Ballistic LS78 Twin

Ballistic LS78 / 7.8m Twin Engine RIB

Unrigged brand-new stock boat – black carbon tubes with white hull – engine choice available

RIBs For Sale and Ballistic RIBs are pleased to present the Ballistic LS78 (7.8m) twin-engine RIB – a fast, capable offshore RIB designed for serious performance, long coastal passages and comfortable days on the water.

The LS78 builds on the proven Ballistic 7.8m hull, delivering impressive handling, excellent sea keeping and confident performance in a wide range of conditions. With twin Yamaha outboards fitted, the boat cruises comfortably above 30 knots and, when conditions allow, will exceed 50 knots.

The layout has been carefully designed to balance performance, practicality and comfort, making the Ballistic LS78 equally suited to Solent crossings, coastal exploration or relaxed days on Chichester Harbour.

Included with this boat – 12 months dry berthing

This LS78 is offered with 12 months dry berthing at Northshore Boatyard in Itchenor, Chichester Harbour, including unlimited lift and launches throughout the year (worth £5,280).

The boat is stored ashore between trips and launched whenever you want to head out, helping keep the hull cleaner, reducing maintenance and providing a simple way to enjoy boating on the harbour.

Dry berthing package included with the sale of the boat, subject to Northshore Boatyard terms. No cash alternative.

Engine & Performance

Price includes twin Yamaha F150 drive-by-wire outboards.

Optional upgrade to twin Yamaha F200 engines, with or without Yamaha digital steering.

Twin engines deliver strong performance alongside the reassurance of redundancy when travelling further offshore.

Fuel capacity totals 450 litres (2 × 225L stainless steel tanks), giving the Ballistic LS78 excellent range for longer coastal passages.

The twin-engine version also benefits from SeaStar electro-hydraulic steering, making the boat precise and responsive even at speed.
