Hi folks,

I have a 10' air floor Zodica dinghy that came with Jasmine, my new boat. I need to replace it because Jasmine will be in charter with a charter outfit that prides itself on having all equipment in excellent condition, and this dinghy is never going to look pretty enough. I have pumped it up and used it and the only issue with it is that the air floor leaks and has been patched a couple of times already.

My question to you all is, what would such a dinghy be worth used? I want to sell it and buy a new one, but I have never had a dinghy before, and do not have any idea what the used values are.

Similarly, I have a Yamaha 3 1/2 horse two-cycle engine that came witha the dinghy. It runs fine. But the charter company only wants 4 cycle motors because charter guests forget to mix oil too frequently. This motor appears to be a 2000 or 2001. What would it be worth used?

Thanks everyone.

If you use a Zodiac cleaner with Hypexine, it will come out looking good as new.
I ripped a hole in my Zodiac last fall. I took it to the local Zodiac dealer and he fixed it for $40.

A used Zodiac is worth at least 50% of a new one, with or without patches. I'd guess yours is worth $500-$650.

2 cycle OB $250.

Sten,

If you would like to pay shipping, the outboard is yours for $250. On the dinghy, I am going to take Stampeder's suggestion and see if I can clean and repair it. It looked hopeless to me, but perhaps it will clean up nice.

Please email me if you would like the motor, and we can work out the details. kevin@catapult.biz.

Thanks,

Kevin

Kevin,
Don't need the motor unless we find another dink. We currently have a Zodiac 10'2" with floorboards, so we are looking for a roll-up as we can only put one dink up on deck. but I'll let you know if we find one soon.

OK. I'll let you know if we decide to sell the dink.
