Zodiac Mark II C ST 2009 vs Zodiac Medline II 2008 — Same Brand, Different Boat

Matching a inflatable non rigid Zodiac Mark II C ST 2009 against a inflatable rigid Zodiac Medline II 2008 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 150 hp, the Zodiac Medline II 2008 has a 115-hp advantage over the Zodiac Mark II C ST 2009's 35-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 Mark II C ST 2009 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Zodiac Medline II 2008 caps at 5. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Zodiac Mark II C ST 2009 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Zodiac Mark II C ST 2009 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 6 passengers and at 12,5 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Zodiac Medline II 2008 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 5 that costs less to run day-to-day.

Zodiac Mark II C ST 2009 vs Zodiac Medline II 2008 — Common Questions

Which is the larger boat — the Zodiac Mark II C ST 2009 or the Zodiac Medline II 2008?
The Zodiac Medline II 2008 is the longer of the two at 19,0 feet overall. The Zodiac Mark II C ST 2009 comes in at 12,5 feet, making it roughly 6,5 ft shorter — a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which boat can handle a bigger outboard?
The Zodiac Medline II 2008 is rated to a maximum of 150 hp, giving it the larger power ceiling. The Zodiac Mark II C ST 2009 tops out at 35 hp. Keep in mind that maximum ratings are just that — matching the motor to the actual load and usage pattern usually matters more than chasing the ceiling.
How many people can each boat hold?
The Zodiac Mark II C ST 2009 is Coast Guard rated for 6 passengers, while the Zodiac Medline II 2008 is certified for 5. Note that legal capacity and comfortable capacity aren't always the same thing — on a full day out, most experienced boaters aim for about 80% of the rated number to keep things comfortable.
Are the Zodiac Mark II C ST 2009 and Zodiac Medline II 2008 from the same manufacturer?
Yes — both the Zodiac Mark II C ST 2009 and the Zodiac Medline II 2008 are built by Zodiac. That means shared dealer networks, common parts availability, and consistent build quality across the line. The choice between them is essentially a question of how much boat you need, not which brand you trust.
