Rigid Inflatable Boats with Motor

Rigid inflatable boats with motor come pre-fitted with a transom-mounted outboard engine, ready to run without sourcing power separately. Engine sizes range from 25hp on smaller 4-metre hulls up to 300hp on larger 9 to 10-metre patrol boats, with fuel-injected and carbureted options depending on the brand. The hull stays rigid, built from fiberglass or marine-grade aluminum, while inflatable tubes made of Hypalon or PVC run along the sides for buoyancy and impact absorption against docks, rocks, or other vessels.

Top speed depends on engine size and hull weight, generally falling between 28 and 45 knots for boats used in patrol or rescue roles. Fuel tanks range from 40 to 200 litres depending on hull size, giving working range without needing to refuel mid-mission. Steering setups include hydraulic or cable-driven systems connected to a centre console, with throttle and gear controls mounted for one-hand operation while the other hand manages a radio or weapon. Tubes divide into multiple air chambers, so a single puncture doesn’t leave the boat without buoyancy support.

Marine police and coast guard units use motorized RIBs for patrol along rivers, harbors, and coastal waters, where quick response time matters during interception or rescue calls. Port authorities use them to move personnel and equipment between docked vessels and shore facilities. Disaster response teams also deploy motorized RIBs during flood season, since the combination of speed and shallow draft lets them reach stranded residents in areas a larger boat couldn’t access.

Tactical Supply Pakistan supplies rigid inflatable boats with motor to marine police, coast guard, port authorities, and disaster response teams across Pakistan. Engine size and fuel tank capacity are matched to intended patrol range and mission type.
