Among the many tenders debuting at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show this week is a light and compact tender from AB Inflatables. Equipped with the standard 20hp four-stroke Tohatsu engine, it weighs just 425 pounds. However, the new 10 VSX is no lightweight when it comes to equipment and performance. Equipment includes Orca CSM fabric, LED navigation lights, bilge pump, stainless steel steering wheel and grab handle, plus stowage in a bow locker, plus four stainless-steel davit lifting points. A console tender, based on the design of AB’s open Navigo 10 VS, the tender offers a dry ride and seating for four adults. Speed varies according to load, of course, from 19 to as much as 27 mph, or a top speed of 30 mph with the upgraded engine package.
