Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Zodiac Mark I HD 2009 vs Zodiac Pro Open 650 2011 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a inflatable non rigid Zodiac Mark I HD 2009 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.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 175 hp, the Zodiac Pro Open 650 2011 has a 150-hp advantage over the Zodiac Mark I HD 2009's 25-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 Mark I HD 2009 at 11,5 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.
