Matching a inflatable non rigid Zodiac Cadet Fastroller 325 ACTI-V 2010 against a inflatable rigid Zodiac Pro Open 650 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 Pro Open 650 2011 measures 21,3 feet overall (2011), giving it roughly 10,7 additional feet of deck space compared to the Zodiac Cadet Fastroller 325 ACTI-V 2010 at 10,7 feet (2010). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Zodiac Pro Open 650 2011 tips the scales at 1 477 lbs — 1 389 lbs less than the Zodiac Cadet Fastroller 325 ACTI-V 2010 at 88 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 power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 175 hp, the Zodiac Pro Open 650 2011 has a 165-hp advantage over the Zodiac Cadet Fastroller 325 ACTI-V 2010's 10-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.
Both boats are rated for 5 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.
Bottom line: The Zodiac Pro Open 650 2011 at 21,3 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Zodiac Cadet Fastroller 325 ACTI-V 2010 at 10,7 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.
