The Tornado 7.5 is a substantial deep-V offshore RIB with a practical, commercial-style layout and excellent deck space. Powered by a Yamaha F225 V6 225hp four-stroke outboard, she should make a capable family, watersports or general-purpose RIB. A particularly significant recent improvement is her complete re-tube in 2025, finished in smart navy Hypalon with contrasting black wear patches and handles. The Yamaha outboard dates from 2004 and was fitted to this RIB in 2016. She is equipped with hydraulic steering, power trim and tilt, chartplotter, VHF radio and a substantial stainless steel A-frame with a heavy-duty folding swim ladder.

Accommodation

The practical open layout is arranged around an offset steering console. An anchor locker is recessed beneath the foredeck, helping to keep the bow area clear and uncluttered. A single bench seat is fitted forward of the console. The console is protected by a windscreen with grab rails and houses the engine controls, navigation equipment and stereo system. There are individual jockey seats for the helm and passenger, with two further multi-person jockey seats positioned aft. The arrangement provides comfortable seating for approximately 6-8 people, although there is no build plate present to confirm the vessel's original certified passenger capacity.
