AB F15 OPEN – 15-Foot Professional Fiberglass Open RIB

Description

Review the deck, hull, and outboard requirements of the AB Inflatables F15 OPEN before finalizing a propulsion and equipment plan. This 4.57 m, or 15 ft, commercial open fiberglass RIB uses a deep-V hand-laid fiberglass hull with a reinforced stringer system and an open fiberglass deck with an anti-skid surface. Its four buoyancy chambers use ORCA CSM 1670 dtex commercial fabric with cold-cured hand-laminated seams and double-overlap protection.

The boat has a listed net weight of 305 kg, or 672 lb, an ISO capacity of eight persons, and a maximum payload of 900 kg, or 1,984 lb. A 20-inch long-shaft outboard is required, with 50 HP recommended, 75 HP maximum, and 175 kg, or 385 lb, maximum engine weight. The supplied configuration also includes a 75 L, or 20 gal, EPA and USCG compliant aluminum fuel tank.

Before Ordering the AB Inflatables F15 OPEN Rigid Inflatable Boat

Verify that your lift, trailer, dock, storage, and custom-outfitting plan supports the 4.57 m overall length and 305 kg net weight. You should use a 20-inch long-shaft outboard, select 50 HP as the recommended power level, avoid exceeding 75 HP or 175 kg engine weight, confirm the 75 L fuel-tank configuration, and remain within the eight-person and 900 kg maximum capacity limits.
