I purchased the Zodiac in 2008 for disaster response work during times of flooding however the boat has never been utilized in that capacity. I saw the need for the boat and purchased it, however, I have never actually used the boat in a rescue capacity. I have taken the boat out on a local lake 4 or 5 times a year with a small group performing rescue training and keep it in good working order. Boat fires up after 3 or 4 pulls cold, fires on first or second pull hot every time. I am selling the unit because I never used it for rescue work and tired of it taking up space. I want to see this unit out there doing what it was intended to do, assist during water operations, not sitting in my garage.

If you are looking for a rescue water craft, you will not find a nicer, cleaner unit that has not been beat to death. The only blemish on the entire unit is a nick in the prop housing (see photo). This nick does not affect performance one bit. No vibration or issues from it.

Im asking $19,000.00 OBO for the unit as pictured with the extras listed out.

No trades of any type at this time.

Please email with questions and I also have around 30 photos of the unit, I can email them on request.
