Defender FRB400 Fire Rescue Boat 13'1" - 2025 Red Edition

Description

The 2025 Defender FRB400 is an essential rapid-response vessel for firefighting and search and rescue teams. Unlike traditional rescue boats with heavy floorboards, the FRB400 utilizes a high-pressure drop-stitch air floor. This technology provides the rigidity required for stable standing and high-speed maneuvers while significantly reducing the total boat weight to just 154 lbs. This allows for faster manual launches and easier transport to remote water access points.

Built from heavy-duty 1,100 Decitex PVC in high-visibility Safety Red, the FRB400 is engineered to be seen and to survive. The hull is reinforced with wide rubbing strakes and under-tube protection to handle debris-filled floodwaters. Featuring over-pressure relief valves and an inflatable V-keel for precision handling, this boat is a reliable workhorse for agencies requiring a portable, high-capacity rescue platform.
