Matching a inflatable rigid Zodiac Bayrunner Pro Series 2011 against a inflatable non rigid Zodiac Cadet Roll Up 260 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 2011 measures 13,8 feet overall (2011), giving it roughly 5,3 additional feet of deck space compared to the Zodiac Cadet Roll Up 260 2011 at 8,5 feet (2011). At 82 lbs and 73 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 Roll Up 260 2011 tops out at 4 hp. Engine specs for the Zodiac Bayrunner Pro Series 2011 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.
Both boats are rated for 4 passengers — a good fit for a family of four or five plus guests. Comfort at capacity is another matter; the longer hull typically means more seat options and better weight distribution.
The Zodiac Cadet Roll Up 260 2011 has a documented top speed of 7 mph. Speed data wasn't available for the other model.
Bottom line: The Zodiac Bayrunner Pro Series 2011 at 13,8 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Zodiac Cadet Roll Up 260 2011 at 8,5 ft wins on trailering ease, likely lower purchase price, and simpler docking — a solid choice for a buyer who wants more boat for less money.
