Using a 4.7 mm, or 3/16 inch, marine-grade aluminum deep-V hull, the AB Inflatables Profile AS A16 is a 4.88 m, or 16 ft, professional open aluminum RIB. The powder-coated flat deck uses non-skid rubber pads, and its five buoyancy tubes use ORCA CSM 1670 dtex fabric with cold-cured hand-laminated seams and double-overlap protection. The 245 kg, or 540 lb, net weight and 160 kg, or 353 lb, maximum engine weight should be verified against the planned lifting and propulsion setup.

The boat has an ISO-rated capacity of 10 persons and a maximum payload of 1,050 kg, or 2,315 lb. Leafield C7 Push-Push valves and heavy-duty relief valves are specified. A 20-inch long-shaft outboard is required, with 50 HP recommended and 70 HP maximum. CE Category C is listed for the stated inshore and coastal category.
