WHY IS TIGÉ THE ONLY ONE?
If hull trim is so beneficial, why is Tigé the only inboard to offer it? Because the design and technology behind our fully trimmable hull is protected by U.S. Patents for design and application. The dramatic success of TAPS2 technology relies on the patented rocker shape of the ConvexV hull, which allows a full range of hull movement up and down. So–called “wake plates” on other inboards are only sad and ineffective imitations of this proven Tigé technology, since all other inboards have a permanent hook that prohibits variable trim. Wake plates or not, all other inboards are literally stuck with the severe limitations of the outdated static hull regardless of the proven benefits of the trimmable ConvexV hull.
-
TRIM FOR WAKE VERSATILITY, PERFORMANCE AND MORE
Tigé is the only inboard that allows you to go from a wakeboarding wake to a slalom wake in less than five seconds. No tanks to fill or empty, no dangerous drag hardware to deploy…just push the TAPS2 button and you’re ready to go. But instant wake versatility is just one of the benefits of the world’s only trimmable inboard.
-
NO BALLAST…NO WORRIES
All other inboards require heavy ballast or drag hardware to produce even entry–level wakeboarding wakes. A major hassle, it’s a fact of life locked–into the hooked, static hull design. Well, Tigé has changed all that. With its patented rocker shape and full trim capability, the Tigé ConvexV hull settles naturally at wakeboarding or surfing speeds, creating tremendous water displacement and huge wakes without ballast. Want to boost the Tigé wake even more? You’ll find that your Tigé needs far less ballast than all other inboards to achive the same pro–level results.
-
WEDGES AND WEIGHT DROWN PERFORMANCE
Ballast and drag hardware make an inboard drive like a bulldozer. Try a tight turn with the tanks full or the hydrofoil deployed…so much for nimble inboard handling. In contrast, the trimmable Tigé ConvexV hull and TAPS2 technology dramatically enhance boat performance and handling while safely delivering outstanding world–class wakes.
-
HIGHER TOP SPEED QUICKER ACCELERATION
Adjusting TAPS2 allows you to precisely trim the ConvexV hull to reduce drag, achieve higher top speeds and quicker acceleration without increasing horsepower. Stern–drive enthusiasts know what we’re talking about.
-
BIG BOOST IN FUEL ECONOMY
Reducing drag through precise hull trim also significantly reduces fuel use, making Tigé the world’s most fuel–efficient inboard. By design, all other inboards are stuck with excessive drag and excessive fuel consumption. Add the required hydrofoil drag hardware plus thousands of pounds of ballast and you can understand why all other inboards spend so much time at the gas pump.
-
WITHOUT THE CONVEX V ROCKER…A PLATE IS JUST A PLATE
So–called “wake plates” on other inboards are only sad imitations of proven Tigé technology. All other inboards have a permanent hook in the hull that locks the boat into a fixed, bow–down running attitude. The hook prevents the bow from rising and prohibits variable trim. The dramatic success of TAPS2 technology relies on the patented rocker shape of the ConvexV hull, which allows a full range of hull movement up and down. Running attitude is quickly adjusted by repositioning TAPS2. That’s why TAPS2 works and all the imitators are simply empty plates.
-
DIAL IN COMFORT, SAFETY AND A DRY RIDE
Full trim capability is a big part of why the Tigé ride and safety are superior to all other inboards. The ability to make precise adjustments to running attitude allows the driver to soften the ride, reduce noise and maximize passenger comfort and safety. Trimming in chop and rough conditions also keeps passengers dry and happy.
-
BENEFITS OF HULL TRIM…NO COMPROMISE
Tigé is the clear choice for stern–drive enthusiasts who crave the superior handling and wake performance of an inboard. Trade that bulky, wake–spoiling stern drive unit for the clear advantages of the only inboard that delivers all the benefits of full trim capability plus world–class watersports performance unmatched by any other boat.
-
THE MOST EXTRAORDINARY SURF WAKES
Tigé is the only inboard that can produce an outstanding surf wake on either side. Full trim capability and the unique shape of the ConvexV hull allow you to dial in port or starboard side to get a clean sweet spot with enough juice to keep you going all day.
