Have you tested one? Also, have you tested any other brands that are the same size and price range? If so, then you should know if this is the boat you really want.

Tige 24V... good choice. I just ordered a new boat.. but I could not get the deal I wanted a new Tige. We were thousands of dollars different on the difference I wanted to pay after my trade. I have always liked Tige.. and I am a very fussy buyer. I call everyone before I buy a boat. One of the people I called were some of the people at Waterski and Wakeboard Mag. Their favourite in the Tige line was the 24V... if that means anything to you.

Thumbs up from a 22V owner that is still pondering the "Should I get a 22V or 24V question" 3 months after getting it. I lounged in the 24V at the Atlanta Boat Show.

greg - i've looked at everything else in it's "class" and imo it wins on every front. i am sure that this is the boat that i really want. my face hurts from smiling! i'm jst wondering if there is one thing that someone doesn't like about the boat that i am overlooking. jst curiousity more than anything.
kyle - that is good to know for sure.
bill - same thing here! 22v?....24v?....22v?...

Haven't been in one on the water but have looked at it several times up close. Great boat, tons of room, etc. Tige has really come a long way in the last 3 years.

The only thing I have ever heard about the newer interiors of the Tige's that people would want to add... is the use of the gunnel for smaller things like gloves... suntan lotion... etc... just pockets or webbing for some of the little things that get used in a boat. Oh and one other things... which I don't know if it applies on your model... bot the location of the switches... some are located behind the steering wheel above the steering column... makes it difficult to press a switch on the fly...

ENJOY YOUR NEW BOAT!!!!!

BR, there will always be something about a boat that someone doesn't like.

It sounds to me like you really want the 24V. That should be all the justification you need.

Go buy it and don't look back.

The Tige 24V is a great boat. The room inside and storage areas are unbelievable. Un-weighted with 4 or 5 people the wake is big. 3 or 4 people with 1500 to 1800 lbs and it's huge! Can't say enough about this boat. I loved the ride and the interior as well as accessories are done very well.

why is there a 7k differnce in MSRP? I dont get it, the base model price should be a single price, not a range. Can someone explain that to me?

BR, I am sure you have seen me at Standley before. I am pretty much there every day after work and every weekend. As far as the 24v is concerned I have only talked to one owner about them. He got it last year and was dissapointed in the way it handled. He still loves his boat, but was hoping it handled a bit better. He said it was sluggish, but heck it is a huge boat. He had a 21v before that and I don't think he quite new what to expect from a larger boat. Congrats on the new purchase and I am sure we will hook up this summer. If it ever gets here.!!!

Hey all - thanks a ton for the feedback! i did order the new boat yesterday. it was soo much fun "building" my new boat! my 22i i bought of the floor so i didn't get to pick every detail out. i went with black hull and main panel and a storm grey deck and that will be the color of the interior fiberglass as well. beyond that i pretty much loaded the boat up. there were some things that i had questions on and my dealer gave me awesome honest feedback so some stuff i passed on. it's suppose to be here at the end of march and i can't wait! thx again all! andrew - flag me down at standley or drop me an email when the season rolls around. i'll also be there tomorrow around 8am to get my pass.

hey ron - i think the 7k difference is if you want it plain or if you want it supersized. there really are a ton of things you can add. and i mean a ton!

BR,
Congratulations! I can’t wait to see (i.e. ride behind) the new boat. Between you and Craig's new Tiges, I am going to be the luckiest boat mooch this side of the Rockies!

Congrat’s again,

BR,
The little one is doing great! Growing like a weed. I can't wait till she can ski/board! We should all get together for dinner sometime soon!

Rob
