2026 Highfield Classic 290

The Highfield Classic 290 is a compact aluminum runabout designed to carry four people while delivering practical utility and easy handling. At 9.5 feet long with a 5.58-foot beam, it balances modest dimensions with a 1,056-pound payload capacity, making it well-suited for short trips and casual outings. The lightweight aluminum construction paired with a full-length keel guard provides durability for regular use, including beach landings and shallow-water exploration.

Powered by a single 20-horsepower Yamaha or Mercury engine, the boat delivers responsive performance while keeping fuel consumption modest. The efficient setup takes advantage of the aluminum hull's weight savings, allowing capable operation even with this modest power plant. The boat's manageable size and responsive handling make it easy to navigate and maneuver in varied conditions.
