Description
The Highfield Ultralite 240 Large Tube RIB is a lightweight, high‑performance rigid inflatable boat designed for boaters who want durability, stability, and easy handling in a compact tender. Built to support up to a 6hp outboard engine and carry up to three passengers, this model delivers exceptional buoyancy and balance thanks to its 17" large‑diameter tubes, offering more lift and stability than the standard SS version.
True to the Ultralite name, the UL240LT is incredibly easy to manage on and off the water. Its low weight makes it a smart upgrade for anyone moving from a soft‑bottom inflatable to a hard‑hull tender, offering better performance and a smoother ride without adding unnecessary bulk. One person can launch, recover, or load it, and it’s light enough to transport on a roof rack.
Built for long‑term reliability, the Ultralite 240 features a 2.5mm powder‑coated marine‑grade aluminum hull paired with Hypalon (ORCA) tubes, precision‑cut and assembled to Highfield’s exacting standards. The clean, uncluttered layout and practical standard accessories make the Ultralite series one of the best values in the inflatable tender market—strong, roomy, easy to transport, and ready for everyday use.
