One of 580 dinghies, tenders and RIBs in the BuyDinghy Australian database, scored against rigid inflatable yacht tenders rather than the market as a whole.
Where this model fits
At 2.90 m, this model sits at the high-demand middle of the rigid inflatable yacht tenders. That helps define the comparison set, but storage, total package weight and local support still decide whether it belongs on a shortlist.
Its published maximum power is 8 hp; confirm the maximum engine weight and shaft length before treating that as an engine recommendation. The published capacity is 4 people, but real usable payload also has to include fuel, equipment and the conditions in which the boat will operate.
Before you request a quote
- Ask the seller to identify the exact LSR-290 model year and included configuration in writing.
- Build a ready-to-use weight from the 44 kg published hull figure and the exact engine and equipment quoted.
- Request the complete delivered price, including unavoidable freight, preparation and registration costs.
- Confirm warranty and parts support for this exact model under Achilles's current Australian arrangement.
Fit scores
Each score is Achilles's editorial score for that job, scaled by how well a 2.90 m hull suits it. A superb manufacturer still makes boats that are wrong for your job — the curve is what says so. How this is calculated.
Estimated ready-to-use weight: about 97 kg
Published hull weight is 44 kg. Our estimate adds a typical four-stroke outboard at maximum rating, a full portable fuel tank, anchor, rode, safety gear and a lifting bridle. It is an estimate, not a specification — but it is far closer to what your davits will carry than the brochure figure. See the full calculation.
