2025 Achilles HB-280LX

The Achilles HB-280LX is a rigid inflatable built on the proven deep-V fiberglass hull design that defines the Achilles lineup. This model incorporates the same tube design as the larger HB-DX series but with a refined deck layout and simplified bow configuration, resulting in a boat that weighs roughly 20 percent less than its DX counterpart of equivalent size. The weight reduction allows the boat to perform effectively with smaller engines and simplifies transport and handling.

At 9.17 feet in length with a 5.42-foot beam, the HB-280LX maintains the quality construction and standard equipment expected across the Achilles range. The fiberglass hull and tube construction deliver the durability and performance characteristics the brand is known for, while the lighter build makes this model more accessible without sacrificing core capabilities.
