For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Tige R20 2013 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Tige 20V 2005 caps at 1. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Tige R20 2013 could be the deciding factor.

The Tige 20V 2005 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 1 that costs less to run day-to-day.
