The Mercury 270 Dynamic Hypalon (CSM) Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB) offers the ideal balance of durability, performance, and portability. Featuring a one-piece fibreglass hull with advanced vacuum-injection molding, it combines the rigidity of a traditional boat with the lightweight advantages of an inflatable — making it an excellent choice for tenders, day trips, and recreational adventures.
With Hypalon (CSM) tube construction, the 270 Dynamic delivers superior resistance to UV, saltwater, and abrasion — ensuring longevity in demanding climates. Carrying up to 4 passengers and powering comfortably with up to an 8hp outboard, this model is the versatile tender of choice for boat owners who demand more capacity and reliability than entry-level inflatables.
