Hi CSR ,
Just an FYI for those considering a Zodiac Cadet. I just had a wonderful exchange with Stephan, who is the top dog at Defender. Starting in 2015, Zodiac has officially moved their Cadet line to China...no longer France. And even more ****ty...they will now be party glued and partly welded. The France construction was 100% welded. He spoke of the new cadets with minimal enthusiasm. So, for those looking for what truly is a top notch dingy, be sure to buy pre 2015. Defender has some 2013's left.
