Zodiac 340 Dinghy

[gotfw]

Zodiac Yachtline 340 Dinghy
Now that we have sold our Mainship 390 the time has come to sell our Zodiac.
The Zodiac is an 1998 11 foot Hypalon RIB that was retubed at Legendary Marine in Destin in 2016 with a 6 month wait for shipment from France. It has been under covered storage with a boat cover since the tubes were replaced and indoor storage the last 4 years.
It has a bench seat, console with steering wheel and cushions. The vessel is equipped with a Lowrance 2 inch in dash Depth Finder, Garmin 421 GPS with map chart, and a Bluetooth Stereo with 2 speakers
It is powered with a 25 Horsepower Johnson with trim and tilt.
There is an 8 gallon built in gas tank with a dash gauge. Full navigation lights are built in. It is on a Galvanized single axle trailer with plastic bunk slides and lights on the Boat Guides.
Both boat and trailer are registered and stored in South Louisiana.
While cruising we enjoyed exploring anchorages and were able to do so in comfort. No more numbness from sitting on a tube, using tiller steering.
We towed it everywhere we went without any issues.
On Sale for $6,500

Zodiac weight

I have been asked the weight of the Dinghy. Factory specs are 441 lbs with a 15 hp engine. I would guess around 500 with a 25

Hi. I have 1996 Hurricane Zodiac 420 DL 14' . The tubes are in very good shape but the rail has detached. Trying to decide if they can be re glued or do I need to order new tube. Interested in your experience with the 6 month wait. Thanks for any info. GOod luck selling yours. Great fun boat.

I had the tubes replaced at Legendary Marine in Destin. They gave me a bid, ordered tubes, and 6 months later honored the bid. Well worth the cost.

Hi. Inflatable looks great. Still for sale? If yes I’m interested.

Thanks,
Dennis

I’m pretty sure that the weight of the YL340 is 440 pounds, dry.

Add in a motor, battery, fuel and you have a 750 pound skiff.

I have a YL340 and like it, but I would caution to check your lifting capabilities prior to buying one.

BTW I bought my Hapalon replacement tubes from Defender. Took all of an hour for two of us to get the old ones off and the new ones on.

The earlier Zodiac Yachtline RIBS were lighter before they redesigned the sterns of the boats.
Our Zodiac YL380 weighed less than #750 loaded and that was with a 40Hp ptt Yamaha outboard.
We boated with folks that had the 25 HP Yamaha on the earlier style YL 340's and it weighed much less than our 380.
Our YL 380 loaded on boat deck....

The YL series of Zodiacs were all changed significantly somewhere in the 2002-2005 range and they beacme much heavier. If they have the pointed rear tubes and wide lower glass hulls they are early models like yours - if they have the rounded end rubes and smaller glass lower hulls they are the later modles which weigh more. I checked with a friend that has a 1999 Zodiac YL340 and he has these numbers for his weights when lifting:
376# - complete boat dry with no engine
126# - his 1999 Yamaha 25 hp 4 stroke
45# - approx batt (G24)
45# - approx fuel (8g)
Approx 590 - 600# when lifting
Hope this helps

Hi Jim, did you already sell? Now I’m in Florida (I’m from Brazil), and I want to buy your dinghy

I had a Zodiac Pro RIB. Ordered new tubes for it and it took about 6 months to get them from France. Seemed to be a typical delivery time period according to the dealer I ordered them from. I paid for them when I ordered them, so there was no change in the price when they were delivered.
