When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Zodiac Bayrunner Series 2012 and the Zodiac Commando C4 2012 are inflatable rigid designs with fiberglass 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?
