Home>Achilles Boats>SU Series Workboat

SU Boats are built tough to work hard for rugged private and commercial use.
They are made with an additional heavy-duty layer of 840-denier nylon fabric in a two-ply technique which results in a core fabric even stronger than a single base fabric of equal thickness. A number of exclusive features such as recessed valves are built into these boats which combine to bring the advantages of an inflatable to the demands of tough commercial marine use.

SU Standard Features Include: Hypalon/Neoprene fabric; toughest double layer (840 denier each) nylon core fabric; trigon air keel; aluminum self-locking floorboards & stringer system; fiberglass transom with aluminum plate & motor pad; fuel tank tie-down; large self-bailer; extra-wide, heavy-duty, full-length teardrop rubbing strake; tie-down straps for paddles; bow handle; towing bridle D-rings; lift & carry handles; splash guard with life lines; heavy-duty reinforced cargo wear patch all around; extra tie-down D-rings; heavy duty recessed valves; two (2) high-volume large foot pumps; and maintenance kit.
