The Highfield Sport 520 is the boat that put Highfield on the map in the American market a purpose-built 17-foot performance RIB that delivers a level of fit, finish, and on-water capability that fiberglass boats in this class simply cannot match. Built on a high-tensile, powder-coated aluminum hull with a 24-degree deadrise and welded lifting strakes, the Sport 520 carves through Narragansett Bay chop with confidence and comes home dry. The ORCA Hypalon tubes in Arctic White are positioned to smooth the ride and add a critical reserve of buoyancy, while the self-draining cockpit, four hydraulic-assist storage compartments, and integrated 27.7-gallon under-deck fuel tank mean this is a boat engineered for a full day on the water not just a trip across the harbor. At 1,138 lbs. boat weight, it trailers easily, launches single-handed, and fits in spaces where a comparable fiberglass boat would not.
This particular Sport 520 is fully optioned for the buyer who wants to get on the water and stay there. Power comes from a Mercury 115HP outboard perfectly matched to the hull's 115HP rating driving through the Sport 520's proven deep-V for a ride that is quick, responsive, and predictable in conditions. The SDS600 console features a carbon fiber dash with space for a flush-mount 9-inch chartplotter, a tall tinted windscreen, and grab rail. Hydraulic steering, an integrated rear seat, rollbar, sundeck, platform with boarding ladder, and built-in fuel tank are all standard on this build. The Silver Series stereo with two XS 6.5-inch cockpit speakers and a pair of Fusion tower speakers on the rollbar means the music follows you whether you are anchored off Sachem Beach or running at speed. Arrives on an EZ Loader trailer with tall uprights and tongue jack ready to launch from any ramp on the Bay.
