I'd appreciate anyone's opinion who has experience with both. Both are 2009 models at demo pricing and loaded. I've been able to demo the 210, but not the ZR2 due to it being out of state. I'd be happy with either, but would like to hear from Tige owners - thanks.

What are the prices between the two? They are night and day different in my opinion. For me there are things about both boats that I like and dislike, When I was looking at boats the price of the Nautiques was way out of range for me.
Where are you located? -
These 2 boats are entirely different in just about every aspect - ride (Tige +1), storage (Tige +1), seating space (Tige +1) comfort (Tige +1), Surf wake (not everyone cares, but Tige +1), Wakeboard wake (this is all about opinion, but if you are hard core, CC +1).
What options do they have, especially what tower on the CC? If it has the old FTC tower, then it comes with no board racks. The "Flight Clip" racks are an up-charge and swivels are yet another. The Tige "E" series comes std with swivel racks, and the AlphaZ comes with fixed and swivel racks and a surf fork are available.Mikes Liquid Audio: Knowledge Experience Customer Service you can trust-KICKER WetSounds ACME props FlyHigh Custom Ballast Clarion LiquidLumens LEDs Roswell Wave Deflector And MoreComment

First I usually like to compare apples to apples , 210 is smaller then the RZ2 , as for performance the tige will out perform any CC, and both have the same engines but tige is heavyer, fuel economy , tiges no.1# check boat test .com, vesitilty tige no.1#, drivabilty and ride, hands down CC doesnt even come close , warranty , both good slightly more coverage with CC, durabilty, both good , resale equivalent with an edge to tige in my area, Im close to the CC factory and they dump them at rediculess low prices, which hurts resale values.Comment

CC- TE Package,FTC3, Z5 rack and racks. Options seems to be a wash. We are beginners and will also spend time tubing since there are younger children in the family.Originally posted by chpthril View PostComment

Space, you truly need to visit http://www.fortesonline.com/ in Tampa, FL. Dom above works there and they are hands down, probably the best Tige dealer in the nation.Originally posted by Spacecoast Wake View Post
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.

You REALLY need to go and just sit in a Tige and you will see what I mean about comfort. For a family friendly boat with all the potential of a comp towboat, the Tige beats them all hands down. When you sat in the CC 210, did you notice how your knees where above your hips? Did you notice how low on your back the seat backs hit? When you spend a day on the lake in this boat, you will see what I mean. In a Tige, the cabin depth is much greater. When sitting, your knees are at a more natural position, almost perpendicular to your hips. Due to this depth, the seat backs hit almost to the shoulder.Originally posted by Spacecoast Wake View Post
Bottom line, find a Tige some where to ride. The 22Ve will be almost identical to the RZ2, but almost any Tige will show you the difference between the CC 210 and the RZ2. And just to qualify my statements, this is not the "owners-goggles" talking, I worked last year at a Tige and CC dealer, so I've spent time in, behind, under, and even places where the sun dont shine in most all of the towboats.Mikes Liquid Audio: Knowledge Experience Customer Service you can trust-KICKER WetSounds ACME props FlyHigh Custom Ballast Clarion LiquidLumens LEDs Roswell Wave Deflector And MoreComment

Go see DOM at Fortes
Ok first off no matter what go visit Dom at Forte's. He will be up front and honest. Second I would agree with what everyone has said so far about pro's and cons of the boat. If your hard core nothing but wakeboard I would edge the 210 I have a buddy that bought one at the dumping price the Dom mentioned. However if your looking for a more well rounded boat with a ton more space better ride then the RZ or 22Ve. I would assume with TAPS you could get the wake fairly close to what the 210 would give you with added ballast not just TAPS. The other thing I would say is think more about you and your situation. Is this a family boat, what type of rider (beg, int, advanced). If like me your never going to be more than an int rider and its a family boat thats going to be teaching people to ride and pull tubes go Tige all day long. I have 2002 MC X Star. While it has a legendary wake its not as family friendly as the RZ or 22Ve and no swivel seat for the driver which SUCKS? I am not sure if Dom has an 09 RZ2 I do know he has an 09 22Ve. I just saw it because I have him service my boat even thought its 15 mins further than my MC dealer. Good luck.Comment

I 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.

He gave me the grand tour of the 2010 RZ2 and Tige hit it out of the park with this boat. 2000lbs of ballast so nice hoping to get a pull in the next couple weeks.Originally posted by da.bell View PostHe does have a 2010 RZ2

tampa boat show
Spacecoast
Go to the Tampa Boat Show. Huston Motors will be there with I am assuming a 210 and Dom will be there with the new 2010 RZ and probably a 24Ve. That way you can see both boats right after each other. Of course tuff for a demo. I do know Dom loves to take people out. Good luck.Comment
