Of course, TAPS 3T is itself customizable, so riders can mellow out the wakes and waves or beef them up for extra amplitude and push.<\/p>\n<p>Luxury? Tig\u00e9\u2019s signature diamond stitching looks great on all seats and the dash. That seating is comfortable, and customizable, thanks to a standard flip-up backrest in the wraparound. There\u2019s also an optional convertible rear bench\u2014great for watching the on-water action. The Z3 also boasts some of the deepest storage on the market, including\u00a0 engine-locker compartments with Tig\u00e9\u2019s double-up removable trays that create a shelf that\u2019s perfect for wet ropes or handles.
