I have a Zodiac Bayrunner 420 (12’ long) with a 60hp Yamaha on it. I love that dinghy, it flies. But a jet dinghy would be cool because I bring my dinghy to sandbars and beached often and it’s definitely stressful worrying about the prop going into too shallow water. With a jet I wouldn’t have to worry about that at all!
@BoatSpecialists5 күн бұрын
That's true! Jet boats are ideal for shallower waters. Though the Bayrunner are also a classic and versatile boat.

If there’s anyone else on the inflation struggle bus here’s some tips. SIDES: valve DOWN/OPEN prior to inserting black inflation adapter. FLOOR/KEEL: valve UP/CLOSED prior to inserting inflation adapter. *Deliberate counterclockwise twist prior to pulling adapter out.

The dealer network is fantastic and as an owner the backing you get from the factory is incredible!

Fuel hungry jets😮
@BoatSpecialists2 ай бұрын
Thanks for the comment, Richard! It is true that outboard motors typically offer better fuel efficiency compared to jet propulsion systems, especially at cruising speeds. However, fuel consumption will vary depending on factors such as engine size, boat weight, propeller type, operating conditions, and intended use. Jet propulsion does offer many pros. For instance, a jet boat can be used in shallow waters, is safer to operate, provides excellent maneuverability, and has a smooth ride. It all depends on what is most important to the boat owner!

When it comes to care of the aluminum or fiberglass hull......is there any major differences/benefits...(especially if the rib will be strictly in saltwater)?
@BoatSpecialists5 ай бұрын
Thanks for the comment! Aluminum is generally resistant to corrosion. However, it's important to match the right cleaning products to the material of your hull. If you plan to keep it sitting in salt water, you may want to consider powder-coating the hull to give additional protection. It bends but doesn't break easily, repairs to aluminum can also be done fairly quickly and easily. They're great, safe boats for rough conditions. Fiberglass is not affected by moisture or the elements and can be left in the water for extended periods without worry of damage. They're also easy to clean, and damages can be handled by a professional with a fiberglass patch.

It's all true. I owned an R-27 and it was a great boat. We used in the ocean, on a lake and towed it anywhere we wanted to go. What a versatile vessel. Everywhere we went, boaters were in awe of our boat. It is a classic style, well built by the best boat manufacturer in the US, Fluid Motion, and will change your life. On top of that, the Boat Specialist folks will be straight with you. I'm not paid by anybody. Just love this boat manufacturer and I had an excellent experience with Boat Specialist. Perfect combination of quality and service! With all the standard features, you will not find a better value. Highly recommend!!

What’s the difference between the Medline, Open, and Pro series? The Zodiac website does not have very useful info.
@BoatSpecialists9 ай бұрын
Great question! Sounds like a new video is in order. A quick way to look at it is the PRO is the most utility versatile setup. Most would use it for more sport like fishing and diving or commercial like purposes. The OPEN is a similar boat to the PRO but with a more family friendly setup with a side console. It comes with more seating and storage but the same great performance of the PRO. The Medline is the ultimate luxury RIB. The most seating and features like tables, fridges, shade options and most importantly a real potty! The Medline is a great day boat that is fast and smooth and will get you to Catalina in no time while very comfortable and looking like a million bucks;

@BoatSpecialists11 ай бұрын
Well depending on what kind of use and load you are going to be having it will determine the performance of a 20HP on there. I think with a light load with proper weight distribution you should be able to get the boat to plane. Definitely enough power to move the boat efficiently but getting up and on plane is borderline!
