Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Zodiac Mark II ST 2009 vs Zodiac Pro Classic 420 2013 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a inflatable non rigid Zodiac Mark II ST 2009 against a deep vee Zodiac Pro Classic 420 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.
Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 40 hp for the Zodiac Mark II ST 2009 and 50 hp for the Zodiac Pro Classic 420 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.
Both boats are rated for 7 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.
The Zodiac Pro Classic 420 2013 has a documented top speed of 37 mph. Speed data wasn't available for the other model.
The Zodiac Pro Classic 420 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 ST 2009 is a rigid hull, which typically offers a more confident ride in chop and easier maintenance over the long term.
Bottom line: The Zodiac Mark II ST 2009 and Zodiac Pro Classic 420 2013 are closely matched on the specs that matter most. Test-ride both on the water you actually use, check current dealer pricing, and factor in long-term service access before you sign.
