The Mercury 420 Ocean Runner Hypalon (CSM) Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB) is a serious step up in the Ocean Runner range - offering more deck space, higher capacity, and greater horsepower. With its flat inner floor and integrated bow step/storage locker, the 420 provides outstanding comfort and practicality, making it equally at home as a versatile standalone family boat or as a heavy-duty tender for larger yachts and cruisers.
With space for up to 7 adults and a payload capacity of 800 kg, the Ocean Runner 420 is built for adventure. Rated for up to 40 hp outboards, it delivers confident performance and stability on the water. The OceanRunner seris has been trusted in Australia over 15 years by sailing clubs, training programs, and recreational boaters who need a durable and spacious craft that performs well in demanding conditions.
For added flexibility, the 420 Ocean Runner can be configured in multiple ways: leave it as an open runabout for maximum deck space, or option it with a jockey console or full bench console for improved comfort, steering, and control. This adaptability makes it suitable for everything from casual family use to club training or tender duties on larger yachts.
