Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Zodiac 310 R 2009 vs Zodiac ProJet 350 TC4 2011 — A Close Look at Two Inflatable Rigids
When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Zodiac 310 R 2009 and the Zodiac ProJet 350 TC4 2011 are inflatable rigid designs with inflatable construction — the buying decision usually comes down to a handful of practical questions: how many people are you putting on the water, how far do you trailer, and what does your tow vehicle weigh?
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 98 hp, the Zodiac ProJet 350 TC4 2011 has a 83-hp advantage over the Zodiac 310 R 2009's 15-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.
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.
The Zodiac ProJet 350 TC4 2011 has a documented top speed of 44 mph. Speed data wasn't available for the other model.
Bottom line: Performance buyers should lean toward the Zodiac ProJet 350 TC4 2011 and its 98-hp ceiling. If fuel economy and quieter running matter more than top-end speed, the Zodiac 310 R 2009 with its 15-hp rating is the more economical daily driver.
