American Water Sports is pleased to offer this pre-owned 2010 Tigé RZ4 — the largest, premium-tier flagship of Tigé's late-2000s/early-2010s R-class V-drive surf/wake lineup. Available at our Kimberling City location on Table Rock Lake (Stock #U-AR-0199D, Hull #TIX0199DL910), this RZ4 is a 24-foot premium V-drive built by Tigé Boats — the Abilene, Texas builder that sits in the so-called “Big Four” of premium American inboard ski/wake boat manufacturers alongside MasterCraft, Malibu, and Nautique. The RZ4 specifically was the flagship-class platform in Tigé's R-Series lineup during this era — sized larger than the smaller RZ2 (22-foot) and the ASR (23-foot) you'll also see in our pre-owned inventory, and offering the kind of 24-foot cockpit room, wave amplitude, and platform refinement that defined Tigé's flagship-tier positioning. For the buyer cross-shopping vintage premium V-drive surf/wake boats — particularly comparing to comparable MasterCraft X-45 builds at the same 24-foot length — this 2010 Tigé RZ4 represents Tigé's premium answer at a value vintage price point.
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. The RZ4 specifically sat at the top of Tigé's R-class V-drive lineup during this vintage — sized larger than the RZ2 (22 feet) and ASR (23 feet), and tuned for buyers who wanted Tigé's premium wake-shaping capability at the largest 24-foot cockpit footprint. By 2010, the RZ4 ran TAPS 2 wake-shaping (TAPS 3 came later in the 2013-2014 timeframe) and was thoroughly wakesurf-capable with appropriate ballast and surf-side protocol. For the buyer cross-shopping vintage premium V-drives at the larger 24-foot length, the RZ4 represents Tigé's flagship answer — the next size up from comparable MasterCraft X-30 vintage builds.
Power on this RZ4 comes from an Indmar V8 inboard with V-drive transmission — Indmar Marine builds the engine programs for Tigé out of the same Tennessee facility that produces engines for other Big-Four inboard manufacturers. RZ4 builds from the 2010 model year typically came with the Indmar 5.7L MEFI-spec V8 or the larger 6.0L V8 option depending on the original-owner specification — both well-respected premium powertrains for the 24-foot V-drive platform. Indmar engines are well-supported by any competent marine inboard mechanic, and parts and service availability through Tigé's dealer network and independent shops is broadly developed. With premium V8 displacement on a 24-foot V-drive surf platform, this powertrain delivers the kind of broad torque curve and ballast-pulling authority that the segment requires. For exact engine displacement, horsepower rating, calibration spec, and current engine hour reading on this specific 2010 RZ4 — please contact our Kimberling City team for the build specifics.
The 2010 RZ4 ran TAPS 2 (Tigé Adjustable Performance System, 2nd generation) — Tigé's signature wake-shaping platform and one of the more-developed surf-wave technologies of the era. TAPS 2 was a transom-mounted, hydraulic-actuated wake-shaping plate that deployed 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 responded 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 RZ4 to throw a serious wakesurf wave on demand — particularly amplified by the larger 24-foot RZ4 hull versus the smaller R-class platforms. While TAPS 2 predates the more-refined TAPS 3 system that came later in the 2013-2014 timeframe, the 2010 RZ4 was firmly in the wakesurf-capable era. The exact current TAPS 2 actuator and ballast system status on this RZ4 is documented in person at our Kimberling City location.
The RZ4'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 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 2010, V-drive wakesurfing was firmly 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 surf boats, the RZ4 platform remains one of the more credible larger-format premium V-drive options.
The RZ4's 24-foot platform is right-sized for serious surf/wake duty on Table Rock Lake's bigger water — particularly valuable on windier days when the larger hull keeps the wave cleaner and the cockpit drier than a smaller platform. The extra 1-2 feet over a 22-foot or 23-foot V-drive translates directly into more cockpit passenger space, more storage volume, and the kind of larger-platform stability that big-water surf/wake families come to appreciate. 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 RZ4 are documented in person at Kimberling City.
