Actually, I think Tige is pretty stagnant growth wise. They do look pretty good, but not only do they not sell as many wakeboard boats as MC, BU, and CC, but they are the only one of the four that doesn't sell a competitive boat for the ski market. Sure that market is small, but it is good for another couple hundred boats a year. Maybe you'll see a little improvement in sales with the Life+10k, but they are going to have to move a long ways to be "on top!"

According to the last sales numbers mastercraft and malibu were 1 and 2 and within a few boats of each other followed by skiers choice (supra/moomba) at 3 and Nautique at 4, so for tige to overtake Malibu it has a long long ways to go...

Tige has made a big effort to find out what the riders want. I think this is going to pay off in the next few years. I can't wait till I can move up and sell the 21i and get a 22v.

I am just glad they changed the tower on thier boats. I hate the tower on my 2001 20i. I had to replace the top peice and metcraft sent me a new top with the 2002 board racks on it, but I still think my tower is ugly. Atleast it gets the job done.

hahaha Wes, my friend Cory has a 2002 FSLM. When people ask him what model and he tells them a "2002 FSLM". They say "what is an FSLM, I thought it was a 20i or 20v, or I have never heard of that model in a 2002". Kinda of funny, puts a nice wake out though with a fat seat and some fat buddies. We are going out on Saturday to decker lake in my friends 2k1 22I R. I have never been behind the type R and I am looking forward to trying it out.
