Zodiac Cadet

This is a wonderful little boat well suited for use in salt and freshwater. Inflates quickly with an electric pump (included with buy it now) or you can use a foot pump. Internal rigid bench provides a stable place for the skipper to sit while operating the motor. Room for several adults plus gear. The V-hull shape makes for sharp and precise handling even in large swells or high wind. Boat is stable even with several adults on board. Engine is a Yamaha 8HP outboard. Motor runs great in salt or freshwater. Previous owner reports never having any issues with it. Motor mount features a three position trim to set the prop angle to affect plane speed or to adjust for shallow waters. Motor comes with a 5 gallon gas tank with pressure relief, hand priming pump and fuel gauge. Auction also includes a dry dock motor mount (not pictured). This allows the motor to be safely run when apart from the boat on dry dock for cleaning, maintenance or purging of salt water. Mount has wheels to easily move motor around. Also installed, as seen in photos, is a set of retractable wheels. These allow the craft to be easily pulled by one operator on shore in and out of dry dock. Wheels are spring loaded to quickly retract once the craft is waterborne. They are heavy duty and extremely rugged for moving the craft with motor mounted and full of gear. This is absolutely necessary for those without a trailer. This boat has many wonderful years of reliable service ahead. It's the nicest skiff we've seen in a very long time. We reserve the right to end auction early as item is also listed for sale locally. Feel free to ask any questions. Shipping is not available for this item. Must be picked up in person in Westchester County, NY.
