Aluminum or GRP: questions to ask
A practical framework for discussing your next rigid inflatable boat.
Start with the operating environment
Discuss how the boat will be used, maintained and stored. Hull selection depends on application, design, weight and the complete boat configuration.
Review construction and equipment
Ask about hull construction, finish, maintenance guidance and the fittings included. Compare the actual models rather than assuming every aluminum or GRP boat performs alike.
Request the documentation
Review the model specification, rated capacity, engine limits and applicable certification documents before making a purchase decision.
