The Tige 24V 2005 vs Tige RZ2 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 24V 2005 at 23,0 ft versus Tige RZ2 2013 at 22,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Tige 24V 2005 tips the scales at 4 325 lbs — 3 910 lbs more than the Tige RZ2 2013 at 415 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 24V 2005 carries a rated maximum of 380 hp. Engine data for the Tige RZ2 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 RZ2 2013 is rated for 15 passengers, while the Tige 24V 2005 caps at 12. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Tige RZ2 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Tige RZ2 2013 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 24V 2005 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 12 that costs less to run day-to-day.
