The Tige 22i 2005 vs Tige RZ4 2013 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Tige 22i 2005 at 21,0 ft versus Tige RZ4 2013 at 24,0 ft.

That difference is meaningful if you're working within a half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck's tow rating, especially once you factor in a motor, gear, and fuel.
The Tige 22i 2005 carries a rated maximum of 380 hp. Engine data for the Tige RZ4 2013 wasn't available in our records — check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 47 gal and 48 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Tige RZ4 2013 is rated for 17 passengers, while the Tige 22i 2005 caps at 1. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Tige RZ4 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Tige RZ4 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 17 passengers and at 24,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Tige 22i 2005 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 1 that costs less to run day-to-day.
