Matching a inflatable rigid Zodiac Bayrunner Pro Series 2010 against a inflatable non rigid Zodiac Cadet Solid 310 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.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Zodiac Bayrunner Pro Series 2010 measures 13,8 feet overall (2010), giving it roughly 3,6 additional feet of deck space compared to the Zodiac Cadet Solid 310 2011 at 10,2 feet (2011). At 82 lbs and 93 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class — either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.
The Zodiac Cadet Solid 310 2011 tops out at 15 hp. Engine specs for the Zodiac Bayrunner Pro Series 2010 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 310 2011 is rated for 5 passengers, while the Zodiac Bayrunner Pro Series 2010 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 310 2011 could be the deciding factor.
The Zodiac Cadet Solid 310 2011 has a documented top speed of 22 mph. Speed data wasn't available for the other model.
Bottom line: Choose the Zodiac Cadet Solid 310 2011 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 5 passengers and at 10,2 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Zodiac Bayrunner Pro Series 2010 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 4 that costs less to run day-to-day.
