Introducing the new Z3—the perfect fusion of traditional bow design and distinctive Tigé styling. With the help of TeamTigé pro athletes, the Z3 is designed to effortlessly dial-in your perfect wake or massive surf wave. Focused on every detail from bow to stern, the Z3 offers the deepest freeboard in the Tigé family, allowing you an unparalleled ride and comfort.
Drive one and we know you'll agree that the Tigé Z3 is a timeless expression of tradition and progress.
Aspiring to be the “go-to” model for surfer's jumping on the wake-surfing craze, Tigé offers the new Z3 inboard for 2012. By being able to select the size and shape of the wake it creates – and even which side it appears on -- the Z3 allows the operator to customize the waves for everything from waterskiing and wakeboarding to the popular new sport of wakesurfing. Here is the ultimate "Endless Wave."
Equipped with standard 343-hp PCM inboard, the Z3 will reach a top end of 48 mph burning 6-9 gallons per hour.

Distinguishing Features
There are probably more differences among ski and wake boats than there are in most types of boats, but Tigé is not just another builder of inboard sportboats. It has always stood apart in its approach to boat building and the market. Here are some of its differences--
Bottom shape. Most boats have what is known as a “hook” or drop at the aft-end of the hull to facilitate the hole shot and help get the boat up on top of the water with a minimal amount of power and with the minimum amount of wake-inducing drag. To generate big wakes wanted by wakesurfers, Tigé simply does the opposite with the Z3 bottom, creating what it calls a ConvexV hull. This hull actually curves up along the last two feet at the transom to allow the hull to settle deeper in the water while underway to create a large wake.
TAPs system. The TAPS system is an adjustable plate on the af edge of the boat's bottom at the transom that acts as a trim-tab to control the angle of the hull at the transom. With the TAPS system the Z3 can generate a variety of wake sizes from maximum for surfing to minimum for slalom skiing.
Tigé offers the only inboard that allows the operator to go from a wakesurfing wake to a slalom wake in less than five seconds via the TAP system, monitored via a Medallion digital/analog gauge that works in tandem with the TigéTouch control screen.
Tigé Touch. Tigé was the first boat company to truly introduce the digital age to boating with its "Tigé Touch." This one screen on the diver's panel controls the TAP system the ballast fill, the speed of the boat, and remembers all of these settings for up to 20 individual tow-sport or surfing performers. In addition Tigé Touch controls virtually all aspects of the boat and monitors almost every function on the boat.
