Research 2015 - Zodiac Boats - Cadet 260 Areo

~Cadet 260 Aero

Compact and easy to stow in a cockpit locker, the CADET holds its own against bigger models. Its progressive-diameter buoyancy-tube provides improved stability. Cadet's have an outstanding lifespan and guarantee a high level of safety for their owners. The therm o-banding assembly technique ensures a perfectly smooth join between buoyancy tube and base.

Choose your floor from an extensive range: the Aero models are comfortable and light thanks to the H2P inflatable floor. The high-performance plywood-floor Solid series models have an inflatable keel enabling them to plane rapidly and improving maneuverability. Fitting the slatted floor in the Roll Up series simply involves inflating the buoyancy tubes; stowage is just a matter of folding it into its carrying bag, no need to remove the slats.
Beam: 5 ft. 3 in.
