The AB Alumina series is the lightest and most durable center console tender available. Featuring an aluminum hull with a modular console design, these boats require less horsepower than their fiberglass siblings. The AB 18ALX is the newest and longest in the ALX series, includes the forward jump seat in front of the console, giving the boat a total of four cushioned seats with plenty of deck space for gear storage or people, including over 10 feet of open deck space. Davit lifting hardware is built into the boat along with a boarding step on the bow with a foldable cleat, two more foldable cleats on each side of the stern, and navigation lights. Rounding out this rig, a built-in fuel tank, cup holder, and extra large console provide exceptional ammenities as well as room for additional upgrades.
