Now that I own a company and that sales these boats ... I was thinking and wondering why we never got to use these boats on nice days in warm water! The Marine Corps ALWAYS waited for the shittiest NIGHTS to splash these boats. OOH-RA good times!

Because these are MilSpec they retail new for $19000 or so. Thats just for the boat no outboard. This one is a 1998 and will sale for a few thousand dollars.

Re: STA, 0321s, Boat Co Marines and SEALS
If I may ask, where are your deck plates? IS that a big bladder covering them or do you have them out? Its been a while since Ive played in a zode, but I remember aluminum deck plates. (And I remember a zode popping them busting surf and losing its lunch.)
Anyways what kind of outboard do you have running that rig? Prop or Jet?

This boat is outfitted with the roll up floor. 80s and 90s boats had this floor system. Later on the USMC FORCE, STA and BN Recon upgraded to the hard deck floors. They are nice and give the boat a much more rigid feel but you have to assemble and disassemble them every time you are ready to use them. The roll up floor is nice because It allows the boat to be rolled up and stowed in its bag without disassembly. The floor you see in the picture is floor you get there is no bladder involved. That is aluminum covered in hypalon with "D" rings glued on. YOU OLD SCHOOL HARD CHARGERS PROBABLY REMEBER THESE FLOORS. The newer boats are outfitted with a full 4 peice aluminum hard deck and stringers that keep the floor in. I have and use both types. This particular boat is outfitted with a 30hp Johnson Submersible with a Dura-jet propulsion system. But many of our other boats have larger outboards and varioius deck systems some even have seats and steering. I will attach a few more pictures of what we do here in case anyone is intersted in seeing the Zodiacs evolution.

Re: STA, 0321s, Boat Co Marines and SEALS
Ah thank you for the lessons, I was busting surf in early 2000 - 2003 (just before OIF) and I remember helping the coxswains putting in the deck plates and stringers. (I was an assault climber so I missed the Coronado course and had to kind of fall in on the whole boat thing.) I was a helo guy originally and had the whole be oneman, which I remember being the best time this side of assaulting an objective.

Holy bad memories batman!
One of our Engine Mechs picked up an F470 with trailer and outboard for IIRC $750.00 from DRMO and spent a lot of time fixing it up back in the day.
