AB Profile A12 Shallow Water – 12-Foot Aluminum Hull RIB Boat

Review the hull profile, deck layout, and engine limits of the AB Inflatables Profile A12 Shallow Water before selecting an outboard. This 3.66 m, or 12 ft, commercial aluminum RIB uses a shallow-V 3.18 mm, or 1/8 inch, powder-coated aluminum hull with a keel guard. Its aluminum flat deck uses anti-slip pads, while three buoyancy chambers use ORCA CSM 1670 dtex commercial fabric with cold-cured hand-laminated seams. At 145 kg, or 320 lb, the boat should be matched with the planned lift and trailer arrangement.

ISO capacity is five persons, and the 600 kg, or 1,323 lb, payload limit applies to combined passenger and cargo planning. A 20-inch long-shaft outboard matches the specified transom configuration, with 20 HP recommended, 30 HP maximum, and 88 kg, or 194 lb, maximum engine weight. Leafield C7 Push-Push valves serve the three buoyancy tubes, and CE Category C applies to the stated inshore and coastal category.
