I would like to see Tige's 20V replacement to help make my decision.
Our 20V meets all our needs with the exception of 3 key issues which are the bow area, vinyl concern regarding interior seams and no passenger grab handles.
If bow area on competitive 20 footers was basically same I would probably not change boats. The grab handle issue is one of more concern and that the main compartment has no grab handles for passengers. I have ideas on how to add one on each side but in retrospect it should have been a possible deal breaker.
If we were looking to replace we still would be in the 20' to 20'6" class.
A Malibu Sunscape 20 LSV would be in the running because of some features, bow area and local service. Malibu Dealers 30 miles away. Tige 175.
Because we are low hours users and are not boarders we also would look at Outback V. Also nearby dealers. We have what I will call dealer alley which has Supra, Moomba, Mastercraft, Correct Craft and Malibu in about 35 miles from home and a total of 8 miles max from closest to farthest dealer.
When Tige was 46 miles away it was a good choice. Now even though there is one 175 miles away by my dads lake it is a pain if I need a fix before we trail somewhere else. This and vinyl are my key concerns and possible motivation to look at others. I also would love driver and observer buckets.
Right now it is kinda of irreleavant with Tige 20V for sale.
