This is the roomiest Ultralite going, yet it can still be launched and recovered single-handed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith space for six aboard, the 340 is the one to reach for when it's not just you and one other making the crossing - it's built to get the whole crew and their kit from ship to shore in one trip rather than two.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 53kg boat-only weight, it's light enough to sit on a roof rack, which opens up options the bigger RIBs in most ranges simply don't have. You get the carrying capacity of a proper tender without the storage and towing hassle that usually comes with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe hull is high tensile chromated and powder-coated aluminium, so beach landings, rocky shorelines and the odd clumsy mooring are shrugged off rather than dreaded. A welded PVC construction and full-length keel guard back that up, so it's built for regular use, not just fair-weather outings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHighfield Ultralite 340 Key Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"KsbFXc U6u95\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe roomiest tender in the Ultralite range at 3.37m\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarries up to 6 people with a 438kg maximum load\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJust 53kg boat-only weight - single-handed launch and roof rack transport\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e15° dead rise for a smoother ride when the water's up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 air chambers for reassurance and redundancy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRated to 20hp for a decent turn of speed once you're aboard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable with ORCA® Hypalon or PVC 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 Ultralite 340 is available with either PVC or Hypalon tubes.

It ships in a compact package sized 300 x 105 x 36.5cm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does the Ultralite 340 compare to the Ultralite 310?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 340 carries an extra passenger and around 38kg more load than the 310, with a longer hull and higher-rated engine to match. If you're regularly out as a full crew of six, the 340 is the one to go for - for parties of four or five, the 310 keeps things a touch more manageable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHighfield RIBs at Morgan Marine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe can supply Highfields as a boat-only option or as a complete \"turn-key\" package with a choice of outboard engines and trailers.
