When buying a new aluminum rigid inflatable boat as a primary boat or yacht tender, it is important to take into consideration many variables in order to acquire the most reliable and durable inflatable boat. However, we are going to make your decision easier by naming the top three (3) variables:

Aluminum Weldings: Always make sure to check the welding seams on the aluminum boat. Cleaner welding seams mean more reliable construction and durability.

Additionally, check that the lifting/towing eyes of the boat are welded vertically to avoid bends when lifting.

It is highly recommended that transom knees have a back plate welded reinforcement and not welded directly to the transom and deck, so the reinforcements receive all the stress placed by the knees. See more about the AB construction of the aluminum boats here: Lammina AL

Aluminum Sheet:  Don’t forget to ask before buying an aluminum rigid inflatable if the boat was made with marine grade aluminum and its thickness. As the dinghy will be used in water, the marine grade aluminum has different characteristics over conventional aluminum.

Materials & Accessories: Take your time to examine who are the providers and what kinds of materials are installed on the aluminum inflatable boat that you are buying. Well-known providers means more credibility, reliability and quality on the brand you are interested.

Do you want to keep the tubes of your dinghy like new for even more time? As your dinghy is continuously used in the marine environment, your boat will be exposed to abrasions, harmful UV rays, tears, among others. This could accelerate the aging of the tubes.

Even though AB uses in all its models the best fabric material in the market today (Orca CSM), the dinghy chaps are suggested in order to keep the tubes of your AB for even longer.

The Dinghy chaps are protective covers which are installed on the tubes at all time to add extra years of service and keep your tubes like new for a longer period. Our dinghy chaps are made with the well-recognized Sunbrella Fabric which will provide to your inflatable boat extra protection to the UV rays and will protect it from the tears of the marine environment.

For more information about our dinghy chaps, contact your closest AB dealer.
