Owners, Your thoughts on your boat. Owners only!

Tige' 21i
-I have a 2003 Tige' 21i with the new hull and i love it.
Test drove and rode behind before bought

Pros
-The wake has been clean regardless of how much weight i put in it.
-Got it cause it had the wake that i liked.
-i got the direct drive because it had more room than the comprable size v-drive
-i really liked the reverse skybox seating in the back.
-It has tons of storage space.
-Gets up and goes pretty quick.
-I really like how the walls are high and i don't have to worry about water coming over.
-nice to be able to trim the nose of the boat up and down in rough water to make a smoother ride.
-Contoured seats in the front are awesome.
-boats really wide with a 102 beam and being 21 feet 4 inches is nice.
-real heavy and feels solid in the rough water.
-Seats are really comfortable too.
-the swim platform is the biggest i have ever seen.
-pop up cleats awesome

Cons
-if you add too much weight to the back the nose of the boat will ride too high (even with taps).
-cooler is too small.
-not sure how good the carpet is
-it would be dificult to add another battery
-it would be difficult to add a ballast pump system without voiding the warrenty (can't put any holes in the boat)
-the factory bemini top could be a little higher

I have the same boat. Love it. I have the Type-R, but I've ripped the big graphic off of the side, and I'm replacing with the limited.

Some mods I've done:
Heater, Shower, Stereo

Some mods that will be done within 4 weeks or so:
Perfect pass, 04 captain seat (with bolster), more stereo work :-)

I also have the 21i limited. I love this boat. It has a ton of room and a great wake. I tested many different boats and rode behind them all and I chose this based on wake, value. The interior is nicer than other boats I looked at, wakesetter, supra ss. The boat handles rough water very well and my wife is comfortable driving it. I wouldn't change anything about the 21i.

Ski pylon does not collapse

Stock prop sucks.
It's not an X-Star
