Achilles SU-16 Super Utility Inflatable Boat (2026)
The Industry Standard for Heavy-Duty Professional Utility.
The Achilles SU-16 is the ultimate "workhorse" of the inflatable world. Built for the most demanding commercial, rescue, and military applications, this 16-foot vessel is constructed with an incredibly tough Two-Layer 1680 Denier Achilles CSM (Hypalon) fabric. Featuring a deluxe self-locking aluminum floor system and a massive 21" tube diameter, the SU-16 provides a rock-solid platform that can carry up to 9 persons or 3,170 lbs of gear with absolute confidence.
Built for Extreme Performance & Safety
- Elite Durability: Double-layer 1680 Denier Hypalon fabric and four-layer seam construction offer maximum resistance to punctures, UV rays, and extreme weather.
- Professional Floor System: Deluxe self-locking aluminum and fiberglass floorboards with heavy-duty aluminum stringers ensure a rigid deck under high-speed operation.
- High-Power Capability: Rated for up to a 75 HP long-shaft motor, allowing for rapid response and heavy-load transport in open water.
- Reinforced Utility Features: Equipped with cargo wear patches, internal tie-down D-rings, and heavy-duty lifting points for crane or davit operations.
- Stability in Rough Seas: A deep V-shaped air keel combined with 21-inch tubes provides exceptional buoyancy and a dry ride in choppy conditions.
