Did the zodiac ribs (yachtline not cadet) come with neoprene option for the bottom of the pontoons?

I saw one locally, and it looks like it was done at manufacture. I think its a yl380r, well i know its a yl r.

I have the same boat a yl380r and it doesn't seen to have any different fabric on the bottom of the tubes.

How well does yours go in a bit of swell sailit?

Yeah I think it must have been an optional extra.

It handles fairly well is a swell. Ive haven't had it out in that much but what I have had it out in, it stays pretty dry and you can stay at a decent speed. what year is the one you are buying I know they changed the hull design slightly in the later years? I have a 1994 one and they changed in 1997.

Its a 2007, i just noticed its a 340, so a foot less. it does have the 45cm pontoons though. i wish it was the newer one with a hatch up the front.

11' should be ok inshore? 1-2km maximum from land?
