Tigé Z1

The Tigé Z1, with its aggressive performance, delivers fresh design to a traditional boat.

No matter what your sport, the versatile Z1 can back up its reputation. Dial in the invisible slalom wake, the huge pop wakeboarding wake, or a surf wave sweet enough to fuel your endless summer. Built to satisfy any adrenaline junkie.

It’s hard to call the Z1 an entry level boat since it is designed to kick up the fun from the typical stern drive skiboat.

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 Z1 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 Z1 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.  



ULTIMATE 360 SERVICE PLUS

We deliver on our commitment to you by backing select models with Tigé 360 Service Plus*, the industry’s most comprehensive protection plan. This translates into three years of worry-free ownership and 360-degree service, at zero cost to you. We'll keep your boat where it belongs — on the water.

*See 360 Service Plus terms for full details.

While we’re proud to offer this warranty, we are even more proud of the fact we’ve never seen a Tigé structural hull failure. But if it ever happens, unlike most manufacturers that simply patch hulls, we’ll ensure you can always enjoy the trusted integrity of a solid new ride.

At 22 feets, the boat has a wide variety of abilities and can pull wakesurfers, skiers, and wakeboarders with solid performance. Wakesurfers will really appreciate the TAPS system, which lets the driver change the size and shape of the wave on the fly.”
