AB Profile A16 – 16-Foot Aluminum Hull RIB Boat

- 19-inch tubes provide 2315-lb carrying capacity

Constructed with a powder-coated marine-grade aluminum deep-V hull, the AB Inflatables Profile A16 is a 4.88 m, or 16 ft, commercial and utility rigid inflatable boat. Its flat aluminum deck uses anti-slip pads, while five buoyancy tubes use ORCA CSM 1670 dtex commercial fabric with cold-cured hand-laminated seams. The listed 230 kg, or 507 lb, net weight should be evaluated with planned lifting, trailer, dock, and storage arrangements.
The boat has an ISO-rated capacity of 10 persons and a maximum payload rating of 1,050 kg, or 2,315 lb. It requires a 20-inch long-shaft outboard, with 50 HP recommended, 70 HP maximum, and 160 kg, or 353 lb, maximum engine weight. Leafield C7 Push-Push valves serve the five tube chambers, and CE Category C is listed for inshore and coastal conditions.
Why Choose the AB Inflatables Profile A16 Rigid Inflatable Boat
The Profile A16 rigid inflatable boat combines a 4.88 m aluminum deep-V hull with a flat deck, keel guard, five ORCA CSM buoyancy tubes, bow locker, and lifting and towing points. Buyers can compare its 230 kg net weight, 10-person ISO capacity, 1,050 kg payload rating, 20-inch long-shaft outboard requirement, 50 HP recommended power, 70 HP maximum power, and 160 kg engine limit with other commercial aluminum RIB layouts.
Warranty and Support
AB Inflatables provides a 10-Year Limited Warranty covering ORCA CSM fabric and aluminum hull structure. Before you order, can help you review the 4.88 m hull dimensions, 230 kg net weight, 1,050 kg payload limit, 20-inch long-shaft outboard requirement, and 160 kg engine-weight limit against your lifting, deck-layout, and propulsion plan. Review the stated warranty coverage and documented included components before purchase.
Before Ordering the AB Inflatables Profile A16 Rigid Inflatable Boat
Confirm that your lifting, trailer, dock, and storage plan supports the 4.88 m overall length and 230 kg net weight. You should use a 20-inch long-shaft outboard, select 50 HP as the recommended power level, avoid exceeding 70 HP or 160 kg engine weight, and remain within the 10-person and 1,050 kg maximum capacity limits.
