Highfield’s latest Sport 460 is one of 11 new boats in this new, fully-featured Sport line-up.
With 19” tubes, and a 6-foot 10-inch beam there is plenty of space for 9 people and far more storage than the 390.
The 20 degree hull provides the ride comfort and Yamaha potent F70 provides the power.
Join us to see all of the details close up and watch us break 42 before cranking out a few wicked u-turns!
“Highfield Ocean Master models are heavy duty RIBs (Rigid Inflatable Boats) designed to handle rough open water. With a 4mm thick welded aluminum hull sporting a 24 degree dead rise, this Highfield Ocean Master 540 Deluxe has a very solid flex-free feeling and sliced through waves with ease.
All Ocean Masters include full length keel guards, a bow step with a morning cleat, anti-slip self-draining decks and large sturdy hand rails on the centre console.”

I started with a lot of enthusiasm and ran my query multiple times, adapting it to get the desired result.
I noticed that it was a mix of brands that differed from each other to a lesser extent. So I began to worry about the precision of the ChatGPT neural network even in this stadium.
Only when I pointed out that some information was incorrect did the tool excuse itself and provided more accurate information about RIBs smaller than 4 meter. That was awesome.
So I still had to “correct” the items in the list and added the links myself.
I learned that the formulation of the question must be very clear to get what you want. It’s like working with software developers.
It certainly wasn’t all doom and gloom; I really enjoy(ed) working with ChatGPT, albeit with some nuances in the answers. Privacy, safety, and copyright are certainly things to be aware of!
I really liked being able to have a conversation to delve deeper into the subject matter of RIBs smaller than 4 meter. This concept motivated me to keep going and achieve better results; in contrast to Google, for example.

The last years electric engines on RIBs and other boats are slowly emerging but what with the hydrogen as fuel? I did some research on the subject and incorporated it into this high-level article.
