Nice ride, I love the color. I use to hate yellow but it's really grown on me. Hope you have countless hours of fun with it this summer.

Very sweet. I think Tige makes very good boats. It is good that they are very happy with it. It's all about finding the right boat for yourself.

Your going to love it, our 22V has been awesome!

just got back from the boat show at the fairgrounds and tige really does have a nice product going for them. everything was very well fitted and of high quality. i like how tige made a unique tower without making it useless and ugly like some of the other manufacturers are doing.

i think the tower of power is their name for the tower speakers...

Thanks for asking ..

Synchrotech refers to the gear reduction ratio of 1.5 to 1 which is available in the V-drives only .. Essentially what this does is allow you to swing a larger diameter prop with more pitch .. On the 22V with the 335 HP MPI for example, it allows for the use of a 13.5 x 16 four blade instead of a 13 x 13 three blade .. Basically it means that when your engine is turning 1500 rpm then your prop is turning 1000 rpm .. engine rpm of 3000 equals prop rpm of 2000 .. 4500 engine rpm equals prop rpm of 3000 rpm .

The Tower of Power includes the Clarion Marine CD, Sirius ready, 12 component tweeters and mid-range speakers, driver remote, power amps, subwoofer, and component tower speakers .. A very nice system .. We typically add the digital transom remote control unit on all of our Tige's ..

We are getting rave reviews on our new Tige's here in Pickwick Dam, Tennessee .. And we appreciate all inquiries, comments, and questions .. Our goal is to try to help folks to decide which model is best suited for their family use .. Lots of good tow-boat options available these days .. And we feel that we have excellent and very versatile products with our Tige' line-up ..

We are located right where Tennessee, Mississippi, and Alabama all come together. Right at the Tennessee River and The Tennessee Tombigbee Waterway .. Lots of watersports enthusiasts of types and ages here ..

We are your new Tige' Dealership here and we are currently stocking the 22V, 24V, and 22i models .. We also have the Sky Ski's in stock ..

Thanks ..

wow... welcome to the club! I picked up my red/black/red 22v on March 30th, and now have 24 hours on the boat! Now if I could ever get around to cutting the grass...

Oh, and I can guarantee you he paid more than 45k for that!

Pick, thanks... I thought long and hard about the colors I wanted, and finally decided to do something different. Red & Black is one of my fav combos, so I went with that. I didnt go with the factory ballast, but I'm about to add 1400lbs of sacks. I also got it stereo delete, but from what you're saying, you've probably read my stereo posts too. Very Happy

Anyways, I went with the 350 MAG MPI, synchrotech, 4-blade acme, perfect pass (DO NOT buy a boat without this... especially when you're the only one that knows how to pull a wakeboarder at a constant speed!), black tower, TAPS2, center bow cushion (I call it the "Heff pad"), stainless windshield uprights, stainless rubrail, tandem axle roadmaster trailer w/ brakes, and all the now-standard Tigé stuff- like pull out cleats, extended platform, LED courtesy lights, and speaker cutouts./

I was actually considering the 24v LTD that was used for the 2004 catalog (white, pewter, grey), but it wouldnt fit in the garage. I think they still have it at the ski dock.

Ruune,

How do you like the SS windshield up-rights ? .. we have them coming in on a couple of our boats .. They look pretty snazzy to me ..

Also what is your WOT rpm & speed ?

Thanks ..

Ruune · Posted: May 06, 2004 5:21 am Post subject:

SS uprights really set off the interior- I got them to go with the SS rubrail. WOT top speed with the MAG MPI is between 43 and 47, plus it varies on where the TAPS is. I'm going to clock it w/ a GPS this weekend so I know how precise the speedo is and so I can calibrate the Perf. Pass speedo (had to reset the comp). Peak RPM @ WOT is 5k- I've noticed if you back off just a hair to 4800, you can tell where the peak is.

Thanks Ruune .. Sounds good .. and I totally agree with you on the SS WS uprights ..
