“Rodman may be unfamilliar to most Americans but, for the rest of the world, the name is synonomous with boats that are tough, seaworthy, and well built. Founded in the early 1970s, Rodman earned its reputation building composite military and commercial craft. Nations in South America, Europe, Africa, and the Orient have Rodmann patrol boat in their naval and custom fleets and, with more than 11,000 craft built in less than three decades, Rodman has vast experience. The Rodman 565, imported to the United States by Rodman USA, draws on that military side. In fact, the hull of the 565 is adapted from that of a water-jet powered 68-knot customs patrol boat. Step away from the swoopy Euro-styling of the 565 and you’ll see a hull that is designed and built to chase bad guys at a high speed in the worst conditions. The deep-V hull carries the strakes well above the waterline forward, giving the 565 a purposeful look that not only strikes fear in smugglers but provides a soft ride in nasty seas. The hull sides are carried far forward, which gives the 565 a wide beam at the waterline for form, stability, and immense inside volumn. Though the hull lineage is from no-nonsense patrol craft, the rest of the 565 is pure Riviera luxury.”
