Overview Highfield Ultralite 260 Large Tube RIB PVC

The Highfield Ultralite 260 Large Tube RIB PVC (UL260LT) is designed for boaters who want more space and power while keeping weight to a minimum. Rated for up to four people and supporting outboards up to 10hp, this model features oversized 17-inch tubes for increased buoyancy and stability compared to standard small-tube designs. Its lightweight aluminum hull makes it easy to launch, recover, and transport—even by a single person.
