Sleek, Euro-style tubes along with lateral seams give them a stylish edge over other RIBs. A deeper "V" fiberglass hull delivers superior performance while a built-in bow locker provides both a seat and a safe, dry place for gear. If you want to take a step above the norm in a hard-bottomed tender, step up to an Achilles HB-DX RIB. Like every Achilles boat they are made with our own Hypalon® fabric so they can handle the burning sun of the tropics or cold northern waters without fading or deteriorating. And with their sporty side, they really put "fun" into functionality. Choose a rigid-hulled inflatable that gives you a little extra. Choose an Achilles HB-DX in 2008.
