When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Tige 20V 2008 and the Tige RZR 2011 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 20V 2008 at 2,0 ft versus Tige RZR 2011 at 2,0 ft. At 3 478 lbs and 3 489 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class — either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.
The Tige 20V 2008 carries a rated maximum of 400 hp. Engine data for the Tige RZR 2011 wasn't available in our records — check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Tige RZR 2011 carries 38 gallons versus 3 gallons in the Tige 20V 2008. 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 RZR 2011 is rated for 12 passengers, while the Tige 20V 2008 caps at 9. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Tige RZR 2011 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Tige RZR 2011 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 20V 2008 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 9 that costs less to run day-to-day.
