Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Zodiac 690 2009 vs Zodiac N-ZO 690 2011 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a inflatable rigid Zodiac 690 2009 against a deep vee Zodiac N-ZO 690 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.
Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 250 hp for the Zodiac 690 2009 and 250 hp for the Zodiac N-ZO 690 2011. Real-world performance will come down more to which motor is actually bolted on, its load at the time, and whether it's a 4-stroke or 2-stroke setup.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Zodiac 690 2009 is rated for 12 passengers, while the Zodiac N-ZO 690 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 690 2009 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Zodiac 690 2009 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 12 passengers and at 22,9 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Zodiac N-ZO 690 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.
