24VE vs. Rz4

[majestic]

There is an New 08 RZ4 and 24ve in the Seattle craigslist.

Da Bell I think they will look familiar to you it looks like all of Capital Watersports boats made it up here.

Those RZs are beautiful boats. My boat took water over the bow a couple of times the first summer I had it. Now it only seems to happen when I'm behind the boat.

There still continues to be some great prices on new and used repoes although it is slowing down just a bit here on the West Coast.

I would agree with that! Our Tige dealer has no 08's and only 1 or 2 09's.

Why yes they do. Took a few pictures of them while they were still at Capital. The only problem now is that we don't have a local Tige dealer

HOLY CRAP BATMAN!!!! The RZ4 was $12k to $13k cheaper in Sacramento

Probably why the haven't sold it yet.

I have not had water over the bow with the Tige yet, but I had a Mastercraft that we took water with alot, and that was why I traded.

Why do the wakeboats take water over the bow? You would think that they would engineer this out of the design if possible.

I am hoping that Tige engineered the 2009 to be more dry. Time will tell!

Has to be shaped this way. Look at your boat from the side, the nose is angled down to allow you to see over it before you get on plane.

I went from a conventional 21' to the RZ2. I'm blown away every time I get on it with the room as well as the performance. Mine has the 343. Before pulling the trigger on one of the 24' boats, I agree you should definately check out the 22' boats. I took out a buddy who is familiar with the mastercraft boats (paticularly the x-star) and was also blown away with the performance of the RZ2.

Does anyone know the reasoning behind the pickle fork? Theres a big debate going on over on WW and none of them really know. I thought I did, but I guess i was wrong.

Geez - I thought it was just because Tige wanted to look like MC.

Seriously, my understanding (which may be wrong) of the reason for it on towboats was basically just to allow more bow seating and space, yet make it fit in the same hull length as a shorter boat.

I think it served a different, performance-based reason when Sanger was putting them out decades ago. For those boats, I think it was to make a tunnel hull or catamaran style for speed and racing. But as it pertains to wakeboats, I'm pretty sure it was just to get a bigger bow seating area on the same length.

X2 - And, if you lok at the seating arangment in the bow, it allows for two chase lounge type seats where my wife and mother-in-law love to sit with their backs against the helm and port side equilvalent and their legs down the seat. It is much more comfortable to do this in a picklefork bow, and Tige desined the seats to accomodate for it. These matters are huge for the ladies.
