Just found one of these at a boat flea market for a great price. I has almost no patches and looks like it was hardly used. I think it is at least 10 yrs old, maybe older (ser.# 1064)? It was built in France and is the old style with pointed ends. We have never had an inflatable before so any info or suggestions would be much appreciated.

We had a 285 and went up to a 310. We love it. We run a 10 HP on it and planes fast with 2 of us. Can plane with 3 if about 150 lbs. We use it for diving in the Bahamas. Great tender.

How do you inflate it, electric or manual?

We have a foot pump that we use. Our 285 had a 2 stage foot pump as the floor is high pressure. You can go.to the Zodiac web site and order one. There is a pressure gauge that we use with the foot pump.

We have the 285 with a 4hp and it works great.
very happy although if I had to buy the outboard again I would go larger
