Overview

Introducing two new mid-sized runabouts from Tahoe: the 500 TS stern drive and its outboard counterpart, the 550 TS. Both models measure 19 feet 10 inches in length, which is five inches longer than their predecessors.

Steering systems differ between models: the 500 TS offers power steering, while the 550 TS comes standard with hydraulic steering, ensuring precise control on the water.

Exterior Design and Features

Both boats showcase a fresh upholstery concept featuring a sporty three-color diamond stitch pattern that coordinates with the hull's accent colors, creating a cohesive and stylish appearance. The layout includes adjustable swivel seats for the helm and passenger, plush lounges in the bow and cockpit areas, and an inviting aft sun deck designed for sunbathers. Non-skid flooring throughout the bow, cockpit, and swim platforms provides secure footing, with single or dual swim platforms depending on the model.

Interior Amenities and Storage

The captain's console is outfitted with a comprehensive set of illuminated automotive-style analog gauges and a sporty steering wheel. The color-matched passenger console houses a four-speaker AM-FM Bluetooth-compatible stereo system with an MP3 port, alongside a lockable storage compartment for small items. Storage solutions are thoughtfully integrated, including insulated drain storage compartments in the bow that double as coolers, under-seat cockpit storage featuring a removable 36-quart cooler, side compartments, and a large ventilated storage area beneath the cockpit floor designed to accommodate skis or kneeboards.

Trailer and Mobility

Both the 500 TS and 550 TS come with factory-fit, color-matched trailers equipped with GalvaShield corrosion protection and super lube hubs. The trailers feature a space-saving swing-away tongue, making towing and storage convenient and efficient.
