New Tige Graphics

[ragboy]

We got some new graphics for our 2007 24Ve. These things are SO much nicer in person. Here is a link to some pictures and video.

and a few here.



And here is the video embedded. Now this is one video you should click on to go to youtube and watch in HD.

So what was the damage to your pocketbook?

[ragboy]

1 million dollars.



Many thousands of dollars building wake9 and the videos and stuff, which helped Tige feel they could send them to me for FREE. Gotta love free.

That would look sweet on the back window of our truck.

Yep, it would! But I don't know about $400 sweet... I think that's what Tige gets for those. Even if that's for the whole set that's still over $100... ouch.

Might be better off going to domednumbers.com and having them make you a domed set on chrome vinyl. Not exactly the same... but close to the same illusion.

You can look at some better pictures here.

Serious, I would have easily paid the $400 for them, if that is what they go for. It is no illusion, they may not be steel or aluminum, but they are high quality chromed plastic. They really do look extremely cool, and domed vinyl wouldn't come close. You have to see them. I tried to show them as best I could, but still is not the same as seeing them and touching them. When I first got them, I was like "cool, very nice of Tige". Because the plastic was over the chrome and it dulled them. Those reactions on the video when we pulled the plastic, were not rehearsed or fake, it really did make you go "dude". You know?

Anyway, I am not selling these things, or helping Tige sell them, it was just so that I could put the Tige name back on my boat, since we are featuring it in so many wakesurfing videos and such. I was only planning on doing sides, because I had a wake9 graphic on back, but after seeing them, I decided to rip that off and go for it.

Ok, so those do look awesome. Are they really $400? I'd love to get some new graphics or logos.

Seems like Tige should sell them for less since it is just advertising for them. People love my boat and ask me all the time what brand it is, but since the old stickers were pealing I had to take them off. My guess is that Tige would get a bunch more brand mileage providing them to guys like us who love our boats. People can't believe mine is a 1999 for how it looks and runs!

Nice, very nice.

[dogbert]

I need some new graphics for my boat...my Tige wave motif is really starting to show it's age...

Those are sweet!

[Jason B]

Those are really sweet. I paid about $100 for some crappy white vinyl ones (bigger than those) so $400 for those would be doable.

I know the chrome lettering was about $85 per Tige emblem. That price was last year when CWS redid my vinyl stickers on the outside to the 09 stuff.

[ragboy]

Y, don't quote me on the $400, I just was repeating that amount, I don't know how much they are. But, I haven't seen anything like them before, and they are spectacular IMHO. We are going to be doing about 20 hours of wakesurfing in the next few days, so I am anxious to see how they hold up. Tige told me they have a SUPER strong adhesive, and it sure seemed that way when installing. Yet at the same time, they are not flat, and have decent sized ridges on them that are going to get constantly rubbed on by the water. We will see.

[dogbert]

ragboy, you are the bling master!

[da.bell]

^^^ He is definitely getting into the Nuck-n-Futs bling factor!!!

[majestic]

Tige emblems look great! Are the smaller Wake9 stickers going to be available in the future? I would put a couple of those on my boat.
