Keep hull layout, passenger capacity, and outboard limits defined with the AB Inflatables F17 OPEN, a 5.18 m, or 17 ft, professional open-deck fiberglass RIB. Its deep-V hand-laid reinforced fiberglass hull supports a commercial-grade non-skid deck, while five buoyancy chambers use Orca CSM 1670 decitex fabric with cold-cured hand-laminated double seams. The listed 390 kg, or 860 lb, net weight should be included in lift and transport planning.
The boat has an ISO-rated capacity of 10 persons and a stated maximum payload of 1,120 kg, or 2,469 lb. It requires a 20-inch long-shaft outboard, with 70 HP recommended and 90 HP maximum. The optional 110 L, or 29 gal, EPA UST fuel tank should be specified separately where required. Leafield C7 Push-Push valves are listed, and CE Category C applies to the stated inshore and coastal category.

The F17 OPEN rigid inflatable boat combines a 5.18 m fiberglass deep-V hull with an open non-skid deck, five Orca CSM buoyancy chambers, bow storage locker, lifting points, and self-bailing scuppers.
