Mantus Dinghy Model 104

Mantus Dinghy is a rotomolded rigid boat, that offers the stability and the convenience of a rigid inflatable but provides a durable, efficient and a low maintenance hull. The boat offers 30% more interior space to a comparable rigid inflatable, thick foam bumpers cushions boat collisions, there is copious storage, its easy to get on plane and rowing this dinghy is fun and easy. Standard offering includes the oars and the seats and the storage bags.
Model 104 is 10.4 feet long and 5.7 feet wide

Love the design of this! Way more durable than rib dinghy. Plus at only 220lbs it is manageable with wheels or back of yacht. Seeing more and more HDPE commercial barges. This would fit my whole family for island hopping and fishing adventures.

Great boat design. It’s the hull shape and storage that does it for me.

I'm a cruiser and currently have a Highfield 360. I love Mantus products, so I'm sure this tender is top notch. One recommendation....more options for wheels. Those wheels are two small for proper beach landings. My current dinghy has wheels that extend down far enough to protect the propeller as you come in to the beach. Also, bigger wheels make it easier to get the dinghy up on the beach.
Interested in viewing all the specs.

The dream boat!! Amazing! I hope you guys can ship it to Europe;)

A US made poly boat is awesome. I was really looking at the Whaly line but would prefer a US made boat. Anywhere near PNW (Portland Or) areas to look at one of these?

So, big thing I noticed, is it took two people to drag it up a beach. Claimed weight is 190lbs: does that include all the accessories shown in the boat? How many years do you expect the plastic to last before it becomes brittle? Rotomolded kayaks certainly dont last long.. 5 years?

Why would you make the sitting surface of a cruising dinghy black? Black plastic/vinyl seats (e.g., outdoor chairs, car seats) reach temperatures of typically 55–75°C (131–167°F) in direct sun exposure.A comfortable surface temperature for sitting is generally between 25°C to 35°C (77°F to 95°F). Here’s a breakdown:
Below 25°C (77°F): May feel cool, especially in the shade or with a breeze. 25–35°C (77–95°F): Comfortable for extended sitting. 36–42°C (96–108°F): Warm but tolerable for short durations.
Above 43°C (109°F): Starts to feel uncomfortably hot. Above 50°C (122°F): Risk of burns after prolonged contact. Above 60°C (140°F): Dangerous, can cause burns in seconds. Typical Temperature of White Vinyl in Sunlight: On a 30°C (86°F) day, white vinyl can reach 35–45°C (95–113°F). On a 40°C (104°F) day, it may reach 45–55°C (113–131°F). I like this dinghy in general and would love it for our boat, but such an oversight of detail makes me think that the makers are not that familiar with cruising life or have not paid enough attention to detail.

Hi will it go into plane with 3 persons and 15 hp engine?

[bikerkiter]

Love the concept and design but looks like the weight increased to 190 Lbs. Was hoping it would be comparable to a Highfield 360. Any opportunity to optimize the roto to get the weight down for us weight sensitive catamaran sailors? This could be a great alternative to and OC and traditional inflatable but the weight is a challenge for this size.

It looks great, but $5800 US?!? You really need to find a way to bring the price down

[morskasvinja]

No why i got a inflatable is that ot fits in my car trunk this is good but for my personal requirements i needed a inflatable again a nice boat

[Cavness]

What’s your estimated payload? I understand you guys are still going through Coast Guard testing.

[SOLDOZER]

Large and heavy. Requires large engine. This is for people with very large boats or Cats.

[cgrovespsyd]

What’s the hull made out of? This seems like a pretty heavy boat compared to or aluminum hulled Highfield.
