Matching a inflatable non rigid Zodiac 285 ACTI-V 2009 against a inflatable rigid Zodiac 350 TC4 2009 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.
The Zodiac 285 ACTI-V 2009 carries a rated maximum of 8 hp. Engine data for the Zodiac 350 TC4 2009 wasn't available in our records — check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.
Both boats are rated for 4 passengers — a good fit for a family of four or five plus guests. Comfort at capacity is another matter; the longer hull typically means more seat options and better weight distribution.
Bottom line: The Zodiac 350 TC4 2009 at 11,4 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Zodiac 285 ACTI-V 2009 at 9,3 ft wins on trailering ease, likely lower purchase price, and simpler docking — a solid choice for a buyer who wants more boat for less money.
