The Williams TurboJet 285 LP is the low-profile version of the TurboJet 285 jet tender, intended for yachts with restricted storage height. It measures 2.90 m long and 1.70 m wide, with an overall LP height of 89 cm. A 90 hp BRP Rotax ACE 903 petrol engine powers the tender, which has seating for 3 + 1 persons.

What LP means

LP stands for Low Profile. Storage height is the key selection point: Williams lists 89 cm normally and 76 cm with the steering wheel removed. The 76 cm figure requires the appropriate removable wheel and describes the storage arrangement rather than the tender's operating height.

Typical fitment is on yachts from 12 to 16 m long. Check the garage opening or platform dimensions, supports, lifting arrangement and clearance for launching before ordering. The yacht-length recommendation does not guarantee compatibility with every vessel.

Engine, speed and weight

Jet propulsion avoids an exposed propeller. The stated maximum speed is up to 74 km/h, and fuel capacity is 40 litres. Maximum speed varies with load, equipment and water conditions; tank capacity is not a distance-range figure.

The current Williams specification lists a dry weight of 315 kg. Fuel, belongings and selected accessories add to the lifting load. Dry weight should not be treated as the weight of a fully equipped and fuelled tender.

Layout and standard features

A swivel backrest on the helm seat allows the cockpit space to be used differently. The standard-feature list includes removable vinyl upholstery, a Hypalon tube with grab handles, SeaDek decking, a BRP multifunction display and single-lever throttle and shift control.

An engine flushing point, automatic fire extinguisher and four lifting pad-eyes are also listed. Follow the manufacturer's handbook and the approved onboard lifting arrangement for operation, maintenance and handling.

Options and choosing the version

A chartplotter, depth sounder, VHF radio, Fusion audio system, retractable bathing ladder and lighting are listed separately as accessories. A quick-release wheel also needs to be included when agreeing the configuration. Price, finishes and delivery timing are confirmed for the individual order.

Compare the TurboJet 285 LP with the standard TurboJet 285 primarily against the yacht's storage-height constraints. LP is a separate low-profile version; the standard 285 listing does not replace a check of the LP dimensions.
