Buyer-Centric FAQ:

Q1: Is this 5.2m boat really stable enough for 10 people?

A: Yes, when used within its designed capacity. The combination of the wide, buoyant inflatable tubes and the stable aluminum V-hull provides a secure platform. The CE certification confirms it meets specific stability and safety standards for carrying 10 persons under defined conditions. For optimal comfort, we recommend it for typical day-trip loads of passengers and gear.

Q2: Why choose aluminum over fiberglass for a boat of this size?

A: For this class of boat, aluminum offers distinct advantages: it's significantly lighter, which improves performance and fuel economy with smaller engines, makes it easier to trailer, and is incredibly durable and low-maintenance—it won't crack like fiberglass might from impact and is immune to osmosis. The 5-year hull warranty underscores its longevity.

Q3: Can this effectively serve as a tender for a midsize yacht (e.g., 50-70ft)?

A: Absolutely. It's an excellent yacht tender for vessels of that size. Its lightweight aluminum construction makes it easy to lift on davits, its 10-person capacity is great for guest shuttles, and its 120L fuel tank allows for multiple trips. The center console design offers good handling for the driver during docking maneuvers.

Q4: What kind of watersports can it handle?

A: With the recommended 70HP engine, it's well-suited for towing inflatable tubes, wakeboards, or water-skiers. For more demanding sports like wake surfing, opting for the maximum 90HP and adding the optional ski tow pylon is recommended. The stable RIB platform provides a good tow point.

Q5: How customizable is it? Can we get a specific color for the tubes?

A: We offer a high degree of customization. You can select from a range of standard colors for the inflatable tubes and hull. We can also often match custom colors for an additional fee. Other customizable elements include the deck material (EVA, teak, etc.), cushion upholstery color, and the selection of factory options like the Bimini or lighting packages.

Q6: What is the typical lead time for an order?

A: For a standard configuration, the lead time is typically 6-8 weeks from order confirmation and deposit receipt. If you require extensive customization (like special colors or non-standard accessories), the timeline may extend slightly, which we will confirm during the quotation process. We ensure clear communication throughout production.
