Product Description
Achilles HB-270FX Rigid Hull RIB
Compact Rigidity with Unmatched Portability.
The Achilles HB-270FX is a revolutionary 8' 10" Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB) that solves the storage dilemma of traditional fiberglass tenders. Featuring a unique Folding Transom, the FX series allows the boat to be stowed in a much flatter profile than standard RIBs. Combined with a rugged Fiberglass Hull and premium Gray Hypalon fabric, the HB-270FX offers the high-speed performance and stability of a rigid boat with the convenience of a portable tender.
Key Performance Features
- Folding Transom Design: The FX series is specifically engineered for easy storage on deck or in a locker without sacrificing the performance of a rigid hull.
- Durable Fiberglass Hull: Provides a sharp V-entry for excellent tracking, a dry ride, and long-term durability in marine environments.
- Premium Hypalon Construction: Crafted with Achilles' signature CSM reinforced fabric, offering the best resistance to UV rays, oil, and abrasion.
- Increased Capacity: Despite its compact length, it safely accommodates up to 4 persons or a total load of 1,010 lbs.
- Customizable Seating: Features an extra seat attachment location, allowing you to optimize the interior space for passengers or gear.

Backed by a 5-year warranty, it is an investment in quality that you can depend on for years to come.
