HB-AL Series

Rigid hull series

Our aluminum hull ribs let you go anywhere. We’ve incorporated all the best features of our pacesetting HB fiberglass hull inflatable boats into the HB-AL series. These rugged boats feature a marine grade aluminum hull that is powder-coated to ensure a smooth, long lasting finish. They offer the advantage of being lightweight yet remark- ably strong and durable. A modified V hull, combined with their lightweight, allow HB-AL boats to cut through water efficiently with less horsepower. All three HB-AL boats are single hull models that keep the weight of the boats down. They also all have non-skid deck patches for better traction, safety and comfort. All of this is in addition to a host of other great features perfected by Achilles through our years as a leader in RIB design and inflatable boat technology. The HB-AL boats are a great choice for boaters who want a fuel-efficient and well-performing RIB that can handle rocky coastlines, coral, frequent beaching, and anything else you can throw at them. HB-AL Standard Features include:

Achilles CSM reinforced fabric

Four layer seam construction

Powder-coated aluminum hull with non-skid patches (HB-310AL has full deck liner)

Hull keel guard

Fold-down locking oar system with two-piece breakdown aluminum oars and oar holders

Interior oar straps (HB-310AL only)

Full-length teardrop rubbing strake

HB-LX Series

Rigid hull series

A lightweight rigid hull series packed with high performance features.The Achilles HB-LX boats provide the critically acclaimed performance of the Achilles DX deep “V” fiberglass hull design in a lighter RIB. They also have the same tube design as the DX series, yet a modification of the deck design and removing the bow locker results in a RIB that is on average 20% lighter than the same size DX model. This means they can perform well with smaller engines and can be carried or transported more easily. Despite their lighter weight and lower cost compared to the HB-DX series, they are still loaded with all the high quality standard features for which Achilles is known. New Seat and Console Kits Now Available! We are now offering the perfect solutions for you to turn the best "open" RIB's on the market into the best "Deluxe" RIB's. We are now offering three different seat and console options. The "Deluxe" The Deluxe seat and console kit (part #HB4SCKIT) package includes a bench seat with folding backrest, a console with base and steering helm, and a cushion for the forward bow locker and is very attractively priced. The unique design of the console allows the base to be mounted as shown with a side seat (in the HB315DX) or it can also be mounted fore to aft in the HB350DX and HB385DX if a console with a forward-facing seat if desired. The "Basic" The basic seat and console kit (part #HBSCBASIC) is a 2-piece kit that has a one-piece console with steering helm and a fold down seat base. This option offers you the least expensive way to turn your open Achilles into a console boat. Although it doesn't come with a bow cushion – one can be ordered as an option for this kit or for any open DX RIB (part #HBBOWCUSHION). The Hula-Helm The Hula-Helm (part #HBHULAHELM) is a unique one-piece tubular stainless-steel seat and console combination unit that has a folding steering arm and seatback which allows the unit to become very low profile. This is convenient when trailering the boat, covering the boat, and may also be beneficial when mounting the boat on davit systems. It may also enable the boat to be stored in a "garage" on a larger yacht. It has a large fiberglass storage box under the seat cushion, and a fiberglass piece on which the steering helm is mounted. This area can also be used to install gauges, switches, and your engine controls. HB-LX Standard Features include:

Pearl Gray Achilles CSM reinforced fabric

Four-layer seam construction

Deep “V” fiberglass hull

Full-length teardrop rubbing strake

Removable wood rowing seat

It has a full length splashguard with lifelines, abrasion/wear patches on top of the tubes, and has a paddle in place of oars and oarlocks. Like all Achilles HB-AX models it features a tough, powder coated marine grade aluminum hull with a full length keel guard to stand up to frequent beachings, coral, rocks, and other rough surfaces. The double heavy-duty rubbing strake on all HB-AX models offers addition protection to the tubes from rocks, docks, and pilings. All HB-AX models also come with a vented bow locker large enough to accommodate a gas tank, and the ability to run a fuel line under the deck that enables you to free up deck space that is usually taken up by the fuel tank and fuel line. It also helps distribute weight more evenly by moving the gas tank forward. The flat deck with non-skid patches also offers better traction, safety, and comfort. This unique design also allows water to flow under the deck to keep your feet dry if any water gets into the boat. New Seat and Console Kits Now Available!

HB-DX Series

Rigid hull series

These deluxe hard bottom inflatables offer boaters the best combination of style, performance and functionality. Sleek, Euro-style tubes give them a stylish edge over other RIB’s. A deep “V” fiberglass hull delivers superior performance while a built-in bow locker provides both a seat and a 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 Achilles CSM fabric so they can handle the burning sun of the tropics or cold northern waters without fading or deteriorating. Choose a rigid-hulled inflatable that gives you a little extra. Choose an Achilles HB-DX. New Seat and Console Kits Now Available!
