16' BOWRIDER RIB IS MORE THAN A TENDER

       The Nautilus 16 Bowrider from AB Inflatables is right at home on the deck of a luxury yacht or skimming coastal waters.  It features all the amenities that are normally optional on other RIB brands. 

        The interior, with tons of space, seats 9 people.  Its special, perimeter bowrider-style seating area quickly converts into a 6'-long sunbathing bed or 4' bed, with additional seating up front.  The locking feature allows the family or friends to enjoy either bed option while cruising.  When not in use, the boards fit neatly in the ample storage space under the stern seat.  Four huge, independent, built-in coolers offer nearly endless room for food, drinks, or even personal gear.

To give the 16' Bowrider outstanding performance and maneuverability, AB has designed a one-piece, double-molded fiberglass, deep-V hull.  And its non-skid deck ensures that everyone stays in the boat while underway.  A portside boarding step and the built-in step at the bow, which is unobstructed by the bow rail, let passengers enter and exit the boat easily. 

Adding to the comfort and safety of the Nautilus 16 Bowrider is a low, cushioned wall that prevents passengers from sliding out of the boat.  A stainless steel bow rail gives the RIB a distinctive 

look and provides an extra measure of security when cruising in rough water.  A double rub rail helps protect the boat while docking, and a bow hatch makes for a convenient anchor locker.

        The boat measures 16' 5" overall and has a 7' 9" beam. It features a 33-gallon, marine-grade aluminum underdeck fuel tank, a 10-gallon freshwater shower, molded-in stern seat with armrest, and pop-up cleats.  The stand-up fiberglass console has a front lid for easy access to the instruments.  The Bowrider is rated for up to 115 hp.

The Nautilus 16 Bowrider retails for about $33,000, including a 115-hp Yamaha 4-stroke, hydraulic steering, digital gauges, tilt helm, stainless dish steering wheel and polished stainless steel prop.
