Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Zodiac 420 TC4 2009 vs Zodiac Medline II 2011 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a inflatable rigid Zodiac 420 TC4 2009 against a deep vee Zodiac Medline II 2011 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 Medline II 2011 tops out at 150 hp. Engine specs for the Zodiac 420 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 420 TC4 2009 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Zodiac Medline II 2011 caps at 5. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Zodiac 420 TC4 2009 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Zodiac 420 TC4 2009 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 6 passengers and at 13,7 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Zodiac Medline II 2011 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 5 that costs less to run day-to-day.
