TJ Boats SB45 - 4.50m Motor boat

TJ Boats SBX Series motorboats combine HDPE technology with RIB (rigid inflatable boat) construction. This allows to eliminate the main drawback of rigid inflatable boats, namely their susceptibility to punctures and damage, and to retain the excellent nautical properties of such structures. If you consider motorboating as something more than a way to move from point A to point B, then TJ Boats SBX Series boats made for challenges are designed for you. Despite their compact size, it offers fantastic nautical capabilities. The steering is predictable and their manoeuvring ability is excellent. The boats widely customisable, with a choice of hull lengths and features. A boat cn be designed to client’s specific requirements if none of the existing versions suits its needs. The modular construction of the boat means that you can add parts and accessories to it even after it is constructed and delivered.

HDPE technology

HDPE stands for high density polyethylene. This material is lighter than water. It can be formed and machined, and HDPE elements can be welded together. The material is resistant to oxidizers such as sulphuric acid, nitric acid and other agents. It is also physiologically neutral. HDPE is fully recyclable. Its mechanical strength is very good. It is resistant to biological growth and ultraviolet radiation (when black in colour). All this makes HDPE the ideal material for motorboats and other aquatic solutions.

Rescue boats and more

Water rescue operations, firefighters, border protection guards, police, military operations, water patrol, offshore fish farms, offshore wind farms, offshore oil platforms, crew transportation, technical maintenance of offshore structures, harbor service, pilot boats, fishing, diving, toursim and recreation (wakeboards, speedboat cruising).

Advantages of HDPE polyethylene

It is flexible and conforms to different shapes and structures easily, and it has a smooth surface that can even be waterproofed. It is also very economical, requires little energy or no energy to fabricate, and has a long lifespan. Additionally, HDPE has excellent water-barrier qualities, making it ideal for water tanks, containments, and other waterproof material needs. The advantages of HDPE technology are: buoyant, resistant to impact and corrosion, resistant to temperature change, resistant to chemical, does not overgrow with algae, resistant to UV radiation, 100% recyclable after remelting. The following types of resistance are higher than aluminum, much higher than fiberglass: impact resistance, wear resistance, UV radiation, puncture resistance. It's chemical resistsance is similar to aluminum, but it's much easier to repair and it is much lighter.

Advantages of the boat

Sturdy structure
Unsinkable: the tubes are separated into the watertight compartments
Safe to use: many anti-slip surfaces made of high quality material, plus handgrips
Designed in compliance with Directive 2013/53/UE
High mechanical resistance: the boat can moor on a rocky shore, operate in shallow waters or in flooded areas
Durable
Ready to be used in rough condition
Almost maintenance-free: no painting or hull cleaning rquired
High stiffness of the tubes ensure the stability of the boat in water
Seaworthy, fast planning hull
High directional stability
Easy and quick repairs (e.g. no drying time)

Environmentally friendly

Environmentally friendly boats, almost all parts are recyclable. Very low carbon footprint.
