My eight year old 11' Zodiac Rib is coming unglued from from the hull. it has detached itself from the transom, the chine, and completely from the bow. The tanks seams are welded so no problem on the welded seams.
when I called the repair center in Alameda Ca I was told this is to be expected with a plastic boat. He said I was lucky to get this much life out of a Zodiac.
I had a 10 Zodiac rib for more than ten years, gave it away because the fabric was starting to show threads on the surface, it was giving away again and as far as I know its still out there in use.
The fabric on this boat is stained but looks like its in good shape. This boat has set on deck under a Sunbrella cover most of its life. The boat hasn't been pounded rough conditions or over powered. The glue is sticking to the fiberglass hull but failing on the polypropylene hull fabric.
Anybody else having issues with a Zodiac rib?
