Wakeboard Boat Review
The 20 in Tige R20 refers to this new wakeboard boat‘s 20-foot length, but it could just as easily invoke Tige Boats‘ 20 years of boatbuilding experience. After all, the entry-level Tige R20 features the same proven construction as Tige’s flagship RZ wakeboard boat series and the same ConvexV hull as the brand-new Tige RZR. It’s also packaged with a host of standard features designed to get you out wakeboarding and wakesurfing without adding a single option. Tige’s anodized Vector tower with fixed board racks, a 900-pound ballast system and Tige SpeedSet cruise control all come standard — all at Tige’s best value.
The Tige R20 is the best wakeboard boat for you if: You’re a first-time inboard boat buyer who wants all the wakeboarding essentials without breaking the bank.
How to max it out: Pump up the size of your wake with the 1,600-pound Surf factory ballast system; get out of the hole in an instant with the 6-liter, 409 horsepower PCM ZR engine; and crank up your sound setup with the Tower of Power system, which includes two amps, a 10-inch subwoofer, six interior speakers and two tower speakers.
