Where to get a used tige???

[txmxer]

I know about craigslist, and boat trader. Ive been searching craigslist like crazy. Im looking for a newer tige around 05+, 20v,21v, and maybe even 22v. Lowish hours (maybe will buy one around 200 hours for the right price). Summer is here, and were still searching for a boat. If you know of anyone around California, or even arizona, and nevada please let me know; or any other websites with used boats for sale.

Thank you in advance.

What do you guys think about a 2006 tige 20v, 5.7 efi vortec motor. Heres the descrpition:

Boat has been Garage kept and has less than 50 hours on it. Includes the Extreme custom tandem axle EZ Loader trailer with colapsable tongue. Trailer has custom tires so boat and trailor can fit in 7 foot garage opening. Includes a CD stereo with i-pod aux., Perfect pass Cruise control, Colapseble waketower with swing away racks, Bimini top, Teak platform and a ski mirror..Boat cover, Taps2 connvex V hull. This boat is extremely clean will throw in vests, knee board, all ropes, tube, and wakeboards with a full price offer.

He wants about 32,000 for it.

I forgot to ask the seller, but do these have ballast?

I bet you can get deal on this one. Hey it's even in Texas.

lol that...was a nice boat. Im guessing something happened with the lift....im in california now though.

Any advice on the 20v would be nice guys, seems like the perfect boat. I just wish it had ballast, the 20v would be easier to tow with our truck.

edit: im really starting to reconsider since the 20v has no ballast.

I don't think they started offering ballast on the 20V until 08. I could be wrong. Easily fixed with some Sacs. The price seams pretty close. If I liked it I would start offering at $27k. I doubt he will drop that much but it is worth a try. By the way I love my 20v but, if you are planning on hauling lots of people the 20v can get cramped. That said, we have had as many as 10 on mine.

Don't let the ballast thing turn you away. That is easy remedy.

Well we will have 5 at the least and most likely 6 or 7 pepole on the boat whenever we go out. I just really wish the boat had ballast tanks. At this point I would rather get a 22v with ballast and everything but there are none around.

Those numbers are fine in the 20v. Also, I don't know your budget but you could get a new leftover 20v for around $37k.

If it because you do not want to deal with sacs in the locker, consider that you are highly likely to get hooked on surfing, in which case no amount of stock ballast is enough and you will have to have bags anyways

Yeah theres one dealer thats pretty far with one for sale for 39,000 which seems pretty good, do you know of any other dealers? The local one thats 10 mins away only has rz's and no used boats.

Yeah thats pretty much the thing, how much more will I have to pay for fat sacs, and then how long does it take to fill up/drain compared to hard tanks that a 22v would already have?

[Timmy!]

A 22v with stock ballast is going to be rare too, Tige didn't really start pushing ballast until recently and most dealers didn't order their "inventory" boats with that option.

Price will depend on how much weight you want. It will take a little longer to fill if you are filling each sac individually. You can always plumb your system in and make it automated. Many on here have done it.
