What this video covers
The Highfield 310 rigid inflatable boat (RIB) serves as a primary tender for cruising, offering a 10-foot-2-inch length and a 137-pound weight that balances stability with ease of handling on davits.2:16 The design features a double-baffled floor that keeps the deck dry and provides a flat, stable surface for standing.9:53 A bow locker houses a five-gallon fuel tank, which improves weight distribution for planing and protects the fuel line by routing it beneath the floorboards.10:40 The flat-bow configuration facilitates boarding from docks or swim platforms, while integrated grab straps assist with reboarding from the water.7:01 The boat is rated for up to 1,200 pounds and supports outboard motors up to 20 horsepower.6:01 The owner pairs this hull with a 15-horsepower Yamaha Enduro two-stroke engine, noting that the specific placement of grab handles and the bow locker storage are critical for daily utility in remote cruising environments.12:58
