Tige Boats, Inc was started by Charlie Pigeon. Before starting Tige on his own Charlie worked as Director of Sales and Marketing with MasterCraft, Supra and Malibu Boats. Charlie always says that he likes to build a quality product with better performance and better features so people could have a better time on the lake. He adds that it didn’t matter how many boats he built. "What was important was to have 100 percent of my customers 100 percent satisfied." Tige's first boat hit the market in 1992 and was named "Rookie of the Year" by Waterski Magazine. In 1995, Tige developed the innovation that is the hallmark of its current line, the TAPS (Tige Boats adjustable Wake System) variable hull full trim system. In 1996, Tige developed the beginning of its Sport V line and turned more toward wakeboarding. It then announced it was no longer in the tournament ski boat business, but rather would build boats aimed at a broader range of water-sports activities, with an emphasis on wakeboarding performance.

Tige Boats prides itself on its solid construction. Their philosophy is "Tige's aren't overbuilt, they are properly built." The boats utilize a nine-stringer fiberglass chassis the company calls its QuadraBeam system. Their wood-core fiberglass stringers are much more dense than foam-core or hollow stringers, according to the manufacturer, which they say is a big reason why their boats have such a solid feel in all types of water conditions. They say this construction adds significantly more weight to the boat below the waterline,
which increases stability in rough water as well as absorbs harsh water conditions. In fact, they design their wakeboarding boats without the need for ballast. Floors are built of hand laid tri-directional fiberglass backed up with 3/4-inch Aqua Ply plus core. The Aqua
Ply has a lifetime transferable warranty against rot, degradation and delamination by XL/ Greenwood. This coring material comes with its own written warranty that covers complete replacement of material labor and all componentry. It is backed by a $200 million bond.

Tige 24Ve - The new tige 24ve is big, powerful and full of extras that will make a braggart of any boat buyer. Tige envisions this ride as the flagship boat of its line, and with good reason. This new V-drive is a wakeboarding and family powerhouse and is one of the top wakeboard boats on the market, and like its 24-foot brother the 24V, it was designed with the feedback of Tige's dealer and customer network. Unlike its brother, the 24Vé features a walk-through transom and activity center, which is convenient for getting in and out of the boat and provides additional storage.  The Tige 24ve is one of our favorites.

Tige 22Ve - Tige 22Ve is high-performance 22-foot V-drive with some refined touches of luxury that would make any boat stand out from the pack.22Vé features one of the most spacious layouts available in its size class. Other creature comforts, such as stainless-steel cup holders and Kicker speakers, make this boat stand out as one of the most impressive combinations of luxury and performance.

Tige 20V - The 20V offers the maneuverability and versatility multi-sport families desire, as well as an impressive level of responsiveness from the throttle. Combine that with the ability to cross over from slalom wakes worthy of an aggressive open-water set to shapely wakes the riders in the family will go crazy for, and you have a multi-sport machine that's as fun to drive as a convertible. This is one toy the whole family can play with.

Tige 22i - Tige has designed 22i's interior with an impressive amount of space around the engine box to accommodate passengers and their gear, adding to the appeal of this boat for serious wakeboarders and families alike.

Now, Tige aims to build the highest-quality, most innovative water-sports boats in the world and deliver them at a fair value with excellent after-sales service and support. Tige has a wide dealer network and all its dealers are MerCruiser certified. In Nov 2006 The National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) recognized Tige for superior customer service in the ''Inboard Tournament Ski Boat'' segment of the industry, and also recognized Tige was for its commitment to quality and support of industry efforts to enhance the consumer boating experience.
