  • Description

    The Achilles HB-280DX with Basic Console is 9'2" long and 5'5" wide, weighing 248 lbs for the boat alone and 349 lbs dry with the motor, with Hypalon tubes, a deep-V fiberglass hull, a capacity of 4 persons or 1190 lbs, and a maximum motor rating of 15 hp Short, rigged with a 9.9hp outboard.

    The Achilles Basic Modular Console boats are a great choice for simple tenders and taxis that don't need extra seating. Keep them plain and simple, or set them up with electronics and features for just about anything, including fishing and diving. Each build includes a basic modular console with internal storage for a battery or small fuel tank, plus a bench seat with under-seat storage and cushions. We rig them with steering cables and fuel tanks. This console and seat setup fits the 280DX all the way up to the 385DX, rigged with 10hp up to 40hp outboards for the larger models.

    Achilles is known worldwide for tough, long-lasting inflatable boats made with its own CSM fabric and four-layer seam construction, built to handle harsh sun, salt water and hard use. That's why Achilles boats are a favorite for everyone from weekend boaters to fire departments, rescue teams and commercial operators.
