HB-LX Series

Rigid hull series

A lightweight rigid hull series packed with high performance features.

The Achilles HB-280LX provides the critically acclaimed performance of the Achilles HB-280DX deep “V” fiberglass hull design in a lighter RIB. The same tube design as the HB-DX series, yet a different deck design and no bow locker results in a 20% lighter weight than the HB-280DX.

This means they can perform well with smaller horsepower and transported very easily. Despite lighter weight and lower cost compared to the HB-280DX, the HB-280LX is still loaded with all the high quality standard features for which Achilles is known.

• Pearl Gray Achilles CSM reinforced fabric
