When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Tige R20 2012 and the Tige RZ2 2010 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?
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Tige RZ2 2010 measures 22,0 feet overall (2010), giving it roughly 20,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Tige R20 2012 at 2,0 feet (2012). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Tige R20 2012 tips the scales at 3 075 lbs — 2 660 lbs more than the Tige RZ2 2010 at 415 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 RZ2 2010 is rated for 14 passengers, while the Tige R20 2012 caps at 6. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Tige RZ2 2010 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Tige RZ2 2010 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 14 passengers and at 22,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Tige R20 2012 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.
