Highfield Ultralite 260LT
The UL260LT is ideal for someone needing to carry up to four people, powered by a maximum 6hp engine, and featuring 17" diameter large tubes (LT) for greater stability and buoyancy compared to the SS version. As the name suggests, the Ultralites' low weight provides a real alternative for those who might have previously chosen a soft bottom tender but now seek the performance of a hard hull. Ultralite tenders are spacious and strong, yet light and easy to transport. These small boats can be launched and recovered by one person and are easily carried on a roof rack. The UL hull is constructed from 2.5mm thick powder-coated marine-grade aluminum, and the tubes are made from 1100 Decitex Valmex® PVC or Orca® Hypalon material, cut and assembled to precise standards. The simple, uncluttered design of the UL, along with numerous standard accessories, makes the UL series one of the best values in inflatable boats.
