Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Zodiac N-ZO 760 2013 vs Zodiac Pro Open 650 2012 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a deep vee Zodiac N-ZO 760 2013 against a inflatable rigid Zodiac Pro Open 650 2012 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 300 hp, the Zodiac N-ZO 760 2013 has a 125-hp advantage over the Zodiac Pro Open 650 2012's 175-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 760 2013 is rated for 7 passengers, while the Zodiac Pro Open 650 2012 caps at 5. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Zodiac N-ZO 760 2013 could be the deciding factor.
The Zodiac Pro Open 650 2012 has a documented top speed of 48 mph. Speed data wasn't available for the other model.
Both are inflatable designs, which means they pack down for compact storage, can be carried in a bag, and are dramatically lighter than equivalent rigid hulls. The trade-off is setup time and the need to monitor tube pressure regularly. Tube diameter differs: 2 ft. 2 in. (0.65 m) on the Zodiac N-ZO 760 2013 vs 1 ft. 11 in. (0.575 m) on the Zodiac Pro Open 650 2012 — larger tubes generally mean more buoyancy and a drier, more stable ride.
Bottom line: Choose the Zodiac N-ZO 760 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 7 passengers and at 24,9 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Zodiac Pro Open 650 2012 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 5 that costs less to run day-to-day.
