Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Zodiac N-ZO 690 2010 vs Zodiac Zoom SP 350 ALU 2013 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a deep vee Zodiac N-ZO 690 2010 against a inflatable non rigid Zodiac Zoom SP 350 ALU 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.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Zodiac N-ZO 690 2010 measures 22,9 feet overall (2010), giving it roughly 11,4 additional feet of deck space compared to the Zodiac Zoom SP 350 ALU 2013 at 11,5 feet (2013). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Zodiac N-ZO 690 2010 tips the scales at 333 lbs — 190 lbs more than the Zodiac Zoom SP 350 ALU 2013 at 143 lbs. That difference is meaningful if you're working within a half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck's tow rating, especially once you factor in a motor, gear, and fuel.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 250 hp, the Zodiac N-ZO 690 2010 has a 230-hp advantage over the Zodiac Zoom SP 350 ALU 2013's 20-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.
Both boats are rated for 5 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.
Bottom line: The Zodiac N-ZO 690 2010 at 22,9 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Zodiac Zoom SP 350 ALU 2013 at 11,5 ft wins on trailering ease, likely lower purchase price, and simpler docking — a solid choice for a buyer who wants more boat for less money.
