The Zodiac ProJet 350 TC4 2011 vs Zodiac Zoom 310 SR 2006 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.

Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Zodiac ProJet 350 TC4 2011 measures 11,5 feet overall (2011), giving it roughly 10,5 additional feet of deck space compared to the Zodiac Zoom 310 SR 2006 at 1,0 feet (2006). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Zodiac ProJet 350 TC4 2011 tips the scales at 661 lbs — 568 lbs more than the Zodiac Zoom 310 SR 2006 at 93 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 98 hp, the Zodiac ProJet 350 TC4 2011 has a 90-hp advantage over the Zodiac Zoom 310 SR 2006's 8-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.

Both boats are rated for 4 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.

At this size, power-to-weight ratio matters more than outright horsepower. The Zodiac ProJet 350 TC4 2011 comes in at 7 lbs per hp versus 12 lbs per hp for the Zodiac Zoom 310 SR 2006. The lower the ratio the more explosive the acceleration — meaningful on a short RIB where bursts of speed, quick planing, and agility in surf or tight waterways define the experience.

The Zodiac ProJet 350 TC4 2011 has a documented top speed of 44 mph. Speed data wasn't available for the other model.
