Need help with identification

My Father is interested in purchasing this zodiac boat, can anyone tell me the model? It has an airfloor and is advertised to be 11 feet long max hp 15, I cannot dig any thing up on the net on a 11ft of this style. I think it is a Futura being that it does have speed tubes, but the ad states its 11ft all I can find is a 12ft + futura with 25hp max. Thank you in advance

The current owner said it is a 2002, he has put the boat in storage and does not want to take a picture of the ID plate. So I am unable to obtain the Model number information.

I have catalogues from 2000 and 2004. Its not in either.
2000 has a Futura FR (Fastroller). Has speed tubes and inflatable floor. Smallest one is 11' 6"
Not in red, and not with forward lacing cuff.

Post the "serie" number off capacity plate

With the serie number and the serial number, any Zodiac boat can be identified.

Post that and I can tell you exactly what boat you have.

I'd say it is a 1996 Zodiac Futura MK2C Fastroller

In 1996 Zodiac used the webbing grab handles on top of the tubes for the MK2C Futura FR.

The MK2 and the MK3 had the solid grab rail.

Had to go back thru Zodiac catalogs, but I found it.

Could also be a Fastroller 380, but the webbing on the tubes was only on the MK2C Furura in 1996 (at least from the catalogs I looked thru)

Cheers

If he really want to sell the boat, not too much asked to have owner to inform/photo the serial, various models might have significant differences regarding max hp/transom weight?
