ABSTRACT:
A RIB (22), rigid-hull inflatable boat, includes an inflatable tube (24) having a general U shape with a forward end (26) at the bight of the U and trailing sides (28, 30) extending rearwardly therefrom along the legs of the U, and a molded plastic hull (32) within the tube and attached thereto. The hull has a lower surface (42), an upwardly facing deck (44), a transom (38), and a drain (40) through the transom.

Transom construction (120, 122) permits flexure.
