Mercury Amanzi

2008 11.5 foot Mercury Amanzi Rigid Hull Inflatable Sport Boat (RIB) with 30 HP Mercury 4-stroke outboard including a brand new Load Rite boat trailer.

Package deal inclusive of boat, motor, and trailer.

Considered one of the high-end dinghies and tenders in her class. Comfortable seating, four integrated lifting eyes, and standard towing eyes, the Amanzi lends itself well to serve aseither a yacht tender or a recreational boat in its own right.

The steering console includes a tachometer, speedometer and a fuel gauge, and also has a cabled steering and throttle linked to the outboard (No stupid tiller!) The most surprising feature of the controls is the electric lift and trim for the outboard, which can come in handy while on plane or at the boat ramp.

Mercury has packed the features and amenities common on larger boats into a compact 11.5 foot package. Beginning aft, a two-person bench seat houses an integrated fuel tank beneath. Just to port of the console and amidships another seat incorporates a self-draining locker that can serve as a cooler or storage locker. A third seat forward also includes a small storage area beneath. The bow sheets provide yet another seating option and a convenient platform for stepping ashore. Mercury wisely placed the battery compartment in a bow locker where the weight can best assist the planing hull. A substantial stainless steel bow rail serves as a handrail for passengers seated forward. Pop-up cleats forward and aft in addition to lifting and towing eyes provide plenty of hard points for secure mooring or towing.

Her tube construction is made of Hypalon with a heavy-duty rub strake all the way around.

Underway, this boat is fun to drive! The hull is designed to ride on the fiberglass hull and not the tubes while on plane, which makes for a smooth ride. Wide open with a 30 hp engine, this boat will travel at an impressive speed of up to 28 knots with two people onboard. (depending upon weight of passengers and calmness of water)

Whether you want to go tubing, cruising, fishing or just want to get ashore from the mother ship, our Mercury Amanzi fits the bill.
