Highfield Ultralite 240 Large Tube RIB Tender | 7'10" Length, Aluminum Hull, Hypalon Tubes | UL240LT

The Highfield Ultralite 240 Large Tube RIB Tender is 7'10" long and 5'6" wide, weighing 74 lbs (boat only), with Orca Hypalon tubes, a 10.5° deadrise aluminum hull, room for 3 persons with a max load of 653 lbs, and a maximum motor rating of 6hp Short Shaft.

The Highfield Ultralite 240 Large Tube RIB is a lightweight, high-performance rigid inflatable built for boaters who want durability, stability and easy handling in a compact tender. It's rated for up to a 6hp outboard engine and up to three passengers, and its 17" large-diameter tubes give it great buoyancy and balance, with more lift and stability than the standard SS version.

True to the Ultralite name, the UL240LT is super easy to manage on and off the water. Its low weight makes it a smart upgrade from a soft-bottom inflatable to a hard-hull tender, with better performance and a smoother ride and none of the extra bulk. One person can launch, recover or load it, and it's light enough to carry on a roof rack.

Built for long-term reliability, the Ultralite 240 has a 2.5mm powder-coated marine-grade aluminum hull paired with Hypalon (ORCA) tubes, precision-cut and assembled to Highfield's exacting standards. A clean, uncluttered layout and practical standard accessories make the Ultralite series one of the best values in inflatable tenders: strong, roomy, easy to transport and ready for everyday use.

Highfield is known worldwide for aluminum-hull RIBs. Their powder-coated, marine-grade aluminum hulls are lighter than fiberglass and won't chip or delaminate, which makes Highfield a favorite tender for yacht owners, sailors and weekend boaters.
