The most important time you spend is family time. Quiet chats and the sounds of the morning. Catching fish? It would be nice, but it's not necessary. And when you're ready for some high-speed fun, your TAHOE 500 TF is eager to thrill at a moment's notice.
Fishing features include 2 fold-down removable fishing seats, a foot-controlled Minn Kota trolling motor, an aerated livewell, a trolling battery and charger. Fun features include an integral ski tow ring, a huge sun deck, and plush, durable lounges in the bow.
All this, housed in a longer and wider POWERGLIDE hull with reverse chines and HYDROSTEP strakes to give you the smoothest, driest ride and the best wakes you've ever seen.
And it all rides on a custom-fit, factory-matched, single-axle drive-on trailer with color-matched powder-coat finish and GALVASHIELD corrosion protection so your TAHOE will ride just as smoothly off the water as on.

Tahoe 500 TF: BoatTEST Review
Overview
The all-new Tahoe 500 TF Stern Drive and its counterpart, the Tahoe 550 TF Outboard, are mid-size ski-fish models designed to accommodate families and crews comfortably. These boats feature longer, wider, and deeper hulls compared to their predecessors, measuring nearly 20 feet in length and offering ample space for up to eight passengers. They are engineered to serve dual purposes, catering both to water sports enthusiasts and anglers with their versatile design.
Exterior Design and Deck Features
Both models present a modern aesthetic highlighted by an all-new upholstery design featuring a three-color diamond stitch pattern that coordinates with the hull's accent color. The bow seating, helm and passenger buckets, full-width aft bench seat with a removable cooler beneath, and a plush sun pad all carry this cohesive design theme. The boats also include two movable fishing seats that are color-matched to the interior. For anglers, the deck offers a wide, stable platform ideal for fishing activities, complemented by practical features such as a removable Minn Kota PowerDrive trolling motor operated via a wireless remote key fob and an onboard battery charger to maintain trolling battery readiness.
Fishing and Storage Amenities
Fishing conveniences are thoughtfully integrated, including a 10-gallon aerated live well discreetly located under the starboard aft bench seat. When transitioning from fishing to water sports, users can easily stow rods, the trolling motor, and fishing chairs in their designated storage compartments and custom bags. Additionally, a ventilated in-floor storage compartment provides secure space for skis or boards, facilitating a swift conversion to a high-performance ski boat.
Helm and Controls
The captain’s helm station is equipped with an adjustable swivel seat and a streamlined console featuring illuminated analog gauges and a sport steering wheel. The stern drive model includes power steering, while the outboard version is fitted with a responsive hydraulic steering system, enhancing maneuverability and control for towing skiers and boarders.
Entertainment and Comfort
For relaxation and entertainment, both models come with a four-speaker AM/FM Bluetooth-compatible stereo system with an MP3 port. Swim platforms are available in single or dual aft configurations depending on the model, providing convenient water access for swimmers.
Additional Features and Trailer
Available in four classic colors, both the stern drive and outboard models are complemented by factory-matched, color-keyed trailers. These trailers feature GalvaShield corrosion protection, low-maintenance super lube hubs, and a space-saving swing-away tongue, enhancing durability and ease of transport.
Conclusion
The Tahoe 500 TF Stern Drive and 550 TF Outboard are versatile ski-fish runabouts that blend spacious design, fishing functionality, and water sports performance. Their thoughtful features and stylish design make them well-suited to meet the diverse needs of families and recreational boaters.
