| The Zodiac Futura Commando
(FC) |
| |
| Battle tested
Well known throughout the world as the definitive Special Forces
boat, it is used by more elite soldiers and sailors than any other
craft worldwide. It is the only craft of its type that has actually
been used in combat in different theatres and comes thru with flying
colors. This is a result of its unique patented hull shape and various
floor systems that allows it to carry combatants in a variety of
missions. The hull shape is especially important as it can get a
large load on the plane as well as give the driver unsurpassed manoeuvrability
in different and often dangerous conditions. Continually being updated
for its ever-changing roles, the FC range is Zodiac's most recognizable
military boat.
