Description
The Highfield Ultralite 260 Large Tube RIB Tender is a lightweight, high‑performance rigid inflatable boat designed for boaters who want maximum stability, durability, and easy handling in a compact tender. Built to support up to a 10hp outboard engine and carry up to four passengers, this model features 17" large‑diameter tubes that deliver superior buoyancy and stability.
The Ultralite 260 is exceptionally easy to manage on and off the water. Its low weight makes it an ideal upgrade from a soft‑bottom inflatable for anyone seeking the improved performance of a hard‑hull tender. One person can launch, recover, or transport it, and it’s light enough to load onto a roof rack.
Constructed for long‑term reliability, the UL260LT features a 2.5mm powder‑coated marine‑grade aluminum hull paired with 1100 Decitex Valmex® PVC tubes, precision‑cut and assembled to Highfield’s high manufacturing standards. With its clean, uncluttered layout and practical standard accessories, the Ultralite series offers exceptional value—strong, roomy, lightweight, and ready for everyday tender duty.
