Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Zodiac Mark II FR 2009 vs Zodiac Zoom SP 350 ALU 2013 — A Close Look at Two Inflatable Non Rigids
When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Zodiac Mark II FR 2009 and the Zodiac Zoom SP 350 ALU 2013 are inflatable non rigid designs with inflatable construction — the buying decision usually comes down to a handful of practical questions: how many people are you putting on the water, how far do you trailer, and what does your tow vehicle weigh?
Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 30 hp for the Zodiac Mark II FR 2009 and 20 hp for the Zodiac Zoom SP 350 ALU 2013. Real-world performance will come down more to which motor is actually bolted on, its load at the time, and whether it's a 4-stroke or 2-stroke setup.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Zodiac Mark II FR 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 Mark II FR 2009 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Zodiac Mark II FR 2009 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 6 passengers and at 13,4 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.
