When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Tige 20i 2010 and the Tige RZR 2012 are modified vee designs with fiberglass construction — the buying decision usually comes down to a handful of practical questions: how many people are you putting on the water, how far do you trailer, and what does your tow vehicle weigh?
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Tige 20i 2010 at 2,0 ft versus Tige RZR 2012 at 2,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Tige 20i 2010 tips the scales at 3 268 lbs — 3 237 lbs more than the Tige RZR 2012 at 31 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.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Tige RZR 2012 is rated for 12 passengers, while the Tige 20i 2010 caps at 8. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Tige RZR 2012 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Tige RZR 2012 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 12 passengers and at 2,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Tige 20i 2010 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 8 that costs less to run day-to-day.
