The Tige 22i 2005 vs Tige RZR 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.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Tige 22i 2005 measures 21,0 feet overall (2005), giving it roughly 19,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Tige RZR 2013 at 2,0 feet (2013). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Tige 22i 2005 tips the scales at 3 895 lbs — 3 864 lbs more than the Tige RZR 2013 at 31 lbs. 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 RZR 2013 wasn't available in our records — check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Tige 22i 2005 carries 47 gallons versus 38 gallons in the Tige RZR 2013. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Tige RZR 2013 is rated for 12 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 RZR 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Tige RZR 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 12 passengers and at 2,0 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.
