Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Zodiac FC 580 2009 vs Zodiac Zoom SP 350 ALU 2013 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Zodiac FC 580 2009 vs Zodiac Zoom SP 350 ALU 2013 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 90 hp, the Zodiac FC 580 2009 has a 70-hp advantage over the Zodiac Zoom SP 350 ALU 2013's 20-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 FC 580 2009 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Zodiac Zoom SP 350 ALU 2013 caps at 5. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Zodiac FC 580 2009 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Zodiac FC 580 2009 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 6 passengers and at 20,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Zodiac Zoom SP 350 ALU 2013 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 5 that costs less to run day-to-day.
