Re: Genmar by Zodiac rib
I'm guessing Genmar contracted with Zodiac for the US market. This one is a 2003 model, and is still sitting at the dealer so demand not great.
Genmar is a America Holding Company that bought the Zodiac Brand name. If there is a label that says "Made in France" it is a older model, from what I understand they are now producing the "Genmar by Zodiac" in China.
Here is a little corporate BLA BLA ...
Thermobonded seams: Thermobonding is a Zodiac? exclusive robotised hot assembly technique for fabric. Much stronger than hand-glued welds, thermobonded seams are air-tight and virtually indestructible.
Traditional wooden floor: The interlocked traditional wooden floor and inflatable keel improves performance and extra buoyancy.
Polyester hull: The lightweight RIMTEC polyester hull is very stable and offers great performance.
Removable inflatable floor: Once inflated, thousands of polyester cross-stitches hold it in place, producing the same rigidity of a traditional floor but lighter and more comfortable.
