The Tige 22i 2013 vs Tige 22V 2006 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 2013 at 21,7 ft versus Tige 22V 2006 at 21,0 ft. At 3 895 lbs and 3 945 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class — either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.
The Tige 22V 2006 tops out at 380 hp. Engine specs for the Tige 22i 2013 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Tige 22i 2013 carries 47 gallons versus 38 gallons in the Tige 22V 2006. 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 22V 2006 is rated for 11 passengers, while the Tige 22i 2013 caps at 1. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Tige 22V 2006 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Tige 22V 2006 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 11 passengers and at 21,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Tige 22i 2013 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 1 that costs less to run day-to-day.
