Designed as the ideal sailboat tender for up to 4 passengers, the AB Inflatables 9 VS combines a rugged, go-anywhere double-moulded hand laid fibreglass hull with internal stringers and buoyancy tubes that feature an all-around rub rail to cushion and protect yacht hulls from cosmetic and gel coat damage. Add to that a 96 length thats perfect for carrying aboard sailboats with narrower beams, plus fast, solid performance, and you ve got an unbeatable first rate tender! When powered by a 10HP outboard, the 9 VS gets up on a plane within seconds, and remains stable even on the tightest turns. The raised bow and large tubes guarantee a smooth, dry ride for both passengers and gear.
