The AB brand of rigid hull inflatable boats is now back on sale in NSW through Boating Connexions at Taren Point in Sydney’s South.
Boating Connexions is headed by Neil Solomons, a long-time exponent of inflatable boats, having been the importer of Avon Inflatables out of the UK and a distributor of Zodiac and Caribe inflatables in the past.
Boating Connexions was recently appointed the NSW Distributor of AB Inflatables.
AB Inflatables began life in Venezuela over 40 years ago and has more recently shifted operations to a purpose-built facility in Colombia.
Manufacturing is conducted under the ISO9001 international standard and their RIBs range in length from 2.5m to over 8m and are capable of carrying engines from 2hp to 450hp.
AB Inflatables hulls are constructed from both aluminium and fiberglass, and feature high-performance Hypalon fabric.
Boating Connexions says the AB hull has a unique raised-bow and deep-V configuration which enhances performance, enabling the boats to plane more easily with less horsepower. These features also provide a smoother, more stable and drier ride, we're told.
Inside the boat, this design extends the floors forward and creates a wider and longer bow. The result is a roomier, more comfortable craft with ample storage for fuel and provisions.
AB Inflatables come with a factory 10-year fabric warranty.
