The Tige 22V 2005 vs Tige RZ4 2011 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 22V 2005 at 21,0 ft versus Tige RZ4 2011 at 24,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Tige RZ4 2011 tips the scales at 4 485 lbs — 540 lbs less than the Tige 22V 2005 at 3 945 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 22V 2005 carries a rated maximum of 380 hp. Engine data for the Tige RZ4 2011 wasn't available in our records — check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Tige RZ4 2011 carries 48 gallons versus 38 gallons in the Tige 22V 2005. 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 RZ4 2011 is rated for 17 passengers, while the Tige 22V 2005 caps at 11. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Tige RZ4 2011 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Tige RZ4 2011 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 22V 2005 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 11 that costs less to run day-to-day.
