Wanted WANTED. Aluminium floor for zodiac futura mkIII.

Deggsy · 20 April 2022, 03:21

I’m looking for an aluminium deck for my 2010 Zodiac Futura Mk III. The boat currently has the fast roller air deck but as I trailer the boat anyway I’d rather have a solid deck.
I’d be happy to part-ex the fast roller for an Ali deck if required, no repairs and hold air perfectly.
I’m in deeside, north wales but happy to travel.
May consider selling the whole setup for the right offer.

Great deal . Whoever gets this is lucky.

Suspect you will wait forever for an offer. HD (aluminium) floors stay with the boats, unless the tubes or seams go. You go buy direct from Zodiac, but you’d be on a saline drip and sedatives after they told you the price. In addition to the floor you’d need the stringers too. Personally I’d look to sell and just buy one with an aluminium floor. Anyway good luck with your search.

I realise it’s a long shot, I just thought if someone is scrapping one they may have a spare floor. I did contact the uk dealers and was told they aren’t interchangeable, which is the opposite of everything else ive read and been told.
I thought I’d ask just in case, if I do sell it I’ll be getting a fibreglass boat instead.

I don’t get what you mean.

If you look hard enough, think outside the box and get really creative ... you'll find find there are a lot of scrap Zodiacs out there .

If floorboards don't fit , there are ways to modify them.

I have an aluminum floor for a 14' achilles, zodiac, aquos. This is the wide beam model. The front 2 panels are marine plywood and have been painted. Looks like I am going to junk my SIB. I also have the stringers. I am in the US so you have shipping to contend with. Let's see if we can work something out.

Check out page 4 of this PDF. These are the part numbers for the HD floor. Stringers will vary in length too, depending on models. You need 1225mm versions.

Thanks for the offer. It may be worth having a look at depending on how much you want for it and the shipping costs.
