Zodiac Cadet RIB ALU 270 Light – 8-Foot 10-Inch Aluminum Hull PVC RIB

Zodiac Cadet RIB ALU 270 Light 8′ 10″ – Portable Rigid Aluminum Tender

Eliminating the compromise between durability and weight, the Zodiac Cadet RIB ALU 270 Light delivers 8′ 10″ of versatile performance at only 82 lbs. This model solves the storage challenges for American cruising families by providing a rigid V-shaped hull that planes quickly and tracks perfectly in wind-whipped harbor conditions. For the USA operator, the 270 Light offers a robust aluminum bottom that can handle the abrasive sand and oyster shells of the Atlantic and Pacific coastlines without the risk of hull damage associated with fiberglass or soft-bottom boats.

Meeting strict USA maritime quality standards, the 270 Light utilizes oversized tubes for increased buoyancy and a drier ride for three passengers plus a child. The reinforced aluminum hull ensures maximum structural integrity while keeping the boat light enough for easy transport and launching from the beach or a swim platform. Capable of handling a 10 HP outboard, this model provides the speed and reliability required for American boaters who use their tender for harbor exploration, fishing, and dependable transport to shore in any USA marina.
