Achilles incorporated all the best features of their pacesetting HB fiberglass hull inflatable boats into the HB-AL series. These rugged boats feature a marine grade aluminum hull that is powder-coated to ensure a smooth, long lasting finish. They offer the advantage of being lightweight yet remark- ably strong and durable. A modified V hull, combined with their lightweight, allow HB-AL boats to cut through water efficiently with less horsepower.
