Buyer's Perspective FAQ

Q: Hypalon vs. PVC tube, how should I choose?

A: Hypalon is known for its superior resistance to UV rays, chemicals, and extreme temperatures, and generally has a longer lifespan, making it ideal for high-intensity commercial use or prolonged exposure to strong sunlight. PVC, on the other hand, offers excellent value for money, providing strong durability and puncture resistance, making it a perfectly adequate and economical choice for most recreational uses. We can advise based on your budget and typical usage scenarios.

Q: Is this boat truly suitable for both commercial operation and family leisure?

A: Yes, that's precisely the essence of this classic model's design. Its CE certification ensures compliance with stringent safety standards, while the deep-V fiberglass hull and 150-250HP power configuration provide the performance and reliability required for commercial operation. Meanwhile, the convertible seat/sunbathing pad layout, ample storage space, and optional comfort features (such as an awning) make it equally suitable for family outings and weekend getaways, achieving dual-purpose functionality.

Q: Will choosing the maximum 250hp engine affect the boat's stability or warranty? 

A: 250 hp is the maximum safe power limit for this vessel model, verified and approved by engineers. As long as installation is carried out according to our configuration recommendations (including correct engine mounts and weight balance), using this power will not affect the vessel's stability or safety, nor will it void the hull warranty. We strongly recommend confirming your engine model with us before finalizing the specifications.

Q: What is included in the standard configuration? Do I need to purchase many additional accessories for basic use?

A: The standard configuration includes a complete inflatable hull, a console with basic seating, a fiberglass table/cushion conversion kit, and a 200-liter fuel tank, making it fully operational. T-shaped canopies, awnings, diving ladders, and water skis are optional accessories that you can flexibly add according to future needs, without having to invest in all items at once.

Q: What is the delivery time and shipping method?

A: The standard production cycle is approximately XX-XX weeks (please fill in according to your actual situation). We typically use ocean container shipping (1 vessel can fit in a 20-foot container, 3 vessels can fit in a 40-foot container), with door-to-door service available. The exact shipping cost and delivery time depend on your destination port. We will provide a precise timeline and shipping cost estimate when you submit a detailed inquiry.

I. Safety Operation Manual for the Liya 6.6m Classic RIB

1. Fundamental Safety Principles

Prior to every voyage, a meticulous safety check is mandatory. Verify that the craft is equipped with a full complement for the intended passenger count and operating zone. This includes properly sized and serviceable life jackets (PFDs) for all persons onboard, a throwable flotation device, fire extinguisher, visual and audible distress signals, a first-aid kit, and a functioning bilge pump. 

The operator bears the ultimate responsibility for ensuring all safety protocols are followed. The most critical single action is the correct use of the engine cut-off lanyard (kill switch). This device must be securely attached to the helmsman's person before engine start-up and remain connected throughout operation. It is the primary mechanism to stop the engine if the helmsman is displaced.

2. Pre-Departure Checks and Passenger Management

Conduct a systematic walk-through. Inspect the Hypalon/PVC tubes for correct inflation pressure and any signs of abrasion or damage. Check the fiberglass hull for any cracks or impact damage, particularly along the keel. Verify fluid levels: ensure the 200L fuel tank has adequate fuel for the trip plus a significant reserve, and check the 80L freshwater tank if its system is in use. Test all electronics, navigation lights, and the horn. Crucially, brief all passengers on basic safety procedures before leaving the dock. Point out the location of life jackets, fire extinguishers, and safety grabs. Emphasize the importance of remaining seated within the cockpit area while the boat is underway, especially when planing or in choppy conditions. For social gatherings or parties, extra vigilance is required to prevent unsafe behavior or overboard incidents.

3. Handling and Navigation with High Horsepower

The significant power range of 150 to 250 HP endows this RIB with exhilarating performance that demands respect and skilled handling. Apply throttle smoothly and progressively to bring the boat onto plane, avoiding sudden jolts. At high speed, the fiberglass hull provides a solid, stable ride, but awareness of sea state is paramount. In head seas, reduce speed to avoid pounding. In following seas, be cautious of surfing down waves, which can reduce steering control. The T-top and sun canopy are excellent for comfort but can act as a sail in strong crosswinds; compensate with deliberate steering inputs. When docking or maneuvering at low speed, use short, controlled bursts of throttle, as the high horsepower can make the boat responsive. Always be mindful of the propeller's position and ensure all passengers are clear of the transom area during engine starts or shifts.

4. Special Considerations for Versatile Use

The boat's design for fishing, leisure, and events necessitates adaptable practices. For fishing, ensure all tackle and gear are stowed securely to prevent sliding and to keep decks clear. During business events or social gatherings, pay strict attention to passenger count—never exceed the 12-person certification limit. The flexible seating allows for configuration, but always ensure the weight distribution is balanced to maintain optimal hull trim. When the boat is stopped for swimming or festivities, shut off the engine completely. The large fuel and water capacities enable extended trips; always file a float plan with someone ashore detailing your destination and expected return time when venturing far from port.

II. Comprehensive Maintenance Schedule

1. After Every Use (Post-Operation Care)

Immediate care after use is the most effective way to ensure longevity. Flush the outboard engine thoroughly with fresh water using earmuffs or a flushing port to prevent salt and corrosion buildup inside the cooling system. Rinse the entire boat with fresh water, paying special attention to the Hypalon/PVC tubes, fiberglass hull, and the non-slip deck to remove salt, sand, and biological matter. Flush the deck drains to prevent clogging. Wipe down the console, T-top, and sun canopy fabric with a damp cloth. Open all storage compartments and hatches to allow air circulation and dry out any moisture, helping to prevent mildew.

2. Weekly or 50-Hour Interval Checks

At regular intervals, perform a more detailed inspection. Check the inflation pressure of all tube chambers when the boat is in a stable, cool environment, adjusting to the manufacturer's recommended PSI. Conduct a close visual inspection of the tube material and seams for signs of UV fading, chafing, or delamination. Inspect the fiberglass hull for new stress cracks, gelcoat blisters, or damage, particularly around the lifting handles and keel. Test the automatic bilge pump by pouring a small amount of water into the bilge. Check the tightness of all through-hull fittings, including those for the fuel and water tanks. Examine the fuel system for any leaks or hose degradation, a critical safety check given the 200L tank capacity.

3. Seasonal or 100-Hour/Annual Maintenance

At least once a season or as specified in your engine manual, perform major servicing. This includes professional servicing of the outboard engine (oil changes, gear lube replacement, spark plug and fuel filter replacement, and water pump impeller inspection). Have a qualified technician check the steering system and control cables for corrosion and smooth operation. Deep clean the Hypalon/PVC tubes with a dedicated, non-abrasive inflatable boat cleaner, followed by the application of a UV protectant to significantly extend material life. Inspect the condition of the sun canopy fabric for tears or UV degradation and repair or replace as necessary. Check all electrical connections for corrosion, especially on the battery terminals and for the navigation lights on the T-top. Ensure the bilge pump switch and float operate correctly.

4. Winterization or Long-Term Storage

If the boat will be stored for an extended period, proper preparation is key. Completely drain the 200L fuel tank and fuel lines, or use a fuel stabilizer for the entire system. Drain the 80L freshwater tank and all connecting lines to prevent freezing and bacterial growth. Remove the battery, clean the terminals, and store it on a trickle charger in a cool, dry place. Deflate the tubes slightly (to about 80% pressure) to relieve constant stress on the material and seams, but not so much that the boat loses its shape. Store the boat on a proper trailer or support system, covered with a breathable fabric cover in a dry, shaded location away from rodents.
