Määritelmä
The Aquafarer RIB 330 is a 10'10" (330 cm) rigid inflatable boat with inflatable tubes and a rigid aluminum V-hull floor with fiberglass transom. Rated for up to 15 hp.
Ongelma
You want the portability of an inflatable but need the performance of a rigid hull. Traditional inflatables flex at speed and struggle to plane.
Kuinka se toimii
The aluminum slat floor creates a rigid V-hull that planes efficiently and handles chop. The inflatable tubes provide stability and shock absorption. The fiberglass transom supports up to 15 hp without flex. The V-hull cuts through waves rather than slapping.
Ratkaisu
Assemble the aluminum floor, attach tubes, inflate, and mount the motor. The rigid floor provides a stable platform for fishing and watersports at planing speeds.
