Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can this boat be folded or rolled up?
No. As a RIB (Rigid Inflatable Boat), the fiberglass hull is solid and cannot be folded. You will need a trailer, davits, or a roof rack for transport.
2. What is the benefit of a Fiberglass RIB over an Air Floor?
A RIB offers significantly better **tracking and speed**. It planes faster and provides a much more stable ride in choppy water compared to a soft-bottom boat.
