The Highfield Classic 340 is the entry point into Highfield's most enduring and proven product line a no-nonsense, double aluminum hull RIB built for the boater who values durability, simplicity, and real on-water performance over flash. At 11 feet 2 inches, it is a genuinely capable coastal and harbor boat not a toy, not a tender, but a proper RIB that can handle the chop of Narragansett Bay, carry a full complement of four passengers and gear, and do it all without asking for much in return. The double aluminum hull construction delivers a rigidity and strength that single-hull inflatables simply cannot match, and the ORCA Hypalon tubes in Neptune Grey are built to outlast the competition impervious to UV, salt, fuel, and abrasion in a way that PVC tubes are not. There is no gelcoat to crack, no fiberglass to repair, no wood to rot. Beach it, dock it hard, trailer it every weekend the Classic 340 will not show it.
This build arrives fully rigged and completely ready to launch. Power comes from a Yamaha 25HP outboard one of the most reliable and widely serviced engines in the marine industry, and an ideal match for the Classic 340's size and weight. The FCT8 console provides a clean, functional helm with a steering wheel and cable system, bow locker for storage, bow cushion, and bow step for easy boarding. Dark grey EVA foam flooring and dark grey cushions give the boat a sharp, cohesive look that wears well in New England conditions. An EZ Loader trailer with slider bracket, bow chain, and tongue jack means this boat is road-ready the day it arrives. For the sailor looking for a proper RIB to run crew ashore, the family that wants a capable inshore boat, or anyone who simply wants a well-built.
