Zodiac boat - PVC or Hypalon?

[drivewaybeer]

Hello,
I recently bought a Zodiac boat from 1990 but it's has a small leak which I want to try and repair. The problem is I can't tell if it's PVC or Hypalon so I can attempt the repair.

The hull is # CFZ6595KK000 and the CF number is CF 6595 KP. I'm wondering if you can tell me if it is Hypalon or PVC or how I can look it up. thank you.

PVC and HYPALON difference, normally can check from outside appearance and touch directly. Do not have some thing relative to the hull.
PVC Relatively rough
HYPALON feels very soft

I think it looks like a Zodiac F470.

Few give-aways, multiple D rings for lashing down kit, covers over the inflation points, built in bags/pouches. D rings on the bow for bridle towing, etc. My guess is hypalon as basically commercial grade.

Get in touch with your local Zodiac dealer, plenty to choose from state-side given you have the serial number: https://www.zodiac-nautic.com/en/dealers/

Not sure what Grace is on about difference between PVC and Hypalon. If it was PVC, I doubt this sib would only have a small leak, especially if it's been stored outdoors since the 90s.

RIBnet uses private messaging if you want - rather than personal email addresses. I'm sure admin team will pick up on that.
