The Tige 20i 2007 vs Tige RZ4 2013 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 Tige RZ4 2013 measures 24,0 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 4,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Tige 20i 2007 at 20,0 feet (2007). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Tige RZ4 2013 tips the scales at 4 485 lbs - 1 017 lbs less than the Tige 20i 2007 at 3 468 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 Tige 20i 2007 carries a rated maximum of 400 hp. Engine data for the Tige RZ4 2013 wasn't available in our records - check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Tige RZ4 2013 carries 48 gallons versus 30 gallons in the Tige 20i 2007. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Tige RZ4 2013 is rated for 17 passengers, while the Tige 20i 2007 caps at 8. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Tige RZ4 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Tige RZ4 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 17 passengers and at 24,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Tige 20i 2007 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 8 that costs less to run day-to-day.
