AB Profile A13 Shallow Water 13′ Aluminum RIB Boat

Description

Review the hull profile, deck layout, and outboard limits of the AB Inflatables Profile A13 Shallow Water before selecting propulsion equipment. This 3.96 m, or 13 ft, commercial aluminum RIB uses a shallow-V 3.18 mm, or 1/8 inch, powder-coated aluminum hull with a keel guard. Its flat aluminum deck uses anti-slip pads, while three buoyancy chambers use ORCA CSM 1670 dtex commercial fabric with cold-cured hand-laminated seams. The listed net weight is 160 kg, or 353 lb.

Maximum ISO capacity is six persons and maximum payload is 700 kg, or 1,543 lb. The boat requires a 20-inch long-shaft outboard, with 25 HP recommended, 40 HP maximum, and 105 kg, or 231 lb, maximum engine weight. Leafield C7 Push-Push valves are specified for the tube system, and CE Category C is listed for inshore and coastal conditions.

Before Ordering the AB Inflatables Profile A13 Shallow Water Rigid Inflatable Boat

Confirm that your lifting, trailer, dock, and storage plan supports the 3.96 m overall length and 160 kg net weight. You should use a 20-inch long-shaft outboard, select 25 HP as the recommended power level, avoid exceeding 40 HP or 105 kg engine weight, and remain within the six-person and 700 kg maximum capacity limits.
