Both the Tige 22i 2008 and the Tige RZ2 2008 are modified-V designs, both built in fibreglass, so the buying decision usually comes down to a handful of practical questions: how many people are you putting on the water, how far do you trailer, and what does your tow vehicle weigh?
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department - Tige 22i 2008 at 21,0 ft versus Tige RZ2 2008 at 22,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Tige RZ2 2008 tips the scales at 4 150 lbs - 255 lbs less than the Tige 22i 2008 at 3 895 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.
Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling - 400 hp for the Tige 22i 2008 and 400 hp for the Tige RZ2 2008. Real-world performance will come down more to which motor is actually bolted on, its load at the time, and whether it's a 4-stroke or 2-stroke setup. 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 RZ2 2008 is rated for 15 passengers, while the Tige 22i 2008 caps at 10. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Tige RZ2 2008 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Tige RZ2 2008 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 15 passengers and at 22,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Tige 22i 2008 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 10 that costs less to run day-to-day.
