A single 300 provides sufficient performance while reducing fuel use. Its 26\u00b0 dead rise hull ensures confident handling in chop, making the ride stable, dry, and comfortable at speed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Design<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Built with an aluminum hull and Hypalon tubes, the Highfield Sport 900 is tough, lightweight, and ready for rugged conditions. A recessed bow anchor avoids docking obstructions, while the synthetic teak flooring improves grip and comfort. Four lifting points allow crane handling, ideal for seasonal storage or tender operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Comfort<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Convertible aft seating transforms into a European-style sunbed, accommodating up to eight around a removable table. Twin swim ladders, freshwater shower, and well-placed grab handles emphasize user-friendly design. The tall aluminum T-top provides generous shade and secure mounting points for boards, dive gear, or watersports equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Practicality<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The center console blends rugged alloy with smooth fiberglass finishes for a refined feel. Helm ergonomics are excellent, with Garmin multifunction display, joystick handling, digital engine diagnostics, and ample storage. A compact wet bar increases versatility, while the self-draining decks simplify maintenance for extended outdoor storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Amenities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Inside the console of this Highfield Sport 900 is a marine toilet with sturdy construction, natural light, and thoughtful fittings. The sound system benefits from enclosed acoustics, creating subwoofer-like depth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">High-quality finishes, robust fixtures, and practical storage solutions complete the package.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This video was published on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@BoatLife_DansBoatLife\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the <strong>BoatLife<\/strong> YouTube channel<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Proud to share that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.highfieldboats.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Highfield<\/a> is a good Friend of RIBs ONLY.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@BoatLife_DansBoatLife\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Specs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><tbody><tr><td>Total length<\/td><td>9.12 m<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Internal length<\/td><td>6.99 m<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Total width<\/td><td>3.10 m<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Internal width<\/td><td>1.84 m<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Dead rise<\/td><td>26\u00b0<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Tube diameter<\/td><td>58 cm<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Number of air chambers<\/td><td>6<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Maximum load<\/td><td>1,520 kg<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Maximum number of people<\/td><td>19<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Boat only Weight<\/td><td>1,780 kg*<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Fuel tank<\/td><td>352 l<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Maximum horsepower<\/td><td>425 hp \/ 2 x 300 hp<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Engine shaft<\/td><td>Twin XL UL Single<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Design category<\/td><td>C or B*<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">*boat, console, standard seating, table and towpost only<br>**2024 model engine shaft: XL Single XL Twin<br>(<a href=\"https:\/\/www.highfieldboats.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">source<\/a>, data may vary)<br>*<a href=\"https:\/\/ribsonly.com\/2\/does-a-rib-exist-with-ce-a-certification-mine-has-b\/\">discover what this means<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Highfield Sport 900 Details it is not the first time this RIB came to my attention.
