It's a genuine 6-person all-rounder, and one that'll carry a full crew comfortably rather than just squeezing them in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe aluminium hull means beaching, rocky shorelines and the odd clumsy landing are nothing to worry about - this is a tender built to take the coastline as it comes, so you can push a bit further afield without a second thought. It's the kind of boat that gives you the confidence to actually use it, rather than babying it back to the mooring at the first sign of a rocky landing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo console options are available on the 340: the FCT8 and the GT, so if you want a proper helm setup with a bit more comfort and functionality than a tiller arrangement, you've got the choice to build the boat around how you'll actually use it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHighfield Classic 340 Key Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarries up to 6 people with a 480kg maximum load\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelf-draining deck for easy cleanup after a day on the water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 air chambers for reassurance and redundancy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRated to 30hp for confident performance with a full load aboard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo console options available: the FCT8 and the GT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable with PVC or Hypalon tubes - see below to find your fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePVC or Hypalon tubes?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Classic 340 is available with either PVC or Hypalon tubes.
