Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Zodiac Bayrunner Series 2012 vs Zodiac Pro Open 550 2010 — Which Inflatable Rigid Fits Your Needs?
When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Zodiac Bayrunner Series 2012 and the Zodiac Pro Open 550 2010 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?
The Zodiac Pro Open 550 2010 tops out at 120 hp. Engine specs for the Zodiac Bayrunner Series 2012 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.
Bottom line: The Zodiac Pro Open 550 2010 at 18,1 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Zodiac Bayrunner Series 2012 at 13,8 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.
