Airship 288

Description

The 288 - first boat in the Airship product line.  With the management teams decision to implement Vacuum Resin Infusion from Airship’s inception, the 288 was the school and test platform for our lamination team to perfect the VRI process.  Coupled with all foam cored sandwich construction, the boat is lightweight and durable.

This RIB is the right size for many uses; the length provides safety and stability in all sea states.  This platform is proven in all water sports from diving to towing.  A byproduct of the lightweight is great performance with all outboard engine sizes up to 350 HP, but also offers outstanding fuel economy, safety and ease of trailering.

With a long list of options the Airship 288 can be configured to meet the most demanding needs from yacht tender to performance RIB.
