New for 2026, and redesigned with EVA foram seat, additional handles, updated rubstrake and new Mercury logos. The Mercury 460 Ocean Runner Hypalon (CSM) Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB) is the flagship of the Ocean Runner range — delivering the most deck space, carrying capacity, and horsepower while retaining the flat inner floor and integrated bow step/storage locker that set this series apart. Heavier and more robust than lightweight open-floor tenders, the 460 is built as a capable standalone boat or a dependable tender for larger yachts and cruisers.
Trusted across Australia by sailing clubs, sporting programs, and Navy cadet units, the 460 pairs a rugged deep-V fibreglass hull with commercial-grade Hypalon tubes for durability in harsh marine conditions. Seating up to 9 adults with a 900 kg payload and rated for outboards up to 60 hp, it offers confident performance for family adventures, coaching/support duties, and coastal exploring.
Configure it your way: keep it as a spacious open runabout, or option a jockey console or full bench console for helm comfort, storage, and control.

Why Choose the Ocean Runner Hypalon?
Unlike lighter tenders such as the Dynamic series with an open single V-hull, the Ocean Runner features a flat inner deck and integrated bow storage for superior comfort and practicality. The 460’s larger platform, higher horsepower rating, and four-chamber Hypalon tubes make it the ideal choice for families, clubs, and yacht owners who need maximum space, durability, and capability in tough Australian conditions.
