Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Zodiac 350 TC4 2009 vs Zodiac Cadet Solid 340 2012 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a inflatable rigid Zodiac 350 TC4 2009 against a inflatable non rigid Zodiac Cadet Solid 340 2012 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 Cadet Solid 340 2012 tops out at 20 hp. Engine specs for the Zodiac 350 TC4 2009 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Zodiac Cadet Solid 340 2012 is rated for 5 passengers, while the Zodiac 350 TC4 2009 caps at 4. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Zodiac Cadet Solid 340 2012 could be the deciding factor.
The Zodiac Cadet Solid 340 2012 has a documented top speed of 28 mph. Speed data wasn't available for the other model.
The Zodiac Cadet Solid 340 2012 is an inflatable design — lighter, easier to store, and quicker to launch from a beach or dock without a slipway. The Zodiac 350 TC4 2009 is a rigid hull, which typically offers a more confident ride in chop and easier maintenance over the long term.
Bottom line: Choose the Zodiac Cadet Solid 340 2012 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 5 passengers and at 11,2 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Zodiac 350 TC4 2009 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 4 that costs less to run day-to-day.
