Rossinavi Eiv 2020 vs Rossinavi Flying Dagger 2018 — Same Brand, Different Boat

The Rossinavi Eiv 2020 vs Rossinavi Flying Dagger 2018 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.

Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Rossinavi Flying Dagger 2018 measures 163,9 feet overall (2018), giving it roughly 3,8 additional feet of deck space compared to the Rossinavi Eiv 2020 at 160,1 feet (2020). At 1 102 311 lbs and 1 102 311 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class — either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.

Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 2 600 hp for the Rossinavi Eiv 2020 and 2 600 hp for the Rossinavi Flying Dagger 2018. Real-world performance will come down more to which motor is actually bolted on, its load at the time, and whether it's a 4-stroke or 2-stroke setup. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Rossinavi Flying Dagger 2018 carries 17 197 gallons versus 13 208 gallons in the Rossinavi Eiv 2020. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Rossinavi Flying Dagger 2018 is rated for 49 passengers, while the Rossinavi Eiv 2020 caps at 48. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Rossinavi Flying Dagger 2018 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Rossinavi Flying Dagger 2018 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 49 passengers and at 163,9 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Rossinavi Eiv 2020 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 48 that costs less to run day-to-day.

Rossinavi Eiv 2020 vs Rossinavi Flying Dagger 2018 — Common Questions

Which is the larger boat — the Rossinavi Eiv 2020 or the Rossinavi Flying Dagger 2018?
The Rossinavi Flying Dagger 2018 is the longer of the two at 163,9 feet overall. The Rossinavi Eiv 2020 comes in at 160,1 feet, making it roughly 3,8 ft shorter — a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer — the Rossinavi Eiv 2020 or the Rossinavi Flying Dagger 2018?
For trailering, the Rossinavi Flying Dagger 2018 has the edge at 1 102 311 lbs dry weight versus 1 102 311 lbs for the Rossinavi Eiv 2020. Add a motor (typically 300–500 lbs for an outboard in this class), gear, and a partial fuel load and the difference grows. Lighter is friendlier on smaller tow vehicles and on fuel economy while hauling.
How many people can each boat hold?
The Rossinavi Eiv 2020 is Coast Guard rated for 48 passengers, while the Rossinavi Flying Dagger 2018 is certified for 49. Note that legal capacity and comfortable capacity aren't always the same thing — on a full day out, most experienced boaters aim for about 80% of the rated number to keep things comfortable.
Do these boats require an oversize trailer permit to tow on US highways?
Both the Rossinavi Eiv 2020 and Rossinavi Flying Dagger 2018 share an 29.20 ft beam — meaning both sit right at the 8’6" threshold that most US states use for standard-width loads. In most states you can tow at that width without a special permit, but regulations vary. Always check the rules for your state and any states you'll be passing through before your first long haul.
Which boat has the larger fuel tank — the Rossinavi Eiv 2020 or the Rossinavi Flying Dagger 2018?
The Rossinavi Flying Dagger 2018 has the bigger tank at 17 197 gallons, versus 13 208 gallons on the Rossinavi Eiv 2020. That 3989-gallon difference translates to roughly 11967–19945 nautical miles of additional range at cruising speed, depending on motor, load, and conditions.
Are the Rossinavi Eiv 2020 and Rossinavi Flying Dagger 2018 from the same manufacturer?
Yes — both the Rossinavi Eiv 2020 and the Rossinavi Flying Dagger 2018 are built by Rossinavi. That means shared dealer networks, common parts availability, and consistent build quality across the line. The choice between them is essentially a question of how much boat you need, not which brand you trust.
