Page 20: Description
8.1 Characterization Your River 460 is the basic version of the River 460 boat model. It is suitable for anyone looking for an entry model into the world of motor boats. It is a great model for those who are looking for a solution as a vessel to be rented out, for those who are looking for a work boat, or a boat for fish farms or marinas. -
Page 21: Construction
It is fully moulded with a tight cavity which gives the boat very good buoyancy. RIVER 460 is designed with wide step/speed-rails and wide shine in the hull, which gives the boat good planning properties, very good stability, and safe driving characteristics. Holes in polyethylene plastic are difficult to close as ordinary adhesive systems do not adhere over time. - Page 22 River 460 – Owner’s manual CAUTION According the Convention on the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGs) and national laws the boat leader has to make sure to have always an unrestricted view. The adherence to these regulations is indispensable.
