This boat carries the same name as the old Dagger Mamba but that is where the similarities end. Totally redesigned from the hull up no part of the new Dagger Mamba has been left the same. A greater improved volume distribution makes the new Mamba forgiving and predictable yet still great fun on the water, the re designed rails and hull make the new Mamba faster and turn harder, than the old boat to. The seating position has also been reworked to give better leg and foot room.
 
The new boat is still available in two outfitting options, adjustable £849 or creek £899 but the best piece of news is that at last the Mamba is manufactured in the UK, The new Dagger Mamba looks set to rule in 2012.    

What Dagger say :

The New Mamba 8.1 Adjustable seat will be available from October 2011 with the Creek version from late December 2011.  The 8.6 will be available in both versions from  January 2012 and the 7.6 from March 2012
