I'm thinking about selling my 12 foot aluminum row boat and trailor, keeping the Evenrude engine and buying a Zodiac. Can't dive from the row boat but think I could from a Zodiac. If I'm careful I think I could fish from it too.
Any opinions? Do they have to be always inflated or can they be uninflated for transport and between uses? Any other considerations that I should know about?
Depending on the size, many just trailer them for convenience. They make really small, lightweight trailers for them. Most of them have multi cell construction so even though it would be REALLY hard to puncture the tubes with a fishhook, doing so wouldn't guarantee a sinking.
They may be a bit more bouncy if you go fast, and some have fiberglass V shell bottoms, others have just a thin rubber bottom with articulating wood floor boards.
Been in them a number of times and all were for diving! No problem what so ever once you master the entry and exits ;) Nice boats!
