BOAT TOUR: Zodiac Medline 6.8 - an affordable family RIB

Join the PBR team along with Ben Allen of EP Barrus to give you an insight into the latest RIB from Zodiac. The Medline 6.8 was on display at Southampton Boat Show and we got the opportunity to walkthrough this boat, making its UK debut at the show.
This video is brought to you by Powerboat & RIB Magazine.

My dad bought a used 4 meter zodiac in the early 2000s and we had it for 15 years and then he sold it to a friend. Never any problems with tubes, no leaks or tearing, and we never babied it. For winter storage just wash and enough pressure to keep shape and under tarp over winter. It was a great fishing boat in shallow water. I will buy a zodiac too one day.

And did the fishing hook pierce the pontoon? No, even though we teens goofed around back then.

Saw Medline last year at Cannes, very attractive RIB.

Funny that your channel name is abbreviated PBR. In US Navy slang, PBR means Patrol Boat River and they're small boats designed to do quick duty work along busy waterways. This is why it was featured so prominently in "Apocalypse Now."

How many years can I expect out of a zodiac like this?

[@Nick_G7IZR]

Define "affordable". There was no mention of it's price....

[@fatherofmonsterhunter4531]

Right I guess it’s free affordable I’ll take one

[@largol33t1]

I researched prices and found them mostly around $55-85,000 for used ones and up to $100,000 for new ones. Affordable? Only if you're making over $150,000 a year and have little debt, LMAO...
