For Sale 1990 Zodiac Hurricane 733 - World Circumnavigator!

HOLY COW!

I just saw this on eBay. I don't know anything about it, and am not affiliated in any way to the seller, etc etc.

Ad says that in 1994 this boat circumnavigated the world. That's some serious history that you would be buying.

Serious project. it looks like it would probably need, uh, well, everything. Tubes would probably have to be replaced.

What would you do for drive train? I think a couple of outboards, and get rid of the i/o setup.

What do you think this is worth right now?

i'm still bidding.

over 3k now.

anybody have any idea what it's worth?

I bid $3500 as that's what the arch costs from Zodiac, but the reserve has not been met. Would be willing to go a little higher but not much as I don't need anything else. But if someone buys it, and wants to sell me the arch count me in.

If you google Sunrider expedition you can get a history of the boat, and the story behind it from I think it is Biodiesel magazine. I got lucky enough to see it up close during his voyage when he stopped by our area.
I have no idea what it looks like today but it was an amazing boat back then.

yep, done some Googling.

pretty impressive.

still wondering how much of an investment would be needed to get it back in the water?

zip · 11 October 2011, 20:13

over $10K now, but reserve still not met.

zip · 12 October 2011, 09:03

Over $15k, but still haven't hit the magic number yet.

zip · 13 October 2011, 19:43

Bidding over, and it didn't hit reserve at $20,055.00.
Kind of curious what owner wants to sell this boat for.
