Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
AB Inflatables F 28 2010 vs AB-Inflatables Alumina 11 ALX 2013 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The AB Inflatables F 28 2010 vs AB-Inflatables Alumina 11 ALX 2013 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The AB Inflatables F 28 2010 measures 28,0 feet overall (2010), giving it roughly 16,4 additional feet of deck space compared to the AB-Inflatables Alumina 11 ALX 2013 at 11,6 feet (2013). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the AB Inflatables F 28 2010 tips the scales at 4 647 lbs — 4 363 lbs more than the AB-Inflatables Alumina 11 ALX 2013 at 284 lbs. That difference is meaningful if you're working within a half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck's tow rating, especially once you factor in a motor, gear, and fuel.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 250 hp, the AB Inflatables F 28 2010 has a 225-hp advantage over the AB-Inflatables Alumina 11 ALX 2013's 25-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The AB Inflatables F 28 2010 is rated for 25 passengers, while the AB-Inflatables Alumina 11 ALX 2013 caps at 3. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the AB Inflatables F 28 2010 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the AB Inflatables F 28 2010 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 25 passengers and at 28,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The AB-Inflatables Alumina 11 ALX 2013 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 3 that costs less to run day-to-day.
