Hi this is Gary from the north of England just thought id let you all know what I use my 4.2 zodiac for. Living in England we have plenty of coastline to explore and that is what we do, load the boat up with fuel,camping gear,food,water and beer and **** off for a week round the remote Scottish islands, the boat is light enough to land on small remote beaches yet sturdy enough to withstand the Scottish climate, stable in a force6 fully loaded with 25hp motor. Here ia a link to a video i made .http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7sg3x1bTIc
