Zodiac Pro Open
Caught this nice Zodiac launching today.
Zodiac Pro with Suzi 140 on the back.Nice little wheelhouse for protection and open deck which would make a great dive boat.
Brought down from Los Angeles area for a commercial film shoot by the boat dealers Maurer Marine. (Zodiac/Avon )
cheers Dal

Have to agree
Meant functional in regards to some protection for driver and equipment but, yes , looks like crap as far as aesthetics are concerned.Remove the Tardis; stick a nice jockey console& A frame and you would have a decent boat.

Bloody Hell!! It's got a kiosk on it!! I'll have a 99 please, and a strawberry mivvy for the missus.

I'm sure that the guy in the last pick is taking a piss. Perhaps that explains just what the added apendage actually is.

I have to say, I think it works. I don't generally like the rather square shape of Zodiacs, and I don't think this does anything against it....
