Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Zodiac 650 2009 vs Zodiac ProJet 350 TC4 2011 — Which Inflatable Rigid Fits Your Needs?
When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Zodiac 650 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 175 hp, the Zodiac 650 2009 has a 77-hp advantage over the Zodiac ProJet 350 TC4 2011's 98-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Zodiac 650 2009 is rated for 13 passengers, while the Zodiac ProJet 350 TC4 2011 caps at 4. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Zodiac 650 2009 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Zodiac 650 2009 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 13 passengers and at 21,3 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Zodiac ProJet 350 TC4 2011 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 4 that costs less to run day-to-day.
