Cataraft
RRB 120 Dibboats

The Rapid Response is a lightweight, portable, inflatable pontoon boat that is used by rescue squads, fire departments, and police as an emergency carry-in craft for situations where access to water is physically limited. Constructed from rugged vulcanized neoprene coated fabric, the Rapid Response stores in a compact (28" by 18" by 14") carrying case. Using the nylon lifting handles, this 90 lb boat can be easily carried to the water's edge and inflated within a few minutes using a single bottle of compressed air (80 cu. ft) such as a Scott Pack or SCUBA bottle. Built-in pressure relief valves guard against over-inflation.

The Rapid Response can be paddled like a canoe (by crew of 1 to 4) or it can be propelled by a 1O hp outboard motor mounted on a strap-in transom. The elevated rubber floor has 4 built-in foot stirrups to provide more secure seating for passengers and crew. The Rapid Response is self bailing to help rescuers concentrate on their primary mission.
