Trent,

Welcome to Iboats.

How about a bit of info about your Zodiac?

(size, model, weight, etc...)

Cheers,

Snow

Snow,

I got my zodiac from a green barret, so I do not know the make or model. All i know is that the special forces used it. It is 11'6" long and 5'6" wide. It's pretty light, two people could cary it easily.

Thanks,

Trent

Is there a coast guard rating plate in it?

By the size alone I wouldn't go with less than 15hp, a 25hp would probably be a safe all around match for it.....

Cheers,

Snow.

around my area motors are cheap. The boats are expensive.

I bought a sweetheart, 1 owner 20HP Evinrude shortshaft tiller...a beautiful motor for $250...

I wish i could find an inflatable for less than 10 times that $ to mount it on...
