The Achilles LT-4 two-person boat can go from their handy carry bags to fully equipped dinghies in just minutes. Compact enough to be stored virtually anywhere, they are safe, durable and dependable dinghies capable of carrying substantial loads. They come fully equipped with a fold-down oar system, wood seat, fold-up floor and motor mount.
