Keep hull dimensions, fuel capacity, and outboard limits defined with the AB Inflatables Nautilus 17 DLX, a 5.18 m, or 17 ft, fiberglass console yacht tender. The deep-V fiberglass hull uses a double molded deck system beneath a hand-laid molded non-skid deck. Its five buoyancy chambers are made from Orca CSM 1100 decitex fabric with cold-cured hand-laminated reinforced seams, while the listed boat weight is 505 kg, or 1,113 lb.
The model has an ISO capacity of eight persons, a maximum payload of 1,000 kg, or 2,204 lb, and a built-in 135 L, or 36 gal, EPA UST fuel tank. A 20-inch long-shaft outboard is required, with 90 HP recommended and 115 HP maximum. Leafield C7 Push-Push valves are specified, and the boat carries a CE Category C designation for inshore and coastal conditions.

Warranty and Support
AB Inflatables provides a 10-Year Limited Warranty covering Orca CSM fabric and fiberglass hull structure. Before you order, can help you review the verified 5.18 m hull dimensions, 505 kg net weight, 135 L fuel tank, long-shaft outboard requirement, and stated capacity limits against your lift, dock, trailer, and propulsion plan. Review the stated warranty coverage and documented included components before purchase.
Before Ordering the AB Inflatables Nautilus 17 DLX Rigid Inflatable Boat
Confirm that your lift, trailer, dock, and storage plan supports the 5.18 m overall length and 505 kg net weight. You should use a 20-inch long-shaft outboard, select 90 HP as the recommended power level, avoid exceeding 115 HP, confirm the 135 L fuel-tank configuration, and remain within the eight-person and 1,000 kg maximum capacity limits.
