Zodiac Mark II HD 2009 vs Zodiac N-ZO 690 2011 — Same Brand, Different Boat

Matching a inflatable non rigid Zodiac Mark II HD 2009 against a deep vee Zodiac N-ZO 690 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 250 hp, the Zodiac N-ZO 690 2011 has a 200-hp advantage over the Zodiac Mark II HD 2009's 50-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 HD 2009 is rated for 7 passengers, while the Zodiac N-ZO 690 2011 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 HD 2009 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Zodiac Mark II HD 2009 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 7 passengers and at 13,4 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Zodiac N-ZO 690 2011 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 5 that costs less to run day-to-day.

Yes — both the Zodiac Mark II HD 2009 and the Zodiac N-ZO 690 2011 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.
