American Water Sports is pleased to offer this pre-owned 2013 Tigé RZ2 - Tigé Boats' 22-foot V-drive surf/wake platform, powered by Indmar's premium ZR 409 6.0-liter V8 inboard engine and equipped with Tigé's signature TAPS 2 wake-shaping system. Available at our Shell Knob location on Table Rock Lake (Stock #U-AR-1053C, Hull #TIX1053CA313), this RZ2 represents one of the more interesting non-MasterCraft, non-Malibu pre-owned options in the segment - Tigé brand pedigree, real wakesurf capability, and 409 horsepower of Indmar premium-spec V8 in a 22-foot V-drive platform that competes directly with comparable MasterCraft X-Series, Centurion Enzo/Avalanche, and Malibu Wakesetter builds from the same era. For the enthusiast buyer looking at a real wakesurf-capable V-drive surf/wake boat at a value price point - beyond the more-common MasterCraft and Malibu inventory on Table Rock - this 2013 Tigé RZ2 is a credible alternative with genuine brand and platform differentiation.
Why a Tigé RZ2?
Tigé Boats is one of the so-called "Big Four" premium inboard ski/wake boat builders - built in Abilene, Texas since 1991, Tigé sits alongside MasterCraft, Malibu, and Nautique at the top of the inboard ski/wake industry, with a distinct brand identity centered on wakesurf innovation, Texas-build craftsmanship, and aggressive sport-oriented styling. Tigé has historically been a leader in wakesurf technology - the TAPS (Tigé Adjustable Performance System) wake-shaping platform was one of the earliest production wake-shaping systems in the industry, and its TAPS 2 evolution (active during the 2013 model year) brought refined surf-wave shaping to the brand's V-drive platform. The RZ2 specifically is Tigé's mid-tier 22-foot V-drive surf/wake boat - sized between the smaller R20 and the larger RZ4, sitting in the sweet spot of the segment for buyers who want serious wakesurfing and wakeboarding capability without the size and fuel cost of a 24-foot or larger platform. For the buyer who already knows MasterCraft and Malibu inventory and wants to see what's different on the Tigé side of the segment, the RZ2 is the right place to look.
Indmar ZR 409 6.0L V8 - Premium-Spec Inboard Powertrain
Power on this RZ2 comes from Indmar Marine's ZR 409 - a 6.0-liter V8 inboard engine producing 409 horsepower at the prop. The ZR series is Indmar's premium ski/wake engine line, sitting above the 5.7-liter MCX-spec engines that powered most production V-drives of this vintage. The 6.0-liter displacement (based on the GM L96/Vortec 6.0L architecture) delivers more torque, more thrust at low RPM, and more authority pulling ballast-loaded surf weight than the 5.7L alternatives - particularly meaningful for a heavier surf-mode wakesurf wave. 409 horsepower is enough to plane a fully-ballasted RZ2 with passengers and pull a wakesurfer cleanly without straining the powertrain. Indmar engines are well-supported by any competent marine inboard mechanic, and the ZR-spec parts and rebuild ecosystem is fully developed. For exact current engine hour reading and service history on this specific 2013 RZ2, please contact our Shell Knob team for the build specifics.
TAPS 2 Wake-Shaping System - Tigé's Signature Surf Technology
TAPS 2 (Tigé Adjustable Performance System, 2nd generation) is the headline technology on this RZ2 and the feature that distinguishes Tigé from competitors of the same era. TAPS 2 is a transom-mounted, hydraulic-actuated wake-shaping plate that deploys at the helm to shape and amplify the wake on either the port or starboard side of the boat - creating a dedicated, rideable surf wave that responds to driver inputs in real time. Combined with factory ballast (Tigé's ballast plumbing from this era used hard-tank and/or plumbed-bag configurations depending on build) and the proper rope-side surfer protocol, TAPS 2 enabled the RZ2 to throw a serious wakesurf wave on demand. This is meaningfully different from earlier-2000s V-drive wakeboard boats that predated wake-shaping technology - a 2013 RZ2 with TAPS 2 is firmly in the wakesurf-capable era, not just wakeboard-only. The exact current TAPS 2 actuator and ballast system status on this RZ2 is documented in person at our Shell Knob location.
V-Drive Surf/Wake Capability & Wakesurf Safety Notes
The RZ2's V-drive inboard configuration places the engine amidships with the V-drive transmission running the prop shaft aft under the hull - placing the prop further back and the engine weight further aft than a traditional direct-drive ski boat. This produces the kind of wake geometry that wakeboarders and wakesurfers want. For wakesurfing specifically, V-drive boats require the surfer to stay on the side of the wave OPPOSITE the prop's spinning direction - Tigé and other V-drive manufacturers indicate the safe rope side at the helm, and surfers should follow the manufacturer's surf-side recommendation rigorously. By 2013, V-drive wakesurfing was mainstream and widely-supported across the segment - though the industry has since moved toward forward-drive propulsion (Volvo Penta Forward Drive, MasterCraft NXT-series, Regal Surf-class) on dedicated surf platforms because forward-drive places the prop physically far in front of the surfer for additional safety margin. For the wakesurfer who prefers the V-drive-class wake character at a meaningful cost savings vs. current-model forward-drive surf boats, the RZ2 platform remains one of the strongest pre-owned options in the segment.
22-Foot Surf/Wake Platform - Right-Sized for Table Rock
The RZ2's 22-foot platform is just about the perfect size for Table Rock Lake and the surrounding Ozarks waterways. Long enough to throw a serious surf wave with full ballast loaded, wide enough at the cockpit to support an active wakeboarding/wakesurfing crew with riders, drivers, spotters, and passengers, but short enough to handle and trailer easily from any ramp on the lake. The cockpit layout is purpose-built for surf/wake duty - wraparound passenger seating, helm-and-companion seating up front, observer seating at the transom for the spotter (required by Missouri lake regulations for towed-rider activities), integrated swim platform with boarding ladder, and the kind of robust ski-tow eye and wakeboard tower hardware the segment requires. Tower configuration, board racks, tower-mounted speakers, audio system, helm electronics, and trailer status on this specific RZ2 are documented in person at Shell Knob.

Overview
The Tyga 20th Anniversary Platinum Edition RZ2 represents a fully optioned version of Tyga's premium water sports platform. Known for their outstanding boat designs and patented performance features, Tyga has enhanced this special edition with a range of custom elements and thoughtful details aimed at maximizing both functionality and style.
Exterior Design and Swim Platform
A key contributor to Tyga's renowned handling is their patented convex V-hull, which features a slight rise as the hull meets the transom, a design unique to the brand. The swim platform measures 5 feet 6 inches by 2 feet 4 inches and is mounted low to the water for easy access, even when carrying boards. It includes a grab handle for assistance and a small stern platform suitable for sitting or managing boards. Underneath the platform, there is self-draining wet/dry storage lined with a non-skid rubberized mat, two stainless steel drink holders, and a stereo remote control. The boat’s inboard configuration naturally causes it to back to starboard, which is why the walkthrough is positioned on the starboard side and mounted nearly level with the dock to facilitate loading and unloading gear. Additional storage compartments are found to port, including a battery switch and courtesy light.
Cockpit and Seating
The cockpit features wraparound seating with an aft-facing observer seat that provides clear sightlines to the tow line. Tyga addresses upholstery durability by designing removable and reversible corner cushions that expose a carpeted surface, protecting the upholstery from foot traffic. The cockpit depth measures approximately 2 feet 8 inches, enhancing safety and comfort. The upholstery is highlighted with metallic Platinum Edition accents. Under the starboard seat lies a self-draining cooler, while the port side offers extensive storage running the full length of the cockpit. Additional storage is accessible beneath the aft-facing seat, which also includes cargo netting and a mirror for convenience. Stainless steel drink holders, speakers, courtesy lights, and custom snap-in carpeting complete the cockpit’s premium appointments.
Helm and Controls
The captain’s station is equipped with a comfortable wrap-around bucket seat featuring mesh inserts for ventilation and a flip-up bolster. The seat swivels and slides fore and aft, though care is advised due to the proximity of the swivel adjustment to the leg area. An armrest facilitates fine throttle adjustments when not using the Tyga Touch Speed Set. The helm is fitted with a leather-wrapped Carlotta steering wheel with a cast stainless steel center. The instrument panel maintains an elegant simplicity with just three primary gauges—tachometer, speedometer, and trim gauge—each incorporating embedded fuel and engine temperature indicators. Most functions are managed via the Tyga Touch multi-function display, which offers touchscreen and physical control inputs, allowing comprehensive control of boat systems.
Alpha Z Tower and Additional Features
The custom collapsible Alpha Z Tower is a standout feature, combining functionality with aesthetic appeal. For the Platinum Edition, the WetSounds Pro 60 speakers are customized to match the boat’s color scheme, differing from the standard black or white. The tower is spring-assisted for easy raising and lowering, making it practical for garage storage. Integrated handholds provide secure grip points when docking. The tower offers ample headroom for most users and includes a tow point at 6 feet 5 inches, equipped with a swiveling camera to track the tow line activity. It also accommodates a bimini top and features molded-in LED docking lights at the front.
Bow and Walkthrough Windshield
The walkthrough windshield is secured by a latch on the port side and provides an 18-inch passage between the two consoles. Both windshield supports are constructed from stainless steel and are robust enough to support significant weight. Forward seating includes lift-up seat backs revealing storage compartments, though the seats themselves conceal the ballast system beneath. The Pickle Fork Bow design offers generous space for relaxation, and the cockpit depth transitions from about 1.5 feet at the center to deeper aft, enhancing safety. A stainless steel grab handle engraved with the Platinum Edition logo adds a refined touch.
Power and Performance
Beneath the engine hatch resides a PCM ZR409 inboard engine, a powerplant contributing to the boat’s strong performance and handling characteristics. The patented convex V-hull design further enhances maneuverability and ride quality, distinguishing Tyga’s boats in the water sports category.
Conclusion
The Tyga 20th Anniversary Platinum Edition RZ2 is a thoughtfully designed and meticulously crafted water sports boat that combines patented hull technology with premium materials and custom features. From its low-mounted swim platform and extensive storage solutions to the advanced helm controls and collapsible tower, this edition exemplifies Tyga’s commitment to performance, safety, and user convenience. The Platinum Edition highlights and custom touches elevate the overall aesthetic, making it a compelling choice for enthusiasts seeking a fully equipped, high-performance water sports platform.
