[PSUBS-MAILIST] New Asset - Zodiac Cadet 390 Tender

Tue Oct 26 01:08:27 EDT 2021

Hey Douglas, When I bought my sailboat, it came with a 10' inflatable with
a hard bottom and a 19 horse two stroke outboard motor on it and it seemed
like way more power than I needed. I think you could of water skied behind
it. Have you checked all the places around you that would sell OB's as I
bought one here on the big island and it was a year end close out so got a
real good price on a new one. Wondering if you need a 25 HP?
