Spent a great day this past Monday at the Tige factory and out on the water behind an RZ2 and an RZ4. Aaron (shown below throwing a raley etc.) purchased a 22i in 2002 and now with over 680 hours on it, is moving to a v-drive. He wanted to compare the RZ4 and RZ2 wakeboarding wakes was like and surf wakes on the starboard side. After testing both boats, Aaron placed his order for an all-white RZ4 that begins production tomorrow. A good number (five actually) of boats for Hyperactive watersports were in various stages of production.
Having visited the Tige factory quite a few times, It is becoming more clear that nobody in the towboat business builds a better boat. Tige has come a long way in the past few years in stepping up their overall fit, finish and styling, but at the same time still builds the solid primary-bond hull and stringer systems that we all appreciate when the water get rough and we rack up hundreds of hours on our boats. Notice how the molds are rotated for gelcoat application allowing a more consistent application of many layers. Also, by turning the boat over for rigging the underwater gear it only makes sense that everything will be installed with greater accuracy than if the builders were working underneath the hull.
