Boaters, Check Expiration Dates On Your Equipment!

Checking expiration dates on key boating safety equipment is critical as you head back out on the water this year. While it's important to check expiration dates because its the law, ultimately doing this quick check is critical for the safety of you and your guests. For example, pyrotechnic flares expire 42 months after date of manufacture and have an expiration date stamped on them. Fire extinguishers now must be replaced at least every 12 years. And even automatic inflatable life jacket bobbins need to replaced regularly.

This 2004 Zodiac Hurricane inflatable with a jet drive is an exceptional vessel for exploring the rugged and remote wilderness of British Columbia. Built with military-grade durability, its heavy-duty Hypalon tubes and rigid hull offer strength, buoyancy, and safety even in unpredictable coastal or river conditions. The compact design allows easy trailering and launching from remote beaches, forest access points, or shallow tidal creeks that larger boats can’t reach. The jet drive propulsion delivers outstanding maneuverability and safety in shallow or debris-filled waters such as estuaries, glacial rivers, and inlet backchannels. Without an exposed propeller, it can glide over submerged logs or rocky shoals that define much of BC’s wild coastline and freshwater systems. This makes it ideal for wilderness photographers, anglers, or adventurers seeking hidden coves and untouched terrain. Lightweight yet incredibly stable, the Zodiac handles swells and chop efficiently, while its fast planing performance reduces travel time between remote anchorages. The simple, low-draft setup also requires minimal maintenance compared to traditional boats. Whether navigating the misty fjords of the North Coast, the salmon-rich rivers of Haida Gwaii, or the serene stillness of Desolation Sound, the 2004 Zodiac Hurricane jet offers unmatched versatility and confidence in Canada’s wild waters. The pontoons have recently been serviced in 2022, with new VHF, AIS, chart plotter and radar in 2022 as well. Boat also includes a triple access trailer.
