I found a Zodiac Pro II 470 for a reasonable price. It comes with a 40hp Yamaha 4-stroke.
The hull is a '98, the motor is a '06 and the tubes are (will be) new (PVC). This boat is also having the console and seat replaced. Since it is all being replaced, I would have the option of changing the console and seating arrangement to my liking (within reason).
As far as I can tell, the Pro II series hull is closed unit. There is no under floor bilge like a Yachtline boat. What ever water gets in will slosh around your feet and not drain away. Is this correct?
Anyone have any experience with this type of boat? Is the 40hp engine sufficient for this boat (mostly just 2 reasonable size adults riding)?
This boat will mostly be used inshore and inland waters, but there can be some fairly large boats running in the same area.
Thanks.
