290AS (9'6") Folding RIB

The 290 is the smallest model of the Adventure Series. When folded it easily fits in the trunk of a car or in the lazarette of a boat. As with any inflatable boat, storing it out of the sun naturally increases the boat’s life. When folded, it only takes 4 minutes to unfold and fully inflate. The pressure of the tubes allows the fiberglass hull sections to lock together, providing the feel of a one-piece hull.

The ride quality of the newly engineered hull is amazing and handles tough conditions should they arise. Unlike inflatable hulls or “roll up” dinghy's, these boats efficiently cut through chop and turn confidently in windy conditions.

Because the hull has built in eyebolts and D-rings, it allows for multiple uses such as lifting onto the deck of a boat, towing items while underway or simply holding gear in place. And because you can mount removable launch wheels with ease, the boat can be launched from anywhere.
