The inaugural models in the new rigid inflatable boat line are the 11’10” Pure Watercraft by Highfield Classic 360 and the 12’6” Pure Watercraft by Highfield Classic Deluxe 380. Built with Highfield’s durable aluminum hulls and high-quality tubes and components, these RIBS are offered as complete boat systems incorporating the Pure Outboard electric propulsion package. Each compact, highly efficient Pure Outboard produces the equivalent of 50 horsepower, combined with silent running, zero emissions and no maintenance. With a two-battery-pack system, both RIBS boast a top speed of 25 mph; range at top speed is 14 miles. Range at a cruising speed of 16 mph is 17 miles, and range at a trolling speed of 3 mph is an impressive 68 miles. Offered as complete boat-and-motor packages, they are available only directly from Pure Watercraft; pre-orders are now being taken with delivery planned for early 2021.

“We are excited to partner with such an innovative company and to collaborate on a series of boats designed to aid the environment at the same time they are providing owners with hours of boating fun,” said Highfield Boats General Manager Tom Watson. “Whether they are used as primary boats or as tenders, these silent, zero-emissions, virtually maintenance-free RIBs are sure to deliver a premium boating experience.”
