HIGH-PERFORMANCE TENDERS GET SOME USEFUL UPGRADES

 

Designed for serious RIB owners who want maximum performance without sacrificing comfort, the center-console Oceanus tenders from AB Inflatables have a solid reputation among professionals and cruisers.  Now, thanks to recent upgrades on selected Oceanus models, this popular line is even better than before.

           

On Oceanus VST models 11 through 15, AB has molded a new fiberglass step into the bow to allow easy boarding from the front.  A new stainless bow rail has also been added that provides a secure hand-hold for passengers entering or leaving the boat.  The rail is split in the middle to make boarding easy and give the driver a clear view forward.  The coated railing that surrounded the center console before has now been replaced with an attractive, strong stainless steel unit.

      

Originally designed to handle heavy seas on the Mediterranean Sea, specific Oceanus models are currently used in commercial service, including professional towing organizations.  The boat's critical ratio of length-to-interior space-to-tube diameter allows Oceanus models to cut the waves cleanly.  Non-submerged tubes and an extra-deep V-hull minimize friction with the water, resulting in a safe, comfortable and spray-free ride.  The new upgrades will be available on remaining Oceanus models in 2006.
