WaterSki Magazine

Meet the best do-it-all ski boats and wakeboard boats from WATERSKI magazine's 2010 Boat Buyers Guide. If you're looking for a boat that can pull everything from skiing and wakeboarding to wakesurfing, your next ride might be on this list.

Ski Boat Review As one of the largest wakeboard boats in the Tige Boats line, the 24Ve magnificently blends advanced wakeboarding performance with a roomy, well-designed layout that is ideal for large families or serious wakeboarders who desire more space for a crew of up to 16...

Ski Boat Review The Tige Boats RZ2 has a lot going for it. As the flagship vessel in Tige Boats' lineup of stylish, high-performance, versatile wakeboard boats, it meets the demands of the serious wakeboarder as much as the family that likes to mix it up on the water...

Ski Boat Review Although Tige Boats refers to its Tige Z1 as an entry-level wakeboard and ski boat that will appeal to the first-time boat buyer, this versatile 21-footer’s performance is so much more...

BOAT REVIEW The Tige 22i direct-drive boat is always fun to test-drive, not just for the versatile wakes and experimenting with the TAPS2 settings to dial in customized wake shapes. It's also fun to simply hang out in the 22i thanks to its unique seating configuration...

BOAT REVIEW The Tige 20i is what slalom specialist pros such as Jamie Beauchesne and Chris Rossi choose to ski behind. We've seen Jamie run into 41 off behind this ski boat at home in New Hampshire — not the easiest lake to ski...

BOAT REVIEW The Tigé 22Vé might have been our biggest surprise when we hit the water with the Tigé ’08 ski and wakeboard boat models. The wake had a lot of pop with the optional 900-pound factory ballast that Tigé had included on our test boat...

BOAT REVIEW As the big boy in Tigé’s lineup, we made sure the 24Vé was the first wakeboard boat we tested. It was outfitted with all the optional equipment we’d want for ourselves: upgraded 340 horsepower EFI engine, tower, 900-pound ballast system...

BOAT REVIEW With a super-sleek design, the Tige RZ2 burst onto the scene last year with lines that immediately made us take notice of the wakeboard boat’s flare. So with Tigé encouraging us to use the optional ballast for our ’08 tests, we were particularly interested to see how it would affect this wakeboard boat’s ride...

BOAT REVIEW All new this year, the Tige RZ4 is the big brother to last year’s Tigé breakout addition, the RZ2. At 24 feet long, this boat is marketed as a big, bad wakeboard boat, and once we took it out we had to agree...

BOAT REVIEW This year, Tigé let us get our hands on two new boats in their line. While the RZ4 is their top-of-the-line, high-end wake boat, the new Z1 is meant to fill a need on the other end of the spectrum — one that not enough companies really address...

BOAT REVIEW The 20i is a tournament-quality slalom specialist that's worthy not only of professionals like Tigé team skiers Jamie Beauchesne and Chris Rossi, but of families as well. Its USA Water Ski record-capable hull makes it a champ in the course, and an extra-deep freeboard creates a passenger-friendly interior that's as spacious as it is secure...

BOAT REVIEW Versatility, agility, trailerability and affordability are all at the forefront with this 20V. Much of that is due to its size--20 feet of water-sports machine that switches from wakeboarding to skiing as easily as pushing the button on the TAPS2 wake-plate control...

BOAT REVIEW Lots of wakeboard and ski boats claim to be multisport-capable, but few live up to the challenge as well as the 21i. Families with both recreational wakeboarders and skiers to entertain will be happy to find that this boat is versatile enough to please them all, with the help of Tigé's ConvexV hull design and TAPS2 technology...
