The largest of the Zodiac Yachtline Deluxe inflatables, the 490 is the big boy. We rig these with Yamaha F90’s or F70’s, which sound like race car engines when revved. The 490 has the deep “V” and the stern seat is moved forward a bit to support the motor and assist with planing. This boat can be expected to reach 40-45 mph on the top end, depending on conditions. The boat has a large fuel tank of 22.5 gallons, giving you a full day of play. The 490 also has many options available from the factory like a fresh water shower and picnic table, as well as synthetic teak decking and a bathing ladder.
