Overview
The Tahoe 550TS is a bow rider designed for versatility and performance, equipped with an outboard motor and a range of standard features including a cooler, an AM/FM and Bluetooth-capable stereo with MP3 input, and a trailer. It supports 4-stroke outboards up to 200 horsepower, providing ample power for speed and towing water sports equipment.
Power and Performance
The 550TS features Tahoe's Power Glide 2 hull design, characterized by a wider and longer running surface introduced in 2016. During testing with a Mercury 150 horsepower 4-stroke outboard paired with a 19-inch pitch Tempest Plus 3-blade stainless steel propeller, the boat planed in 4.5 seconds, reached 20 mph in 6.1 seconds, and 30 mph in 8.3 seconds. Its top speed was recorded at 48.8 mph at 5,800 rpm, consuming 13.8 gallons per hour and offering a range of 105 miles at wide open throttle. The most efficient cruising speed was 24 mph at 3,000 rpm, burning 3.9 gallons per hour and extending the range to 182 miles with a 10% fuel reserve. Handling was precise and stable, with the boat banking slightly during slalom and circle turns, maintaining clean tracking, and demonstrating solid performance over wakes and choppy water.
Exterior Design and Helm
The helm area is thoughtfully designed for driver comfort and functionality. It includes a full set of gray spun aluminum gauges that reduce glare, an acrylic hinged brow, and a bungee cord to secure a cell phone. The helm seat is a swiveling bucket style with fore and aft adjustment, complemented by a matching co-pilot seat featuring contoured back support, an angled footrest, and a strategically placed stainless steel grab rail. The tall windshield effectively shields occupants from the breeze without obstructing visibility. The cockpit bench seat spans the width of the area, accommodating at least three passengers with integrated grab handles and outboard speakers. Upholstery features two-tone colors and a raised pattern for enhanced aesthetics. The sun lounge provides ample space for an adult to recline comfortably.
Deck and Boarding Features
At the transom, the 550TS is equipped with swim steps and a four-step ladder with a grab handle on the starboard side, facilitating easier boarding compared to the industry-standard three-step ladders. The port swim step includes a draining locker designed for wet items such as ski tow ropes. Moving forward, the bow offers seating for adults on each side, complete with reachable grab handles, cup holders, and speakers. The 17-inch-wide passageway allows access to the bow area, though the addition of a door to enclose the bow for cooler weather use could be considered.
Storage and Convenience
Storage solutions are abundant throughout the 550TS. The bow features an anchor locker beneath the forward cushion, though securing the anchor rope end could be improved. Hinged bottom cushions on each side open to reveal molded draining lockers with integrated channels to prevent water intrusion. The bow backrests also open to provide access to additional console storage and the onboard fuse panel located to starboard. The port dash houses a glove box with MP3 input and a 12-volt power plug. A large locker in the sole measures seven feet long, one foot deep, and 23 inches wide, equipped with racks for bow and anchor lights; however, adding vents to this hatch could improve ventilation. Beneath the center section of the bench seat, there is dedicated space for a 36-quart removable cooler. Additional draining lockers are accessible under the bottom cushions on both sides of the cockpit. Gunwale trays with bungee cords secure smaller items, and a fire extinguisher is conveniently located to starboard. Under the sun lounge cushions, large hatches open to a cavernous storage compartment that also provides access to the battery and trim pump, though the addition of partitions would help organize stored gear.
Conclusion
The Tahoe 550TS presents a well-rounded package as a reasonably priced bow rider that comes complete with a trailer and an efficient 4-stroke outboard motor. Its strong performance, comfortable seating for eight passengers, and comprehensive list of standard equipment make it a practical and capable choice for boating families seeking a versatile and reliable vessel.
