Willard Marine is proud to be the only American manufacturer of SOLAS rescue boats. Our 490 SOLAS is designed and built to meet all United States Coast Guard standards required for this type of Safety Of Life At Sea vessel, featuring a fiberglass, deep-v hull for maximum stability and non-skid deck. The multi-chamber, 40-ounce polyurethane tube is exceptionally strong, puncture resistant, UV-coated and provides buoyancy and reduced vessel weight for maximum performance, fuel economy and safety at sea. Both our tiller and side console models are outfitted with a self-righting system and three-point lifting sling.
