MINNEAPOLIS — September 20 — The Marine Retailers Association of the Americas announces Tigé Boats has joined as an Education Champion.
 
“Tige Boats and ATX Surf Boats dealer networks are strong and competitive, and our commitment to helping them be successful only makes us grow stronger and prepare for even more growth in the future,” said Daniel Gutierrez, President, Tigé Boats Inc. “We’re looking forward to 2021 Dealer Week to develop and build an unstoppable dealer network and grow market share.”

Tigé Boats, Abilene, Texas, started 30 years ago when founder Charlie Pigeon decided recreational boaters required a more unique experience on the water. From Tigé’s very first boat, which was named Rookie of the Year by Waterski Magazine, to the introduction of its wake-shaping technology that has transformed the industry, Tigé has continued to innovate and refine the art and craft of boat building year after year. And Pigeon’s dream to set the bar higher has continued with the launch of sister brand ATX Surf Boats in 2019, the refinement of handling dynamics with its Convex V Hull and advancements to onboard technologies like TAPS3T, GO SYSTEM and ALPHA E3 Powered Tower.

Tigé Boats, one of the fastest-growing surf boat manufacturers and a member of the American Boat Builders Association, has recently expanded to accommodate the booming economy and rapid growth of wakesurfing. Tigé’s 210,000-square foot, state-of-the-art manufacturing facility is another achievement milestone that also proves it is dedicated to the industry and its family of dealers.

Marine manufacturers, suppliers and service providers, through Partner Membership, commit to aligning their brands with the programs and opportunities that MRAA works to provide the dealer body in order to help fuel the success of the industry. Partner support allows the Association to expand its offerings and create a positive, long-term impact in the business of MRAA members.

“We’re excited to add Tigé Boats as an Education Champion with the MRAA,” said Allison Gruhn, Director of Business Development. “Partnership support helps MRAA continue our pledge to supporting the marine industry and dealers in their pursuit of success by supplying beneficial resources and educational tools.”
