I may be hitting this a little late, but I have a 2009 RZ2. I am not new to boating, but I am new to wake boarding and surfing. I have four small kids (ages 5-12). We tube, swim, board and surf from this boat. We looked at the MC X35, the CC23, the Malibu 23LSV and the Tige. I saw the Tige last and was sold once I sat in it...and compared the price. I saved anywhere from 7k to 15k. I have no regrets. It's great for as a family boat. Most weekends my brother-in-law and his wife and two kids (4 adn 2) are on the boat with us for a total of 10. we have tons of room and never get concerned about a youngster flipping over the side. It's a great all around boat.

I wanted to comment last night but was a little overwhelmed with gaining knowledge of the 210. Wow, that is one nice looking boat but I haven't been in one. I did see the Byerly Edition at the boat show but had way too much bling bling in my opinion. I didn't even ask about the price since I am sure that was higher than I wanted to pay.
The RZ2 does hand great. My previous Tige was the 24Ve and the RZ2 hands like a dream compared to that beast. However, the 24Ve was a very, very nice boat. The RZ2 was and has performed great for my family. Just make sure you can get some ballast into the RZ2 and that wake will grow quickly and be very, very firm.
Forte Inboard is not in Tampa, they're in the next county over closer to St Petersburg (i.e Largo)Comment

No, its Mark's boat and he is getting ready to take it around to dealers and prospective dealers.Originally posted by Nobody View PostComment

Absolutely agree with this comment.Originally posted by eks View PostI have a friend that bought a CC and the biggest difference I see is the finish quality on the CC. I give Tige a 5 out of 10 on the finish quality, and I would give CC a 9 or even a 10 on the same category. The CC quality on parts and specially the finished assembly of the boat, beats Tige hands down.
Now, as far as performance on the water, storage, size, and design, I think Tige is definably better.
For us it was down to the Tige 22i vs. the CC 216.
No question that the fit and finish of the Nautique was head and shoulders above the Tige.
Was at the dealer this summer for a quick prop change and looked carefully at the RZ2 in the showroom and I would say that the Nautique's fit and finish is still head and shoulders above the Tige.
You do pay for what you get and we chose the Tige for a number of reasons including price ($5K less than the CC), size (especially the width), freeboard, handling, TAPS and storage. But it definitely was not for the fit and finish.Comment

You might think the fit and finish looks better, but the CC interior ( and I owned one), nor has my customers, doesnt hold up as good as my tige has.Originally posted by canuck View PostComment

That's good to know as I have never owned a CC so I can't personally compare.Originally posted by dom w. forte View Post
I just notice a lot of the little things that make the CC appear more upscale. For example - gas struts to hold up the storage hatch vs. nothing in my Tige, better hardware especially the latches; snap out carpets etc.
The lack of snap out carpets was really disappointing to me as we traded in a boat with that option when we bought the Tige.
As an accountant, I am also aware that you do get what you pay for and if Tige were to upgrade their components they would need to charge more. To me Tige was a good balance of performance, content and price.
Up here in the great white north our season is very short and I only get to put 30hrs on the boat each season so it was really hard to justify spending a lot on a boat.Comment

The newer boats have the gas struts and the '10 models have snap-out carpet. Problems solved!
