New Wet Sounds Demo Boat Tige RZ2

(wetsounds1) · (wetsounds1) **Join Date: Jan 2006** 06-25-2009, 5:29 PM

Just picked up the new demo boat and wanted to share some pics.

2009 Tige RZ2 black and red. We added some custom gel coat with black accents inset on the front vents and black doors for the rear transom.

Custom trailer by Boat Mate. Dual axle with 18 inch black Ballistic wheels with red accents. Trailer is all black with LED running lights, LED landing strip lights that turn on when in the water.

Wrap was designed by me and Mario from Wake Graphics out of Austin. Wake Graphics laid the wrap last week at the Tige factory.

System is factory Tige Wet Sounds system with additional pair of XS-650 and WS-420 for now. We have big plans as I am sure you can imagine for the stereo. So those pictures will come once we get the full blown system in and the LED lighting etc..But that is going to take some time!

Boat came out great. Let me know what ya'll think.

Tim, great looking boat!
What are the plans for this boat, and where will it be kept? Wouldn't mind taking a look in person.

Thanks!

Got some big plans for the system. Working on the tower and a way to get a pair of 485 in the factory locations.

James, if you are ever in Texas, hit me up. We are usually at all the Texas events.

Tim sick boat man I love it. Also Im in love with your truck. Im currently lookin for an 08 or 09 f250 to look just like yours. It looks so badass with the boats youve had behind it.

Keep it up man.

It is awesome, I don't normally like that Tower, but the way it sits on that boat looks amazing. I love the red/black scheme, the wrap is awesome.

Very nice boat, great job. Thanks for sharing.

Tim, your other boat took some time for me to take a liking to and I'm thinking this boat is no different. Definitely different. Question is, will it be louder than the X-Star Chucktronics did up not too long ago out here in Cali. Sound off????

(lancesaville) · (lancesaville) **Join Date: May 2009** 06-26-2009, 1:47 AM

Any pics of your Tige tat? j/k

Crazy boat!! Love the drink holder on the transom, great idea for the R.B.!

(wetsounds1) · (wetsounds1) **Join Date: Jan 2006** 06-26-2009, 6:39 AM

Twitch, truck is for sale!! I have had it for sale for about a month. I am wanting to build a 09 murdered out. As I think that will match the boat. So if i sell it, truck will match even better. Wake Graphics wants to wrap the truck and get the rims powder coated black. But being my daily driver. Might scare the neighbors!

Grant, you will have to come down to Austin for the stereo install help LOL. We can use all the help we can get.

Thanks to everyone for the comments.

Owen at Boat Mate does incredible work. We looked everywhere trying to find the right rims. He was going to custom paint some for me. Then the ones we found were discontinued. So we looked and looked and I found these. Ballistic Off Road wheels. But they are 6 lug. We both loved them, so he made one off axles just to get these wheels to fit.

So huge props to Owen at Boat Mate.

And huge props to Mario at Wake Graphics. He put up with me changing the design many times. I think we were at 17 renderings.

And of course HUGE props to the guys at Tige. The fit and finish on this boat is perfect. And the lines on the RZ and the new tower are killer. Very sharp and angular. Looks very tough.

If anyone sees the boat around, just wave and flag me down. Happy to let you check it out or give you a pull.

Only dropped in the water once last weekend and surfed it. Huge surf wave without a ton of work. 900 pound Factory ballast with 400 pounds pop bags spread 240 surf side and 160 opposite side, plus a sack in the surf side rear locker, 750 pound bag but could only fill to about 500. And 4 in the boat and it was nice and big. Was really happy that it took about 10 minutes and we were on our way. I think with even more weight, it will only get better.

Can't comment on the wakeboard wake yet as I still can't ride after my tendon injury so i will be left surfing for a while but I will get some of the austin crew out behind it and get some wake pics as well.

Tim, why did you down size from an RZ4 to an RZ2?

I think you will find that the RZ2 will maneuver a little better than the RZ4 but it will be interesting how much better it does maneuver. Let us know.

(wetsounds1) · (wetsounds1) **Join Date: Jan 2006** 06-26-2009, 7:07 AM

I loved the RZ4. And it could seat 17 which we had done a few times. But mainly we have 6 people. So RZ2 seems to fit what we do better. Also at shows. It was always fun getting a 24 foot boat on triple axle trailer into a booth. You should have seen the RZ4 trying to get to our booth at the CES show in vegas. It was a site to see. We had to move 3 peoples booths to get it into our spot. RZ2 will fit much better!

Also, we have been surfing more and more. Too many injuries. And the RZ2 will surf with less weight needed. The RZ4 surfs like a monster but the boat is so big, needed a lot of weight to sink it down.

Thanks Tim for all your props in this thread. We here at http://www.wakegraphics.com (design team, video team, and installers) were excited to be a part of this Tige - Wet Sounds project. Lots of positive remarks make us feel quite happy with the end result.

What was unique about this installation? The wrap was installed prior to any decals, moldings, docking lights were mounted. Super clean install. The WG-Tige-WS video is about 80% complete and I will post that once it's finalized on our website.

Wake Graphics is also pleased to announce that we are currently working on a Tige Boat Wrap Program that will be offered five weeks. Keep your eyes peeled for the new Wake Graphics website and cool wrap designs that will be offered on the 2010 Tige Models.

Give us a call or email us if you have any questions regarding boat wraps.

Thank you Wet Sounds (Tim),
Thank you Tige (Charlie, Danny, Rick & Tony),
Thank you Wake Graphics (Mark, Matt, Jeff and JD)

See you at a lake near you.

Not my cup of tea as I like lighter colors, but I love most boats that are wrapped. I would like to see it with the windows tinted dark.

It does not however, flow so well w/ the Ve series boats.

Tinted it 2 days after I picked it up but these pics were taken at Tige the day we finished the boat and wrap.

I plan on getting some pics on the water soon and some with the tint. It looks really sweet on the water.
