how does the new malibu vlx and the new 24ft tige compare. Which one has a better wake.... i can buy any one i want.. does anyone know which boat is the best one for the buck..? any pics of either??

You are not comparing apples to apples with the 24v and the Vlx. You are better off comparing the vlx to the 22v and the 23lsv or 24lsv to the 24v. The wake is all personal preference as is the boat itself. The best advice I can give you is to actually get in the boat yourself, and ride behind the boat to see which one you like best. <BR> <BR>Also a little point of advice: you do not need to start 5-10 different threads on basically the same subject, just tie them all together and you will probably get a better response. <BR> <BR>And to answer your wake question about the vlx in another thread, I personally like the wake best with all factory ballast full and the wedge, and about 6-10 people.

uhhhhh, no brainer the 247. I have been on the 247 and it is pimp, the surf wake being insane. QPR, might be individual preference.

uhhhh, no brainer on the 24ve. I have been on the 24ve and it is pimp, the surf wake is insane. QPR, might be individual preference. <BR> <BR>Ignore posts #3 and #4 and read Chris Brown's post again. More helpful. <BR> <BR>(Message edited by justridin on October 20, 2005)

Are you looking for a great wake or room in the boat? How many people are usually in your boat? The wake is sick on the VLX---and the resale should be better.

I don't know, the Tige 24Ve is very nice. Actually they are both very nice boats and you would be happy with either boat. Do a little research on the dealers and make that a big factor in your choice. A bad dealer can make a great boat seem like crap if you have problems. <BR> <BR>BTW, my local Tige dealer is very good. They really care about keeping customers happy.

just ride them! Both of them as close together as possible. I was sure I wanted a correct craft 211 team, but once I rode the malibu vlx that I was kind of thinking would just be a backup choice I knew that's what I wanted. <BR>Just try to put the two trials as close together as you can so you can compare them better.
