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?
