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 RZ2 represents a significant advancement in wakeboard boat design, combining innovative technology with high performance. Featuring Tyga's patented convex V-hull shape and TAPS2 technology, the RZ2 delivers professional-level wake creation without relying on traditional ballast systems. This approach results in a lighter, faster boat with reduced drag and enhanced efficiency. The model-wide upgrade includes an advanced electronic control system integrating the power plant, throttle, speedset control, smart instrumentation, and MEFI 5 electronic technology, all aimed at improving reliability, functionality, and driver satisfaction.
Exterior Design and Deck Layout
The RZ2 showcases a distinctive exterior with Chevron graphics along the hull sides, emphasizing its modern styling. The hull's convex V design eliminates the typical hook seam found in most wakeboard boats, enabling smoother turns and superior wake shapes. The bow area features a pickle-forward design that maximizes topside seating space with wraparound seats, stainless steel drink holders, and recessed grab rails along the gunnels. A walkthrough windshield includes an optional Lexan windscreen to shield the cockpit from cool morning air. The portside aft seating incorporates a unique corner I-shaped cushion that flips to become a carpeted step, and beneath the seating, interconnected storage compartments extend from the stern to the bow, ideal for longboards and skis. Additional amenities include a drainable locker behind the helm seat that doubles as a cooler or wet locker, courtesy lights, speakers, and multiple stainless steel drink holders throughout the cockpit. The tower offers several options, including a swivel board rack and a premium sound upgrade system branded as the Tower of Power.
Helm and Controls
The helm station is designed for comprehensive driver control and comfort. The Visionaire mesh seat provides ergonomic support, and ballast system controls are conveniently mounted on the sidewall adjacent to the seat when the professional ballast option is selected. To the left of the tilt steering wheel, three 12-volt sockets accommodate portable devices and cell phones. The dashboard features Medallion CANBUS digital instruments with both digital and analog displays, monitoring various boat and engine parameters. A notable feature is the speed set panel located to the right of the wheel, functioning similarly to automotive cruise control by allowing precise digital speed adjustments. The TAPS2 plate is controlled via a fly-by-wire interface on the side panel, enhancing handling and wake shaping.
Power and Performance
The RZ2 offers a choice of powerplants, starting with a standard 315-horsepower GM Vortec engine and options to upgrade to more powerful units, including the 360-horsepower GM Vortec found in the test model. The boat measures 22 feet in length overall with a beam of 102 inches and weighs approximately 3,900 pounds. Fuel capacity is 47 gallons, providing extended range for prolonged outings. During testing, the RZ2 demonstrated a smooth ride, effectively cutting through rough water conditions and executing tight turns that produced impressive wakes. Optimal fuel efficiency was observed around 3,000 RPM at 25.3 miles per hour, yielding a range of approximately 92 miles on a full tank. The top recorded speed was 42.3 miles per hour, with potential for higher speeds in calmer conditions.
Additional Features and Amenities
The stern area includes a multifunctional pad that serves as both an engine hatch and a comfortable spot to relax at anchor. Storage compartments accommodate a soft-side cooler on the starboard side adjacent to the engine. The central aft deck features a rubber seat mat, providing a safe and practical surface for onboard tasks. An optional swim platform is available, designed for easy removal by two people through a pin system. The boat’s storage solutions and convenience features are thoughtfully integrated to support active water sports and social activities.
Conclusion
The Tyga RZ2 is a technologically advanced wakeboard boat that excels in speed, comfort, and innovative design. Its patented hull shape and TAPS2 technology deliver professional-quality wakes without the complexity of ballast systems, while the upgraded electronic controls enhance driver experience and reliability. With a well-appointed interior and exterior layout, powerful engine options, and efficient performance, the RZ2 meets the demands of modern water sports enthusiasts seeking a high-performance, versatile vessel.
