There is very little information online.

It looks like this model of Zodiac boat was manufactured 25-30 years ago.

Have a look here; http://www.ribstore.co.uk/cms-assets/documents/88367-437874.how-to-identify-your-zodiac-inflatable to help you decipher your capacity plate.

Your Hull Identification Number;
