The 480SR was originally based on the 550 and is essentially a shortened version with the addition of 50 cm tubes rather than 47 cm tubes fitted to the other craft.

The sponsons are set at an angle to prevent drag and spray over all creating a smooth and soft ride. At slow speeds the craft settles onto the sponsons which afford a high degree of stability.

The 480 is a light easy to handle, launch and recover and is the ideal boat for families who do not require the space or weight of the 550.

Ribs make a versatile platform as safety/rescue boats for diving, transport, fishing, water skiing or just exploring.
