Old Zodiac. I will try to save!

I just grabbed this zodiac c285 off of a local guy for a decent price ($129). I was told that it manufactured in 1978 so it pretty old. Came with a pair of oars in brand new condition, foot pump, some its and bits plastic pieces etc. He explained that the bottom is seperating from the tubes and he bought all the materials to make the repair but no longer interested, so long story short i took possession of all that stuff. i understand that it s going to be a time consuming work with no guarantee in the end but still, it may serve to me.
One thing i would like to ask is that he was very certain that it is a hypolon boat and therefore the glue he bought is made for hypolon. I thought this boats are all PVC and required glue which would work on the pvc. So once i find out, i will gather the equipment, pick a right day, do the prep work and go for it.

Hi, post some pics. If it is 1978, its definitely hypalon, which is a good thing. There are many boats of that vintage still going strong.
