Zodiac 220 R 2009 vs Zodiac Cadet Roll Up 240 2010 — Same Brand, Different Boat

Matching a inflatable rigid Zodiac 220 R 2009 against a inflatable non rigid Zodiac Cadet Roll Up 240 2010 means you're likely deciding between two genuinely different on-water experiences. Hull type shapes everything from ride quality and fuel burn to dock handling and resale trajectory.

Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 4 hp for the Zodiac 220 R 2009 and 4 hp for the Zodiac Cadet Roll Up 240 2010. Real-world performance will come down more to which motor is actually bolted on, its load at the time, and whether it's a 4-stroke or 2-stroke setup.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Zodiac Cadet Roll Up 240 2010 is rated for 3 passengers, while the Zodiac 220 R 2009 caps at 2. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Zodiac Cadet Roll Up 240 2010 could be the deciding factor.

The Zodiac Cadet Roll Up 240 2010 has a documented top speed of 7 mph. Speed data wasn't available for the other model.

Bottom line: Choose the Zodiac Cadet Roll Up 240 2010 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 3 passengers and at 7,9 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Zodiac 220 R 2009 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 2 that costs less to run day-to-day.
