One of 580 dinghies, tenders and RIBs in the BuyDinghy Australian database, scored against inflatable catamaran tenders rather than the market as a whole.
Where this model fits
At 4.00 m, this model sits at the larger end of the inflatable catamaran 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 20 hp; confirm the maximum engine weight and shaft length before treating that as an engine recommendation. Passenger capacity is not recorded here; ask for the current capacity plate or manufacturer documentation rather than relying on an advertisement.
Before you request a quote
- Ask the seller to identify the exact Discovery 400 model year and included configuration in writing.
- Build a ready-to-use weight from the 45 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 True Kit's current Australian arrangement.
Fit scores
Each score is True Kit's editorial score for that job, scaled by how well a 4.00 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 139 kg
Published hull weight is 45 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.
