Built with a high-pressure air floor and inflatable keel, the RU280KAM provides a comfortable ride, excellent directional stability and impressive handling on the water. The robust aluminium transom offers superior strength while remaining lightweight and maintenance-free, giving owners the confidence of long-term durability without the concerns commonly associated with timber transoms.
Available in both PVC and Hypalon tube construction, the RU280KAM allows boaters to choose the material best suited to their needs. PVC models offer excellent value and everyday durability, while Hypalon models provide premium UV resistance and longevity, making them ideal for Australia's demanding marine conditions.
With room for family, gear and supplies, the RU280KAM is an ideal choice for cruising yachts, houseboats, campers and anyone seeking a practical, dependable tender that can be packed away when not in use.
