AB F15 OPEN – 15-Foot Professional Fiberglass Open RIB
Commercial dive teams outfit the open deck of an AB F15 OPEN tactical boat, which bonds 1670 Decitex heavy-duty Hypalon to a hand-laid fiberglass deep-V hull, supporting 8 divers and 1,984 lbs with up to 75 HP at 672 lbs.
- 1670-Decitex Hypalon resists abrasive dive gear
- Heavy-duty fiberglass stringers absorb wave impacts
- 1984-lb payload hauls heavy equipment crates
- Pressure relief valves prevent thermal overinflation
- Self-bailing deck scuppers clear standing water
Review the deck, hull, and outboard requirements of the AB Inflatables F15 OPEN before finalizing a propulsion and equipment plan. This 4.57 m, or 15 ft, commercial open fiberglass RIB uses a deep-V hand-laid fiberglass hull with a reinforced stringer system and an open fiberglass deck with an anti-skid surface. Its four buoyancy chambers use ORCA CSM 1670 dtex commercial fabric with cold-cured hand-laminated seams and double-overlap protection.
The boat has a listed net weight of 305 kg, or 672 lb, an ISO capacity of eight persons, and a maximum payload of 900 kg, or 1,984 lb. A 20-inch long-shaft outboard is required, with 50 HP recommended, 75 HP maximum, and 175 kg, or 385 lb, maximum engine weight. The supplied configuration also includes a 75 L, or 20 gal, EPA and USCG compliant aluminum fuel tank.

Before Ordering the AB Inflatables F15 OPEN Rigid Inflatable Boat
