Let's see I've bought 2 Tiges and several of my friends have bought them too.How many have you bought? It doesn't take a genius to see who's just talking .You just don't like someone who doesn't have the same opinion as you and won't kiss your a$$. I don't suck up to everyone on Wakeworld . I express my opinion,just like you. People read these opinions and make decisions. This is a forum for discussion,if all you do is criticize others new members won't be able to learn.I'm not saying my opinion is right,but your saying it's wrong. I'm saying let the readers decide who they want to learn from.;)

Sorry I missed you Robert. I'll shoot you a PM tomorrow with my number for the next time you are passing through. I would have gladly had you out on the boat today. You missed some really great water and nearly perfect weather, for Texas at least.

Anyway, I just got home and am pretty exhausted so l'll wait til tomorrow to reply to your post so that you can reply back and further entertain everyone on here. Surely that's your intentions.

Before you continue, I have a question about the color of your boat. What color blue is that and would you go with that color again?

I fail to see any learning value in a talking head with absolute bias...

This has nothing to do with difference of opinion, let me clarify for the second time. It was me that brought up Tiges quality might be higher than the poor quality control stuff that Malibu suffered through recently. You are too busy being on the defensive playing the cheerleader role for Tige to actually understand what side people do or don't sit on, or actually discuss facts instead of falling back into circular logic. I have bought zero Tige's, and your posts aren't pushing me any closer. Well done yet again...

It's Pacific Blue and yes if I was going to buy again I would choose it again.My first Tige was Navy/Graphite/Stone and White.

these threads entertain me to no end.

Why is it your opinion is the be all end all of opinions?Why is it you are not biased if you think Tige has better quality than Malibu? Why is it you say i'm defensive? I am just showing there are 2 sides to every discussion. For that you think I'm flawed. That's why there are prosecuting attorneys and defense attorneys. That way everyone gets to hear 2 sides to the story. Then we can let the jury decide if the manufacturers are guilty as charged. Hopefully I can defend them and they will be proven innocent.Maybe that's why I'm in sales and not a Lawyer?:confused: Anyhow I will defend ANY manufacturer I don't think is getting a fair shake. Remember I have owned multiple brands of boats with cup holders in the floor for 20 plus years. If that's not speaking from personal experience,I don't know what is?:banghead:

Wow...

My opinion is not the end all be all, and I never said it was. I find it funny your questioning my Tige bias based on my comment when:

1. I am the one telling you to cut the Tige crap even though I pointed out they might have an edge

2. My comment is based on industry knowledge, not some talking head bs

You are defensive, the fact you started that post with three questions thrown back at me clearly shows that. I don't recall anyone not giving Tige a fair shake, yet you continue to spew forth with circular logic and unneeded defense. Cut the crap. Tige makes a great boat, we ALL know you love yours, let it go. Why anyone makes it a personal quest to defend a product they paid for to this level on an internet forum is beyond me. The fact you are comparing this to a trial speaks volumes as well...

I can see you know everything(because you said so). I'm just a bunch of BS with more boating experience than you,but that doesn't count for anything. Why? Because you said so! It's your world am I'm just a Internet pain of yours you just can't leave alone. I'm HAPPY. Are you?:confused:

Where did I say I know everything? PLEASE quote that for me. Between your circular logic and this last post, you remind me more of some of the women I have dated than fellow boaters I have spent time with...

Interesting to see where your mentality goes once you get called out.

Perfect. If Tige and the OP's friend looking to possibly pick up Tige were smart, they would buy you a new Malibu in this same color each year in exchange for your Tige. This would be a great use of marketing dollars as it would surely help to cripple Malibu sales...

I really don't think whatever I own will cripple any of the manufacturers sales. I have never stated anything about Tige that you or others haven't.The main difference is I'm the same man on WW as on TO. I have never said Tige was perfect only the best all around boat. I look for positives in every product,some people look for negatives. My opinions are unreasonable to you from what you've posted. Have you seen me post anything about anybody(other than Obama) that was negative? The OP asked for opinions about how Tige would compete with Malibu. I have expressed mine and you have expressed yours. Let's just leave it at that.

Is your second screen name Houstonshark or Mattiek27?LOL

You ought to have your buddy check out Ski Supreme. This small but old comany has been building a V226 pickle fork to compete with the rest of the big guys at a vaue that can't be beat. The company may not have the flash of big name Wakeboarders and skiers getting free boats saying great things but VALUE for the buck hard to beat.

I wonder if I make up enough unsupported hate for my '99 21V Riders Edition will Rick offer me a new RZ2????

I wonder what the reputation really is of my boat? It's old but it's never let me down... entirely.

Nice looking boat!

So I'm curious after all the drama, has the OP's friend decided which route to take?
