Constructed with a 2.5 mm powder-coated aluminum V-shaped hull, the Zodiac Cadet RIB ALU 270 Light Z11301 is a 2.73 m, or 8 ft 10 in, ultra-light single-hull rigid inflatable boat. Its single aluminum deck includes anti-slip pads, while Strongan 1200 PVC fabric uses Thermobonding high-frequency welded seams for the three buoyancy tubes. The listed net weight is 43 kg, or 95 lb, which should be included in lifting and transport planning.
Maximum ISO capacity is four persons, and the boat has a maximum payload rating of 430 kg, or 948 lb. A 15-inch short-shaft outboard is required, with 6 HP recommended, 10 HP maximum, and 42 kg, or 93 lb, maximum engine weight. Zodiac semi-recessed flush valves are specified, and the boat carries a CE Category C designation for inshore and coastal conditions.
