2026 Highfield Classic 260

The Highfield Classic 260 is an 8.5-foot rigid inflatable with an aluminum hull and ORCA Hypalon tubes. Built with high-tensile chromated and powder-coated aluminum, the hull features welded seams, a full-length keel guard, and a heavy-duty rubbing strake for durability. The boat carries three air chambers with 17-inch tube diameters and a 10.5-degree deadrise.

Standard equipment includes a bow locker sized to fit a 24-liter fuel tank, integrated transom supports, lifting and towing points, a brushed foam teak finish deck, and a full complement of accessories: foot pump, oars, repair kit, Highfield dry bag, under-seat storage bag, and tank strap kit. The removable seat and tow bridle points add flexibility for different uses.

The boat weighs 119 pounds dry and accommodates up to three passengers plus one additional person, with a maximum payload of 794 pounds. It runs on a single 15 horsepower outboard engine with short shaft configuration. The portable fuel tank mounts at the transom, and the boat can be powered with either a 9.9 or 15 horsepower motor depending on requirements.
