This popular 4-man model offers more room with a 1056 lb payload. The high quality finish and luxury look belies the fact that this range of tenders has been designed to work hard. A durable aluminum hull coupled with a full length keelguard make these ideal for those beach-hop- ping days with friends and family. The weight savings achieved, compared to equivalent fiberglass RIBs, means you'll enjoy impressive performance with smaller engines, and with a range of sizes, the Classic range really does offer a tender for everyone.
The FCT steering console option is available for CL310 and longer, turning the Classic into an easy handling runabout, perfect for having fun when you've anchored for lunch. The raised deck means you'll keep your feet and gear dry. Davit lifting eyes are welded into the deck for easy launching and towing, and the heavy duty rub strake with spray deflecting profile will give you peace of mind when coming back alongside the dock.
