Inflatable Boat Advantage
Affordability
While prices can vary, our RIBS are generally more affordable than comparable hard sided boats without compromising on quality or performance.
Lightweight
PACE RIBS are considerably lighter than their fiberglass or aluminum counterparts! As a result, RIBS offer superior towability, and enhanced fuel economy and range without sacrificing performance.
Stability
PACE Inflatable tubes rest in the water while off a plane, creating an incredibly stable platform; while at speed, the tubes rise out of the water and our heavily chined deep-V aluminum hull provides a comfortable and dry ride, even in rough conditions.
Safety
Our multi chamber Inflatable tubes are made from top grade European HEYtex or VALMEX PVC and Orca Hypalon fabrics that are extremely durable and feature a heavy duty rubbing strake for added protection. It’s essentially impossible to puncture a tube while fishing, and in the unlikely event a tube is damaged, the remaining chambers will remain inflated, allowing for a safe return and easy repair. Being unsinkable, it’s no wonder RIBS are the #1 choice for search and rescue, law enforcement, and military applications!
Versatility
PACE RIBS make the perfect companion for fishing, hunting, watersports, camping, diving, or as a dinghy. They are designed for use in all types of water, are easily towed and stored, and offer increased performance and value for money versus traditional hard sided boats.
