2024 Highfield UltraLite 290LT

The 2024 Highfield UltraLite 290LT is a lightweight runabout built on a 9.42-foot aluminum hull with 17-inch diameter tubes designed for stability and buoyancy. The boat accommodates a single 15 hp engine and up to four people total. Its aluminum hull is 2.5mm thick powder-coated marine-grade material, while the tubes are constructed from 1100 Decitex Valmex PVC or Orca Hypalon, assembled to precise tolerances.

The UltraLite design prioritizes portability and ease of handling. The boat is light enough for a single person to launch and retrieve, and it can be transported on a roof rack. This combination of lightweight construction and hard-hull performance makes it suitable as an alternative to soft-bottom tenders while retaining the durability and spaciousness expected in a small boat.

The layout is straightforward and uncluttered, with a range of standard accessories included. The design reflects practical thinking about utility and value in a compact boat intended for day-use and utility purposes.
