2002 Protector Targa 28ft RIB — Twin-Engine Performance with Trailer Included
A rare opportunity to acquire a 28-foot Protector Targa RIB — a serious offshore-capable rigid inflatable from one of the segment's respected builders — offered by a private seller in South Haven, Michigan at $50,000 OBO. This is a ready-to-use package complete with a twin-axle galvanized trailer fitted with new tires.
Powered by twin Yamaha 150hp outboards (300hp combined) with 1,686 logged hours, this Targa delivers the kind of twin-outboard reliability and redundancy that offshore and Great Lakes boaters demand. Yamaha's four-stroke outboard platform is widely regarded for long service life and strong parts availability, making this a practical choice for buyers who want dependable power without the uncertainty of a single-engine setup.
The Hypalon tube construction is a hallmark of quality in the RIB segment — Hypalon (CSM) is the premium tube material known for superior UV resistance, chemical resistance, and long-term durability compared to PVC alternatives. On a 2002 boat, well-maintained Hypalon tubes can remain serviceable for decades, making this a compelling value proposition for the price.
Navigation and electronics are covered by a Garmin/Raymarine GPS and electronics suite, plus a Clarion VHF radio — giving the next owner a functional helm setup for coastal and offshore use right out of the gate.
KEY FEATURES:
- Twin Yamaha 150hp Outboards (300hp Combined, 1,686 Hours) — Twin-outboard configurations provide redundancy and confidence on open water. Yamaha's outboard platform is one of the most widely supported in the industry, with broad dealer networks and strong resale value.
-
- Hypalon Tube Construction — Hypalon is the premium tube material in the RIB segment, prized for its resistance to UV degradation, fuel, and ozone. On a well-maintained RIB, Hypalon tubes can outlast the hull itself, making this a key quality indicator for used-RIB buyers.
-
- Twin-Axle Galvanized Trailer with New Tires — Included in the asking price, the trailer adds immediate practical value. A twin-axle galvanized trailer is the correct spec for a 28ft RIB, providing stable load distribution and corrosion resistance for saltwater or freshwater launching environments.
