Do You Understand My Excitement?

[brose]

As a new TO member I want to share the excitement. I went from a 1995 Ebbtide 190SE to a 2005 Tige 24V. I'm stoked! Pics of each boat below. In the 3rd pic my wife and I are breaking in the Tige with a bottle of champagne given to us from a good friend...

Huge upgrade, you will love it! Looks good! I did a simialr thing in October.

[Jeffe]

You guys should break the boat in a different way...if you know what I mean

Congratulations

A great philosopher once said: 'Do you feel like I do?'

I can respond, yes I feel like you do!

Congrats, very nice looking boat. Good times are ahead for sure.

You'll only like the 24v if you have friends (you'll have a lot more), kids, dogs, in-laws, and complete strangers.

We also made an upgrade from a 1989 VIP 19'I/O to a 24ve 3 years ago. We really loved the old boat-had it 5 years....but the Tige is better IN EVERY WAY.

Only things I would suggest:
-Fresh Air Exhaust (FAE)--search this site for lots of testimonials and install instructions
-learn how to maneuver this beast--esp in reverse and around dock. Throw some life jackets out in the water on a call day and practice sideling up to them from multiple angles.

Welcome

Congratulations! I also did a similar upgrade this year

[rushin]

Congrats. Thing for red huh? Looks good, I have always like those graphics.

Murphini, it came with FAE, so I've got that one checked off already... I love how quiet it is. Reverese has proven to be a problem already!!! I'll get there in due time. I'll just tell my wife I need to get to the lake every day to practice some more.
