Ecosse 280WB 2.8 Metre Ruggedised Lightweight Inflatable Tender
Ecosse 280WBThis page is about our lightweight Ecosse v hull tender and though the standard 290 is getting rave reviews we are extremely proud of this boat with a flat front bow to give more deck space.
Like our other boats this boat was designed for users who wanted a more ruggedised version of Europe’s leading lightweight tender brand.
This boat is not designed to be the best looking tender on the market. It is simply designed to be the most functional lightweight boat we could make that is durable enough for exploring the west coast of Scotland.
The key difference between our standard 290 and this boat is:
- More deck space even though 10cm shorter
- A v shape bow.
Though the v shape is not huge it is more than enough to cope with the waves and tracks slightly better than the standard 290 boat tender. It also has a bit more deck space due to the different bow shape.
To do this, the boat is slightly heavier but is still a very very lightweight boat and comes with all the features we know you appreciate in the standard range.
- 3 year warranty
- Wide tubes for extra stability
- Rugged enough to cope with the demands of Scotland’s west coast
- Easy to lift by hand, davits, or towed
This boat also comes with a higher carrying capacity than the 290
Why chose this over the standard 290 lightweight boat tender?
If you are happy enough lifting a couple of extra kg and still want a lightweight boat this boat will give you more deck space and slightly better tracking this is the boat for you.
