The Highfield RU230AL combines the convenience of a compact roll-up tender with the durability and performance of a lightweight aluminium floor. Designed for boat owners who want a rigid, stable platform without sacrificing portability, the RU230AL is an ideal solution for yacht tenders, harbour transfers, camping adventures and general recreational boating.
Unlike traditional inflatable tenders with soft floors, the RU230AL features lightweight aluminium floor panels that deliver enhanced rigidity, improved stability underfoot and greater load-carrying capability. Paired with an inflatable keel, the aluminium floor creates a more responsive and capable ride, providing excellent tracking and handling in a variety of conditions.
The high-strength aluminium transom offers outstanding durability while eliminating the maintenance concerns often associated with timber transoms. Available in both PVC and Hypalon tube construction, the RU230AL allows owners to choose the material that best matches their boating lifestyle. PVC provides excellent value and everyday durability, while Hypalon offers superior UV resistance and long-term performance for Australia's harsh marine conditions.
Compact enough to pack away when required yet robust enough for everyday tender duties, the RU230AL delivers the perfect balance of practicality, performance and reliability.
