The 2023 AB Inflatables Mares 12 VSX is a compact fiberglass rigid inflatable built for versatility. At 12 feet with a 6-foot beam, it combines a hand-laid fiberglass deep-V hull with ORCA five-layer coated fabric tubes for durability and performance. Powered by a single 40 hp Yamaha outboard, it's lightweight yet rugged enough for years of dependable service. Four stainless steel davit lifting points make it easy to haul aboard larger yachts, making it an ideal tender.
The boat features an integrated fiberglass console with plexiglass windshield and comfortable seating for operator and passengers. The stern seat doubles as storage, and a bow locker with hatch cushion provides additional room. The non-skid diamond-pattern deck and roomy cockpit keep the focus on practical comfort. Below deck, stainless steel grab rails, tow rings, and tie downs are distributed throughout for safety and convenience.
Equipment includes LED navigation and anchor lights, mechanical steering with a stainless steel wheel, a 500 GPH automatic bilge pump, and a fuel and water separator filter. The console houses a battery box with switch, and all wiring is sealed with heat shrink terminals. Rubber fenders and handling are secured with reinforced seams and stainless hardware throughout. A Venture trailer is included.
