Apex A-11 RIB Lite – 11-Foot Lightweight Dinghy

Description

Using a lightweight fiberglass V-hull, the Apex RIBs A-11 Lite is a 3.35 m, or 11 ft, open rigid inflatable boat with a single-layer fiberglass floor. A non-skid pattern covers the floor, while three buoyancy chambers use ORCA Hypalon 1100 dtex fabric with cold-bonded hand-laminated seams. At 75 kg, or 165 lb, the hull weight should be included in lifting, trailer, storage, and dock planning.

ISO capacity is four persons, and the 450 kg, or 992 lb, maximum payload applies to combined passenger and cargo loading. A 15-inch short-shaft outboard matches the specified transom configuration, with 9.9 HP recommended, 15 HP maximum, and a 52 kg, or 115 lb, engine-weight limit. High-flow Push-Push valves serve the three buoyancy chambers, while CE Category C applies to the stated inshore and coastal classification.

Key Specifications of the Apex RIBs A-11 Lite Rigid Inflatable Boat

• The lightweight open fiberglass RIB measures 3.35 m, or 11 ft, overall and has a 75 kg net weight.
• A lightweight fiberglass V-hull defines the documented rigid-hull construction for this open tender-dinghy configuration.
• The single-layer fiberglass floor uses a non-skid pattern, establishing the specified deck-surface arrangement for the open interior layout.
• Three buoyancy tubes use ORCA Hypalon 1100 dtex fabric with cold-bonded hand-laminated seams for the documented tube construction.
• ISO capacity is four persons, and the 450 kg maximum payload sets the stated passenger and cargo limit.
• A 15-inch short-shaft outboard is required, with 9.9 HP recommended and 15 HP maximum for propulsion selection.
• Outboard weight must not exceed 52 kg, while high-flow Push-Push valves serve the documented three-chamber tube system.

Hull, Deck, and Capacity

An internal length of 2.45 m, or 8 ft, and an internal width of 0.77 m, or 2 ft 6 in, define the stated usable hull space. A 0.41 m, or 16 in, tube diameter accompanies the lightweight V-hull, single-layer floor, and three-chamber tube configuration.

Included equipment consists of a removable bench seat, heavy-duty oars with oarlocks, bow lifting eye, towing rings, and single rubbing strake. Keep passenger loading, payload, outboard shaft length, engine output, and engine weight within the stated limits.

Why Choose the Apex RIBs A-11 Lite Rigid Inflatable Boat

The A-11 Lite rigid inflatable boat combines a 3.35 m lightweight fiberglass V-hull with a single-layer floor, removable bench seat, oars, bow lifting eye, and three ORCA Hypalon buoyancy chambers. Its 75 kg net weight, four-person ISO capacity, 450 kg payload rating, 15-inch short-shaft requirement, 9.9 HP recommended power, 15 HP maximum power, and 52 kg engine limit provide direct comparison points against heavier open RIB configurations.

Setup and Outboard Considerations

Included components cover the removable bench seat, heavy-duty oars with oarlocks, bow lifting eye, towing rings, and single rubbing strake. Match the transom with a 15-inch short-shaft outboard, then keep engine output at or below 15 HP and engine weight at or below 52 kg. Inflate all three buoyancy chambers through the high-flow Push-Push inflation valves.

Warranty and Support

Apex RIBs provides a 5-Year Limited Warranty covering Hypalon tubes and the fiberglass hull. Before checkout, Mulmarine.com can help you review the 3.35 m hull dimensions, 75 kg net weight, 450 kg payload limit, short-shaft outboard requirement, and 52 kg engine-weight limit against your lifting, trailer, storage, dock, and propulsion plan. Review the stated warranty coverage and documented included components before ordering.

Before Ordering the Apex RIBs A-11 Lite Rigid Inflatable Boat

Confirm that your lifting, trailer, storage, and dock plan supports the 3.35 m overall length and 75 kg net weight. You should use a 15-inch short-shaft outboard, select 9.9 HP as the recommended power level, avoid exceeding 15 HP or 52 kg engine weight, and remain within the four-person and 450 kg maximum capacity limits.
