4.8

AGILE PERFORMER. DEPLOYABLE. STABLE.

The RIBCRAFT 4.8 employs RIBCRAFT’s signature deep V Hull to offer superior handling and performance. Incorporating the qualities of exceptional safety, design, and reliability, the 4.8 planes with ease, corners without skidding and provides a smooth stable ride. Easily launched by trailer or hoist or towed and stored aboard a larger boat, at just under 16’, the 4.8 is an exceptional all purpose boat. The 4.8 features a solid commercial fiberglass hull, a molded non-skid deck, and heavy duty Hypalon® tube with multiple chambers and pressure relief valves.
