Zodiac MK2 C Futura S Inflatable Boat with Yamaha 40HP Outboard engine. I purchased this boat second-hand about 10-years ago and had great fun with it on both inland waterways and coastal waters. I have towed my children behind it on water skis and inflatable toys. Sadly, it is time to move it on as it is now surplus to my requirements and I need the storage space. It is over 20-years old though (1999 model) so it is not perfect and does have wear and tear.
The tubes have two patches (See pictures). One that I have replaced as the old one was peeling. This was originally done before I bought it. The second on the underside was down to me when some wake bounced me off a rock. I repaired this and the boat holds good pressure although does need to be topped up regularly.
I have discovered some other small air leaks which have probably been there for some time. The boat spends most of the time folded up in a storage container. When using the boat, I invariably top up the pressure daily anyway which has worked well for me. This is a fun little boat and has plenty of life left in it yet for the right owner. In preparation for the sale, I have replaced several components to ensure it can be used by the new owner including new steering helm and steering cable.
The boat is currently in its built state to assist with viewing but can easily be packed down in about 30-40 mins. The advantage of these boats is they can be transported either in the built state on a boat trailer (not included) or can be packed down. The boat has the patented Futura hull. It is a large diameter keel with two buoyancy tubes that run the length of the hull. When underway, the hull rests solely on the cushioning tubes reducing drag and increasing lift.
This provides outstandingly easy handling. The steering and seating positions are also adjustable. Boat3.8m (12.5ft) LongFull professional transom repair (7-years ago)Two patches in the tubes.
