Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Zodiac Cadet Solid 310 2011 vs Zodiac N-ZO 760 2013 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a inflatable non rigid Zodiac Cadet Solid 310 2011 against a deep vee Zodiac N-ZO 760 2013 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.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 300 hp, the Zodiac N-ZO 760 2013 has a 285-hp advantage over the Zodiac Cadet Solid 310 2011's 15-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Zodiac N-ZO 760 2013 is rated for 7 passengers, while the Zodiac Cadet Solid 310 2011 caps at 5. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Zodiac N-ZO 760 2013 could be the deciding factor.
The Zodiac Cadet Solid 310 2011 has a documented top speed of 22 mph. Speed data wasn't available for the other model.
The Zodiac N-ZO 760 2013 is an inflatable design — lighter, easier to store, and quicker to launch from a beach or dock without a slipway. The Zodiac Cadet Solid 310 2011 is a rigid hull, which typically offers a more confident ride in chop and easier maintenance over the long term.
Bottom line: Choose the Zodiac N-ZO 760 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 7 passengers and at 24,9 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Zodiac Cadet Solid 310 2011 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 5 that costs less to run day-to-day.
