[PSUBS-MAILIST] New Asset - Zodiac Cadet 390 Tender

[Douglas Suhr via Personal_Submersibles]

Not as ordered, but a center console / helm can be added. I decided to keep
it simple with tiller control for the purpose of keeping it light and
portable (by taking the motor off and putting the boat on the roof of the
car, etc.) Also, not having a console frees up more interior space for
crew, dive gear, comms equipment or what-have-you. Weight capacity is
stated at 1400 lbs so it should be a hard worker for a 12-foot boat. Will
be happy to bring her along! ~ Doug
