So here is what i am looking at: <BR> <BR>1997 TIGE 2050 PRE 20' 6" MERCRUISER 350 LOW HOURS (240) SINGLE AXLE TRAILER WAKEDESIGNS TOWER WITH 4 WAKEBOARD RACKS TAPS SYSTEM POP-UP CLEATS TEAK REMOVABLE SWIM PLATFORM SPARE TIRE BUILT IN COOLER TILT WHEEL, DUAL SPEEDO SONY MP3 CD W/TRANSOM REMOTE AND ALPINE AMP GARAGE KEPT. <BR> <BR>$14,900 <BR> <BR>or <BR> <BR>1998 Mastercraft X Star, 21' competition ski boat, 308 hp Direct Drive, only 370 actual hours removable teakwood swim platform, custom trailer, bimini top, and storage cover 18,000
|
308 might not be enough horsepower, if you are going to load it with ballast and surf <BR> <BR>just a thought <BR> <BR>what is the horsepower rating in the Tige'
|
The 308 will be enough with a good 4-blade prop.
|
Xstar
|
Are these boats V drives or direct drives? I thought that all X Stars were V drives.
|
the 350 on the Tige is likely a 350 cubic-inch (rather than horsepower)... My Avalanche has a "Mercuiser 350" and is 315hp, 350ci. <BR> <BR> <BR>That having been said, get the Mastercraft. I have friends with both, and work on both in my shop... Mastercraft is one of the best-built, best-engineered I have been in/on/around. You cannot possibly go wrong with the Mastercraft. The 205 hull that the X-star is built on is one of the best hulls ever produced(in my opinion): fantastic wakeboard wake, <b>extremely</b> versatile , narrow (great for loading it down with ballast), not too big or too small. <BR> <BR>If the hours are a concern, I have found that more hours <i>generally</i> means the engine is going to run better... more use=less opportunity for things to break down and deteriorate.
