When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Zodiac Cadet Fastroller 360 ACTI-V INT-L 2011 and the Zodiac Cadet Roll Up 240 2009 are inflatable non rigid designs with inflatable 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?
Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 15 hp for the Zodiac Cadet Fastroller 360 ACTI-V INT-L 2011 and 4 hp for the Zodiac Cadet Roll Up 240 2009. Real-world performance will come down more to which motor is actually bolted on, its load at the time, and whether it's a 4-stroke or 2-stroke setup.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Zodiac Cadet Fastroller 360 ACTI-V INT-L 2011 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Zodiac Cadet Roll Up 240 2009 caps at 3. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Zodiac Cadet Fastroller 360 ACTI-V INT-L 2011 could be the deciding factor.
The Zodiac Cadet Fastroller 360 ACTI-V INT-L 2011 has a documented top speed of 26 mph. Speed data wasn't available for the other model.
Bottom line: Choose the Zodiac Cadet Fastroller 360 ACTI-V INT-L 2011 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 6 passengers and at 11,8 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Zodiac Cadet Roll Up 240 2009 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 3 that costs less to run day-to-day.
