AB Profile A14 Standard – 14-Foot Aluminum Hull RIB Boat

Description

At 4.27 m, or 14 ft, the AB Inflatables Profile A14 Standard uses a powder-coated 3.18 mm, or 1/8 inch, aluminum deep-V hull with an integrated keel guard. Its flat aluminum deck uses anti-slip pads, while four buoyancy chambers use ORCA CSM 1670 dtex commercial fabric with cold-cured hand-laminated seams. The listed 190 kg, or 419 lb, net weight should be evaluated against lifting, trailer, storage, and onboard handling requirements.

The boat has an ISO-rated capacity of seven persons and a maximum payload of 800 kg, or 1,763 lb. A 20-inch long-shaft outboard is required, with 40 HP recommended, 60 HP maximum, and 145 kg, or 320 lb, maximum engine weight. Leafield C7 Push-Push valves are specified for the four buoyancy tubes, and CE Category C is listed for inshore and coastal conditions.

Why Choose the AB Inflatables Profile A14 Standard Rigid Inflatable Boat

The Profile A14 Standard rigid inflatable boat combines a 4.27 m aluminum deep-V hull with a flat deck, integrated keel guard, four ORCA CSM buoyancy chambers, bow locker, and lifting and towing points. Buyers can compare its 190 kg net weight, seven-person ISO capacity, 800 kg payload rating, 20-inch long-shaft outboard requirement, 40 HP recommended power, 60 HP maximum power, and 145 kg engine limit with the shallow-V Profile A14 variant.

Setup and Outboard Considerations

The supplied configuration includes a bow locker with cushion, double rubbing strake, aluminum keel guard, bow lifting rings, stern lifting eyes, towing rings, and non-skid deck panels. Confirm the 20-inch long-shaft outboard configuration before rigging, then match engine output to the stated 40 HP recommendation, 60 HP maximum, and 145 kg engine-weight limit. Inflate all four buoyancy chambers through the specified Leafield C7 Push-Push valves.

Before Ordering the AB Inflatables Profile A14 Standard Rigid Inflatable Boat

Verify that your lifting, trailer, dock, and storage arrangement supports the 4.27 m overall length and 190 kg net weight. You should use a 20-inch long-shaft outboard, select 40 HP as the recommended power level, avoid exceeding 60 HP or 145 kg engine weight, and remain within the seven-person and 800 kg maximum capacity limits.
