ALTHOUGH REPLACED BY THE MEDLINE 500, THERE ARE NUMEROUS MEDLINE I STILL ACTIVES , THIS IS A THOROUGHLY TEST..

ZODIAC MEDLINE II

With 6 length and 2.50 meters wide, this is a semi-rigid of medium size but manageable, thanks to the detachable radar arch can be stored in a garage for winter storage. Highlight the elegant line of floats and deep vee hull. It can be transported with a ATV in flat land inside the port,  being more manageable. 



For the launch is important to have a vehicle that at least 1150 kilos weight since  despite not doing so, we risk ending the car in the water, in this case the Ford Focus 2.0 reaches the weight above, account should also fit the vehicle and put the brakes on the trailer. The pads bands confer an image and a very particular aesthetic. 



Then called attention to the proper distribution of all elements, in this case is installed ski pole, which doubles as the flag mast, bimini awning that is protective and also have been installed in the float itself to avoid friction. The radar arch is installed a radar reflector, GPS receiver, the receiver and VHF radio antenna. Beneath the arch and the back is installed fresh water shower, with your deposit at the bow.

This is the most difficult moments, the boat tries to lift the front of the trailer (and back of the car) due to the weight of the stern and the engine is also important not to submerge the wheel hubs in the water as would be the deactivation of the trailer brake system, it is not too convenient to leave out the tire, since the angle of work would be too high can damage the hull. To prevent slippage of the vehicle, with the rear wheels where the parking brake acts appropriate to introduce a motion. For the front also blocked. 


Navigating the passage leading smoothness and stability of waves that give their floats, also maintains a remarkably stable course, needing only small corrections. The engine is so quiet that allows talking while driving. A real treat for long-distance sailing and for his comfort. The Medline II always seems to be asking more power and more distance.


Thanks to heavy guard around the perimeter of the vessel, is this well protected from scratches, in this case we have added two more in the stern protectors to prevent scratches from other ships in its docking port. The engine size due to its content appears in a lower power. Possible aft placement of a bench for the installation of an auxiliary engine.


It has many chests to store everything you need for safety and for comfort. In particular bow has three chests in all self-emptying. Under the front seat with combustible.auxiliar making.

Medium load conditions, ie 3 people, 50 liters of fresh water and 120 liters of fuel with the Suzuki 140 hp 4 t were obtained almost 40 knots 39.3 knots specifically measured in the built-in GPS mapping and featuring probe. The engine is the ability to truly outstanding acceleration and smooth ride. Consumption is the strong point of this engine at 3,500 rpm as not to exceed 15 liters per hour which gives autonomy given a huge 220 liters fuel tank capacity. Zodiac Pack provides the boat with this engine in a significant savings over what would be the purchase of boat and motor separately. 


In the back you have access to a small winery that this compartmentalized. Fit perfectly to the skis in the lateral compartment.


The Medline II very stable when stationary, making it ideal for long days at anchor, taking the sun on the two large solariums that form and taking baths in the sea, which has an aft folding ladder series and also you can install a fresh water shower. The awning also allows great siesta  after meals. 4-stroke engine also ensures the absence of smoke and oil in the water.

Because of its length the boat requires a minimum that the owner is in possession of the title of "Titulin". The boat is registered in category C but approval for its inclusion in the B. The security that gives the float makes it ideal for the fun I also have all the guarantees necessary for peace of mind that everything ends well.

Insist on the qualities of Suzuki 140 hp engine is a milestone in design and performance, leaving the competition to another level. Only in this engine weight is almost forty kilos lighter than the equivalent of 130 hp from its competition, besides being much more compact. It is so quiet that sometimes you have to come to hear the sound and check it is running, plus the planned warning system makes it really easy maintenance. No doubt Suzuki has a high standard with this engine, plus the combination with the Medline II is on a team whose results are visible, definitely a winning team.

In the control panel there is enough space to install all the necessary electronics. In this case the indicator trim and engine RPM. probe display, GPS plotter, horn button switches, shower, bilge, navigation lights, VHF equipment, a stereo with CD and a 12 volts. The console also features a large interior space easily accessible stowage

Fuera del agua destaca la V profunda que asegura confort de marcha.

Having owned the following Zodiacs: Zoom 310 Mariner 4 hp, Mark IIc 3.80 Yamaha 25 hp, Futura FR Medline IIcYamaha 25 HP Honda 50 hp I believe that in the Medline II is achieved a remarkable balance reaching the limit what is a significant scale embarcion comfortable at sea and road transport and the possibility of back into the garage, making it very cheap to maintain and ensure its longevity, as in my case can use all year round, just to do a bit of sun to get her out of the garage and be sailing in 20 minutes.

The aesthetics of the boat certainly makes it very attractive, the touch of radar arch also allows the installation of various elements. The Medline II is ideal for families wishing to spend long hours at sea or excursions of a certain size, because the ride comfort is very high even with sea formed. The driver's seat bolster type is to be lifted allowing to guide his feet but with support. The float is completely removable allowing for maintenance or replacement without too many complications.

In the middle you can store all the safety equipment. The cover is completely self-draining which can face the sea in poor condition with confidence. It also has electric bilge pump.

If you want an easy hassle-free boat maintenance, transportation, security and performance with low cost of operation Medline II with 140 hp Suzuki 4-stroke is certainly your choice.

The next model in the series, the Medline III by its size and radar arch precludes their classic garage storage, forcing his anchor in port or conventional winterization, which is impractical, as a new feature offering the inclusion of a small size cabinet.
