Electric Jet-Powered Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB) - Highfield Zerojet Unveiled with Affordable Pricing
Revamped Rundown: The Green Wave Hits the Shore with Highfield ZerojetBrand new boatLatest newsTop headlines
Step aside, traditional petrol-powered tenders, because here comes the Highfield Zerojet, a sleek and clever little electric powerhouse.
Ignore its pint-sized stature; the Highfield Zerojet's impact on the tender scene is anything but insignificant. This pioneering little boat promises all the benefits of electric propulsion without bothering your wallet too much. It's a bit pricier than the average petrol mini-RIB, but let's face it - we're talking about a genuine emission-free alternative to a Williams Turbojet, not just your typical basic tender.
This marvel of engineering boasts an 18kW waterjet that, according to the makers, can propel it to a speedy top of 20 knots and handle the task of towing an inflatable watersports tube with ease. Compare that to a noisy, fuel-guzzling petrol outboard, and it's a no-brainer.
The movable wheel is a safety bonus, ensuring you can navigate the boat without threatening swimmers or your gelcoat. Plus, the low draft and lack of appendages make it perfect for tender garages and beaching duties. The seat back folds flat, and the steering wheel detaches to allow for seamless storage in even the tightest garages with just 1m of clearance.
The Highfield Zerojet's advantages don't stop at its smooth, quiet operation - its robust aluminum hull, with a 15-degree deadrise angle and 43mm diameter tubes, promises a stable, sturdy, and dry ride. We haven't taken it out for a spin yet, but if it lives up to its claims, we might just be witnessing a pivotal moment in the electric tender market.
