Zodiac Bayrunner Pro Series 2010 vs Zodiac Medline IV 2011 — Same Brand, Different Boat

Matching a inflatable rigid Zodiac Bayrunner Pro Series 2010 against a deep vee Zodiac Medline IV 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 Medline IV 2011 measures 27,9 feet overall (2011), giving it roughly 14,2 additional feet of deck space compared to the Zodiac Bayrunner Pro Series 2010 at 13,8 feet (2010). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Zodiac Medline IV 2011 tips the scales at 3 527 lbs — 3 445 lbs less than the Zodiac Bayrunner Pro Series 2010 at 82 lbs. That difference is meaningful if you're working within a half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck's tow rating, especially once you factor in a motor, gear, and fuel.

The Zodiac Medline IV 2011 tops out at 350 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 Medline IV 2011 is rated for 8 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 Medline IV 2011 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Zodiac Medline IV 2011 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 8 passengers and at 27,9 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.

Zodiac Bayrunner Pro Series 2010 vs Zodiac Medline IV 2011 — Common Questions

Which is the larger boat — the Zodiac Bayrunner Pro Series 2010 or the Zodiac Medline IV 2011?
The Zodiac Medline IV 2011 is the longer of the two at 27,9 feet overall. The Zodiac Bayrunner Pro Series 2010 comes in at 13,8 feet, making it roughly 14,2 ft shorter — a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer — the Zodiac Bayrunner Pro Series 2010 or the Zodiac Medline IV 2011?
For trailering, the Zodiac Bayrunner Pro Series 2010 has the edge at 82 lbs dry weight versus 3 527 lbs for the Zodiac Medline IV 2011. Add a motor (typically 300–500 lbs for an outboard in this class), gear, and a partial fuel load and the difference grows. Lighter is friendlier on smaller tow vehicles and on fuel economy while hauling.
What is the maximum horsepower rating for these boats?
The Zodiac Medline IV 2011 has a documented max rating of 350 hp. Engine specifications for the Zodiac Bayrunner Pro Series 2010 were not available in our database — check the OEM spec sheet or manufacturer's website for confirmation.
How many people can each boat hold?
The Zodiac Bayrunner Pro Series 2010 is Coast Guard rated for 4 passengers, while the Zodiac Medline IV 2011 is certified for 8. Note that legal capacity and comfortable capacity aren't always the same thing — on a full day out, most experienced boaters aim for about 80% of the rated number to keep things comfortable.
Which boat is wider, and does it affect trailering?
The Zodiac Medline IV 2011 measures 118" wide, compared to 73" for the Zodiac Bayrunner Pro Series 2010. The US standard-width towing limit is 8’6" (102") in most states — anything over that may need a wide-load permit. Confirm your specific route requirements with each state's DOT.
Are the Zodiac Bayrunner Pro Series 2010 and Zodiac Medline IV 2011 from the same manufacturer?
Yes — both the Zodiac Bayrunner Pro Series 2010 and the Zodiac Medline IV 2011 are built by Zodiac. That means shared dealer networks, common parts availability, and consistent build quality across the line. The choice between them is essentially a question of how much boat you need, not which brand you trust.
