AB Profile A14 Shallow Water – 14-Foot Aluminum Hull RIB Boat

Review the hull profile and propulsion limits of the AB Inflatables Profile A14 Shallow Water before selecting an outboard. This 4.27 m, or 14 ft, commercial and utility aluminum RIB uses a shallow-V 3.18 mm, or 1/8 inch, powder-coated aluminum hull with a keel guard. Its flat aluminum deck uses anti-slip pads, while four buoyancy chambers use ORCA CSM 1670 dtex fabric with cold-cured hand-laminated seams.

The listed net weight is 180 kg, or 397 lb, with an ISO passenger capacity of seven persons and a maximum payload of 800 kg, or 1,763 lb. A 20-inch long-shaft outboard is required, with 30 HP recommended, 50 HP maximum, and 120 kg, or 265 lb, maximum engine weight. Leafield C7 Push-Push valves are specified, and CE Category C is listed for inshore and coastal conditions.
