It WAS a fiberglass hull. Was involved in a car accident after a boat trip. Boat got written off.

Zodiac Hurricane 733 repower

I have a Zodiac Hurricane 733 with a blown motor. Need to look at options.
The inboard, that used to go quite well, dropped a valve. The piston then hit the valve. The Volvo Penta dealer wants $18k...

Two Zodiac Hurricanes

Me and a friend each have a zodiac Hurricane 733. Yesterday we went for a ride to Williamstown, Melbourne. See the Sea Shephers with another 2 zodiacs on its deck. Just a good day out.

I was thinking of putting a pod on, then add a Saltwater series II Yamaha 2 stroke 200HP. They seem like a robust motor.
Getting rid of the inboard would open up the under deck space for plenty of...

Near idea and the pod can also serve as a platform to get onto when entering the boat when diving.
I think this is a sensible option and consider the same for my boat.

I am faced with the exact situation you are describing.
A pod makes sense as this removes the cables from the deck and the transom does not have to be cut.
It may be a possibility to build the...

Got a plastic tarp first but this is no good. Then got a canvas type and it works great. The tarp is 9m x 4m, so enough overhang. There are eyelets so I...

In-hull transducer

On my boat there's a box for an in-hill transducer. The boat was bought with no transducer in the box, so the navy must have removed it when the boat was decommissioned.
I now want to install a...

Zodiac pontoon numbers

I have a Zodiac 733 and suspect the pontoons are newer than the boat. The hull is 2003 but the pontoon has these numbers on it. Any ideas what these mean - see the photos.

Cheers

The standard spec for the floor is to not have a stringer in place. This allows for some flex in the floor.

Also, the valve seems to be seated into the material. Is there a way to unscrew it or does it have to be cut out and replaced.

Thanks in advance.

This is a plastic valve. I cant see any place to take it off. Seems as if its sealed to the hypalon fabric.

Is there perhaps a thread or guidance on how to replace the neoprene gasket.

Thanks
