R V10 outboard engines. This 10-meter (33-foot) RIB has a top speed exceeding 60 knots.

“This is a boat built for discerning buyers looking for something truly unique,” says Dean Harris, president of Rayglass. “They’re fully customizable and designed to meet the demands of superyacht tenders, luxury commuters or high-performance recreational use. Protector has a long history of using Mercury engines and the 400R option provides our customers with additional performance enhancements.”

The R Edition retains the Protector hull while adding upgrades such as custom R badging, exclusive graphics, diamond-stitched upholstery and new marine technology. The boat is equipped with Mercury electric steering, joystick piloting with integrated autopilot, skyhook and a bow thruster.

“We’re seeing big growth in demand for superyacht tenders and commuters,” says Harris. “We see these boats slotting right into that market. They feature the same utilitarian capability that Protectors are famous for, but with unmatched performance and exclusive features.”
