Our patented Convex V Hull (Patent #6874441) represents Tige’s most fundamental innovation—a radical departure from conventional hull design that creates the foundation for our superior wake performance.
Imitated, But Never Duplicated
The Convex V Hull and TAPS, Tige’s patented system, is often imitated but never duplicated. Other manufacturers offer wake plates and drag hardware, but without the Convex V Hull shape they are unable to reproduce our results. It’s no wonder Tige is the clear choice for boating enthusiasts who crave the superior handling and wake performance of an inboard.
While every other manufacturer stuck with yesterday’s thinking, we flipped the script. Literally.
Unlike traditional hulls that feature a permanent hook design, our Convex V Hull employs a subtle yet crucial rocker shape running surface—similar to the bottom of a surfboard or wake board. This engineering breakthrough fundamentally changes how our boats displace water, creating cleaner wakes and waves while improving overall handling and efficiency.
Every millimeter has been calculated, sculpted, and proven to work in synergy with nature and the laws of physics. For you technical people: we’re harnessing the Coanda Effect—the phenomenon that causes fluid to adhere to a curved surface. Simply put, water follows our hull’s curves exactly how we want it to, giving us the perfect balance of wake shape and power.
This isn’t just a hull—it’s the foundation that makes everything else possible. The masterfully engineered Convex V Hull and TAPS technology make Tige the first and only inboard to feature full trim capability. Add in TAPS 3T and the GO System, and you have the most advanced surf and wakeboard boat system ever created.
The result? Dynamic waves that adapt to every rider, every sport, every skill level.
We’ll take on anyone when it comes to rough water performance. Our modern keel design slices through chop with unmatched stability and control—no leaning, just smooth, confident handling that keeps the boat dry and your crew comfortable. It’s more than engineering; it’s the difference between riding through rough water and conquering it.
We’re the only inboard that can produce a true ocean-worthy wakesurfing experience. The unique shape allows you to dial in a clean sweet spot with enough push and power to keep you riding all day.
Precise control over running attitude means softer rides, reduced noise, and passengers who stay comfortable, safe, and dry—even when you’re throwing massive wakes.
Go from a wakeboarding wake to a slalom wake in less than five seconds. The Convex V Hull foundation makes these instant transformations possible.
While other boats fight bow rise that blocks your view, our boat's design keeps the bow low and your sightlines clear.
Our hull shape works with water flow instead of fighting it. Combined with Indmar Raptor engines and precise torque ratios, you’ll spend more time riding and less time at the pump.
