Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Zodiac Mark II FR 2009 vs Zodiac N-ZO 680 2013 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a inflatable non rigid Zodiac Mark II FR 2009 against a deep vee Zodiac N-ZO 680 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 200 hp, the Zodiac N-ZO 680 2013 has a 170-hp advantage over the Zodiac Mark II FR 2009's 30-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 680 2013 is rated for 14 passengers, while the Zodiac Mark II FR 2009 caps at 6. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Zodiac N-ZO 680 2013 could be the deciding factor.
The Zodiac N-ZO 680 2013 is an inflatable design — lighter, easier to store, and quicker to launch from a beach or dock without a slipway. The Zodiac Mark II FR 2009 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 680 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 14 passengers and at 22,3 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Zodiac Mark II FR 2009 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.
