Regarding Zodiac RIB boats. It is possible to change the tubes on the hull.

While the hull has a number on it that tells the date of manufacture, is there a similar number (or code) on the tubes that tells you when the tubes themselves were manufactured?

You could have a boat where the tubes were replaced and there could be a big difference in the age of the hull versus the age of the tubes.

Thanks.

Generally, no data marked on tubes themselves, would need a special "marker" to do so. All tubes are replaceable, not necessarily must be original brand, if well tailored & perfectly hull glued, difficult to see.

Happy Boating
