Matching a inflatable non rigid Zodiac Cadet Fastroller 325 ACTI-V 2010 against a inflatable rigid Zodiac Yachtline Deluxe 380 DL 2010 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.

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Zodiac Cadet Fastroller 325 ACTI-V 2010 at 10,7 ft versus Zodiac Yachtline Deluxe 380 DL 2010 at 12,5 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Zodiac Yachtline Deluxe 380 DL 2010 tips the scales at 481 lbs — 393 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 50 hp, the Zodiac Yachtline Deluxe 380 DL 2010 has a 40-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.

At this size, power-to-weight ratio matters more than outright horsepower. The Zodiac Cadet Fastroller 325 ACTI-V 2010 comes in at 9 lbs per hp versus 10 lbs per hp for the Zodiac Yachtline Deluxe 380 DL 2010. The lower the ratio the more explosive the acceleration — meaningful on a short RIB where bursts of speed, quick planing, and agility in surf or tight waterways define the experience.

Top speed is rated at 34 mph for the Zodiac Yachtline Deluxe 380 DL 2010 and 23 mph for the Zodiac Cadet Fastroller 325 ACTI-V 2010.
