Tige®: Founded by Charlie andquot;TigerandQuote; Pigeon in 1991 in California, Charles dropped the R and named the company Tige'® and began producing top of the line wakeboard boats.
Factory Original-Equipment-Manufacturer (OEM) Canvas for Tige® boats: Our team patterned and manufactured the Factory Original-Equipment-Manufacturer (OEM) canvas for Tige® 20 Switch, 20i, 20V, 22i, 21R, 22R, 24V, 22Ve, 24Ve, RZ2 and RZ4 boats from 2008 to current.
We produce new canvas
(diagram explaining what
each piece of canvas is called)
in Black, Pacific Blue, Cadet Grey, Orange and Jockey Red Sunbrella fabric.
We often offer ANY color Sunbrella
to match your personal taste
(these colors may not be available from the dealer).
Note: Zippers on OEM Tige(r) canvas are size #8 (6 teeth/inch). Tige(r) installed the snaps in their boats, canvas and covers at their factory, so we cannot install the canvas snaps for you because we do not have locations (see Canvas/Snap Installation to learn about installing snaps). We can only sell canvas and covers direct for Tige(r) boats over 2 years old. Zippers on OEM canvas are size #8 (6 teeth/inch). Tige(r) OEM canvas part numbers:
-- Great Lakes(r) tags: p/n [yyTGmmm mm tar-xxxxx-fcc], where [yy] is the year, [TG] is Tige, [mmm mm] is the model ([RZ4 ] for example), [t] is the type of windshield (S=Std or W=optional stainless), [a] is (A)rch or (N)o Arch, [r] is the revision, [xxxxx] identifies the canvas piece, [f] is the fabric (A=Sunbrella acrylic, S=SeaMark) and [cc] is the color code.,
-- Ameritex(r) tags: p/n [nnnxxxccc], where [nnnn] identifies the boat, [xxx] is the canvas piece and [ccc] is color code. Tige(r) Hull Identification Number (HIN) = TIGpssssmbyy , where [yy] = model year.
Specifications, care and cleaning of
Sunbrella
,
and other canvas materials are detailed below.
In some cases (if the boat mfgr is out of business for example
you can upgrade the windows to
Strataglass
coated clear vinyl
(approx. 50-60 percent more cost),
however the standard Eisenglass (clear vinyl) will last
for many years with
proper care, cleaning and storage.
We utilize our
library of 1,000's of patterns to produce
new, "made-to-order" Factory Original canvas
for your Tige® boat.
This is the same canvas originally offered
from the Tige® Factory
and sold by your local Tige® dealer
(local dealers may only go back 5 years or so however,
and charge local sales tax, which we do not charge
except in SC and FL).
No other canvas manufacturer has these patterns
or the ability to produce
the exact factory Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) replacement canvas and covers that were offered
from the Tige® Factory
when your boat was new.
Please be sure that you have the Factory Tige® frame or matching canvas.

Strataglass® advantages.
Strataglass® is available in 20-mil (0.020"), 30-mil (aka 30ga = 0.030" thick),
40-mil (0.040") or 60-mil (0.060" = ~1/16") thickness.
The 40-mil is available in a clear, light smoke or dark smoke tint,
which is a special order (adds another 10% to the cost and 2 more weeks).
We recommend 30-mil for fishing boats, since the thicker vinyl is hard to roll up offshore.
Yachts may use 40-mil or 60-mil (even more costly) when the vinyl is seldom (if ever) rolled.
Strataglass® claims a
5 year life expectancy (care & exposure dependent),
but notes that many yacht owners see 10 or more years of use with proper care.
