The ATX Surf Boat Build Process
Every ATX Surf Boat is built by the same hands that build Tigé Boats—the same craftsmen, the same process, the same obsession with quality. We just removed the extras so you can get on the water without breaking the bank. No compromises on what matters. Just pure, unfiltered wake boat excellence that lets you focus on what you're really here for: more days on the water, more sessions with your crew, more memories that matter.
Same Factory. Same Standards.
ATX Surf Boats roll off the same production line as Tigé. Same state-of-the-art factory in Abilene, Texas. Same quality control standards. Same meticulous build process that's made Tigé legendary.
So, what's the difference? With ATX Surf Boats you're getting a boat that rips without the premium price tag. We kept everything that makes a wake boat excel — pro-level surf waves, rock-solid engineering, serious power and designed it around simplicity. Fewer custom options, streamlined layouts, and efficient production.
Hull Construction: Built to Last
Your hull is the foundation of every session, every adventure, every memory you'll make. It's what's between you and the water when you're pushing speed, loading ballast, and sending it in choppy conditions. We don't cut corners here—4 days of cure time, high-strength resin, premium fiberglass, and a gel coat finish that can handle whatever you throw at it.
This is the same lamination process that goes into every Tige. The same materials. The same attention to detail. Because a boat's only as good as what it's built on, and we build ours to handle anything, season after season. That means fewer repairs, less downtime, and more confidence that your boat will show up when you need it to—whether that's opening day or the last session of the season.
Waterproof Electronics Built for the Water
Every wire, every connection, every switch in your ATX is engineered to handle the marine environment. We're talking waterproof-enclosed electronics, sealed connectors, and components that are tested to work flawlessly whether you're experiencing 100-degree days or near-freezing mornings.
Our wiring harnesses use the same Deutsch connectors and Enovation control systems as Tige—because when you're out on the water, reliability isn't negotiable. Your ballast system, your surf system, your gauges—they all need to work, every single time, so you can focus on throwing down, not figuring out what's broken.
Power You Can Count On
Every ATX is powered by Indmar Marine Engines—the same engines trusted by Tige - one of the biggest names in watersports. Indmar's been building marine engines for over 50 years, and they know what works.
A dedicated Indmar technician personally tests every engine before your boat leaves the factory. No exceptions. The engine is the heartbeat of your boat, and we don't let anything roll out that doesn't perform exactly the way it should. When you fire it up on day one—and every day after—you need to know it's going to turn over, pull hard, and get you where you're going.
Comfort That Holds Up
From early mornings to late nights, your boat’s seating sees it all—sun, water, and a steady stream of riders climbing in and out between sets. You shouldn’t have to question how well it holds up. With ATX, you don’t. We use the same marine-grade vinyl as Tigé: UV-resistant, fade-resistant, and built for life on the water.
Quality stitching, antimicrobial foam, materials engineered specifically for the marine environment. We might keep the layouts simpler, but we don't compromise on the stuff that needs to last.
Wake Boat Quality Control and Inspection Standards
A dedicated Quality Control Engineer follows your ATX through the entire build process. They're checking, testing, and inspecting every step of the way to make sure everything meets our standards.
Some manufacturers skip this to save time and money. We don't. Because cutting corners on quality control is how you end up with problems on the water, and that's not how we do business. You're trusting this boat with your family, your friends, your best days of the year. That trust is earned through obsessive attention to detail at every single step—and we don't take that lightly.
On-Water Watersports and Performance Testing
The factory floor is just the beginning. Every ATX has to prove itself where it actually matters—out on the water. We lake test every single boat before it goes to the dealer.
Ballast systems, surf systems, handling, performance—everything gets put through its paces. If it doesn't perform the way it should, it doesn't leave our factory. We do the testing so you don't have to. Simple as that. Because the first time you load it up and hit the throttle shouldn't be a test run—it should be the start of an epic day.
Built by the Best
The people building your ATX aren't just ATX employees—they're Tige Boats team members. Many have been building boats for 15, 20, even 30+ years. They've seen every innovation, solved every problem, and perfected every process. Every person who builds your ATX takes the same pride in their work as they do with every Tige. Because a boat with your name on it deserves nothing less.
That kind of experience doesn't come cheap, but you get the benefit of it without paying the premium price. Because when you buy an ATX, you're getting decades of boat-building knowledge in every hull—and that means a boat that performs like it should, holds its value, and keeps you on the water doing what you love, season after season.
