Such an epic concept. You can literally pack a small boat in the trunk of your car. Perfect for someone that doesn’t want to pay for boat storage. The Fore Runner rides super nice and is very comfortable for a small boat. My buddy and I took the 290 outside the harbor and it handled SO well in the chop. 5 stars.

At first, when seeing the Fore Runner folded, I couldn’t believe how big it was when fully inflated. This is no “blow up raft”. It’s a serious offshore beast that feels confident in lots of conditions. I have a blast taking it into the open ocean

WHAT IS A
FORE RUNNER?

A UNIQUELY FOLDING INFLATABLE RIB...

The Fore Runner has a ﬁberglass hull, not a wimpy inﬂatable ﬂoor. It is suited as well for rescue services as for harbor cruises, it unfolds and deploys in minutes and can be trusted in offshore waters. To handle the rigors of open water, it has double-welded seams (never glued) and uses a robust German material which contains a mold and UV inhibitor for a long life.

The re-engineered hull has pronounced strakes to help grip the water and cut down chop. This ain’t just a cute, little inﬂatable boat but can handle those duties with aplomb. Because the sun can negatively affect any inﬂatable boat over time, the folding hull allows you to fold and stow this boat in minutes thereby extending its life. With a host of accessories for any activity, you can take the Fore Runner from a simple dinghy to an all-out adventure machine.
