rt 290 RIB

[AmyD]

Looking for current specs on the Ranger RT 290 RIB inflatable? (length, width, depth, weight...)
Update: this will be included on our 2023 RT31 that we are picking up in January.
Thanks!

I believe they are actually a rebranded Mercury 290 Oceanrunner:

or possibly the zodiac cadet 290, RT would have to confirm. they are both very similar dimensions.

Thanks for the input.
Hoping someone from RT might respond.
We are taking delivery of our new boat in January.

Ours is almost exactly identical in every way to the Zodiac. So I would assume those are the specs within very close margins.

I was told by an RT rep years ago that they came out of the Zodiac factory, but are not exactly the same as a Zodiac. I really have no idea if that is true, but they do seem to resemble the Zodiac to me.....

The Merc and the Zodiac list 15hp as the max, whereas the RT one has 9.9hp stamped on the transom.

15hp on these things would sure be fun 🙂

My C-30 came with the 260RIB which says 6hp or 66lbs max, so naturally I got a mint condition 2 stroke 8hp Yamaha (56lbs) with planing fins, and let me tell you, that thing rips! I've clocked it at 21kn with just me on board. :lol:

It's still under the 100lbs maximum ... 😉
