Research 2020-Tahoe Boats- 500 TF

~The TAHOE 500 TF runabout brings together the performance, comfort, space and features versatility-loving families need to cruise, tube, relax and fish—all in the same outing.
Performance-wise, the 500 TF combines our exclusive POWERGLIDE hull design with a spirited Mercury sterndrive, resulting in quick holeshots, nimble handling and impressive top-end for cruising and watersports (check out that ski tow ring!). For comfort, plush seating throughout, as well as a removable cooler for keeping drinks cold, are ready.
For slower—yet just as exciting—fun, you can deploy the trolling motor, set up the fishing chairs at the fore and aft positions and fill up the livewell.
