Response Boat – Medium (RB-M)

Response Boat – Medium (RB-M) – 30-Inch Handcrafted Wooden Model

Honor the professionalism of the United States Coast Guard with a handcrafted replica of the Response Boat – Medium (RB-M). Introduced to replace the aging 41-foot Utility Boat fleet, the RB-M was designed to perform a wide range of missions including search and rescue, maritime law enforcement, homeland security, port security, environmental response, and disaster relief. Its rugged construction, exceptional reliability, and outstanding maneuverability have made it one of the Coast Guard's most valuable operational assets.

Our 30-inch handcrafted RB-M model faithfully recreates the vessel's modern appearance using the traditional plank-on-frame construction method. Every model is individually handcrafted by skilled artisans using premium Western Red Cedar, Teak, and Mahogany, creating a museum-quality display model with remarkable attention to detail.

Every element has been carefully reproduced, including the deep-V hull, enclosed pilothouse, navigation systems, radar mast, rescue equipment, towing fittings, safety rails, and open working deck. Rather than being mass-produced, every model is individually assembled and finished by hand to ensure outstanding craftsmanship and lasting beauty.

Powered by twin diesel engines and advanced waterjet propulsion, the Response Boat – Medium offers excellent speed, rapid acceleration, and superior maneuverability in both open water and confined harbors. Its self-righting capability and all-weather design enable Coast Guard crews to perform lifesaving missions under some of the most challenging maritime conditions. This handcrafted replica pays tribute to the courage and dedication of those who serve aboard these versatile patrol boats.

The 30-inch version offers the perfect display size for Coast Guard veterans, maritime professionals, collectors, and boating enthusiasts. It provides impressive visual presence while fitting comfortably on desks, bookshelves, display cabinets, or office reception areas.

Celebrate the service and commitment of the United States Coast Guard with a handcrafted Response Boat – Medium (RB-M) model that will remain a centerpiece for generations.
The Response Boat – Medium (RB-M) entered service with the United States Coast Guard in 2008 as the replacement for the aging 41-foot Utility Boat fleet. Designed by Kvichak Marine Industries, the RB-M was developed to provide superior performance in search and rescue, maritime law enforcement, homeland security, and environmental response missions. Built from marine-grade aluminum and powered by twin diesel engines driving waterjets, the vessel offers exceptional maneuverability, shallow draft capability, and improved crew safety under demanding operating conditions.

Today, the RB-M serves as one of the Coast Guard's primary multi-mission response vessels, operating from stations across the United States. The boat routinely conducts search and rescue missions, patrols ports and waterways, intercepts suspicious vessels, and supports disaster response operations. Its enclosed climate-controlled cabin, advanced navigation systems, and robust construction allow crews to operate safely in challenging weather while responding rapidly to emergencies, making the RB-M one of the Coast Guard's most versatile operational platforms.
