T260LX Grey 2025
Inflatable Specialist Insight: The T260LX (MPN T260LX Grey 2025) is the ultimate ultra-portable tender. Its catamaran hull design provides superior stability and efficiency, allowing it to plane with smaller outboards compared to traditional monohulls. The iconic open-bow and open-transom design makes boarding from the water or the beach effortless. For 2025, the Grey edition offers a sleek, UV-resistant aesthetic that complements modern yachts and adventure rigs.
Versatility Meets Innovative Hull Technology
The Takacat T260LX (MPN: T260LX Grey 2025) is engineered for those who demand a high-performance boat that fits in a bag. At 8' 6" in length, this boat is the perfect size for a 2-3 person tender or a solo fishing platform. The high-pressure Drop-stitch Air Floor provides a rigid, stable platform that feels as solid as a hard deck but remains soft underfoot and incredibly lightweight.
Takacat's unique Tube Transom® is a game-changer for portability. The transom bars can be fully removed, allowing the tubes to be rolled up much tighter than traditional RIBs or fixed-transom inflatables. This makes the T260LX the premier choice for RV travelers, sailors with limited deck space, and explorers who need a boat that can be launched anywhere.
