When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Tige RZ2 2013 and the Tige Z1 2013 are modified vee designs with fiberglass construction — 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 RZ2 2013 at 22,0 ft versus Tige Z1 2013 at 21,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Tige Z1 2013 tips the scales at 3 714 lbs — 3 299 lbs less 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 Z1 2013 tops out at 434 hp. Engine specs for the Tige RZ2 2013 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Tige RZ2 2013 carries 48 gallons versus 38 gallons in the Tige Z1 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 RZ2 2013 is rated for 15 passengers, while the Tige Z1 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 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 Z1 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.
