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 RZ4 2009 is rated for 17 passengers, while the Tige 22V 2007 caps at 14. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Tige RZ4 2009 could be the deciding factor.

The Tige 22V 2007 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 14 that costs less to run day-to-day.
