RZR and RZ0

[da.bell]

WA, you have some great points. Nautiques do throw a very nice wake as well as a Tige. You might be looking at the 22's IMO. With the extra two feet, you are able to add more ballast to the boat and one great looking weight.

The pickle will make no difference surfing.

Lets take the Ve and RZ2/4 models for example. They all have the same wetted surface, the part below the waterline, so for the most part, the wakes are basically identical. Now, I have heard that many of the Tige Pro riders have noted that the pickles dig into the water and degrade the wake at some point when LOTS of ballast is added. Were talking like 3k + ballast before that would be an issue.

So, for an average boater/rider, there would be no advantage or disadvantage to the pickle IMO.

To add to this, the Tige Pro's have 24Ve's except for Daniel Watkins (RZ4) {this is what I have been told for the most part} However, when I talked with Tino a little over a year ago, he would have riden behind the 24Ve rather than the RZ2.

I just PRAY that does not translate to SHIIIIIIIIITY quality like the V-Ride or Moomba. I wouldn't spend anything on either of those boats. (no offense to owners, just not for ME)

Please, please, please!!!!!!!!!! Don't cheap out just to get people into the boats, IMHO that's a piss-poor strategy that taints the brand. When I was looking for my first boat I stopped at a Malibu dealer and looked at the only boat on their floor-a V-Ride. I had always thought Malibu were really nice boats, until I saw that one!! For 2 years I wondered how in the HECK people thought those junk heaps were high quality. lol I eventually figured it out, but just the same, Malibu did right by creating Axis. Everybody knows it is a Malibu brand but the shoddy quality does not reflect poorly on the VTX, VLX, etc...

Not to get off topic of this thread ..And remmber I am a TIGE MAN TO THE BONE..but I dont know what year V-Ride you looked at but we had an 09 I would have been very proud to own. Very nice boat stem to stern. Its got what I call the malibu flaw..the one thing i cant get past in a Malibu. I dont like that the seat bases are screwed down. I dont think I would own one for this reason alone. Other than that I like the boat 09 V-Ride old VLX hull makes nice wakes and drives nice. Not a big fan of wedge either but half of malibu owners dont even use the wedge they just use more ballast.
Moomba I am with ya. I just dont like to much about them at all.
Back to the real deal. The new boats from Tige are insane. I love the new colors and the fact they have a boat for every budget.

Is it RZ0 or R20? I can't tell from the picture but does the RZR have the same bump out on the rear bench as the R20?

WOW......

That service plus program is a GREAT incentive for someone to buy a new boat. I know I was looking at a used boat and ended up getting a new 09 'cause it came with a warranty, now they are stepping that up and giving worry free boating!? They need to advertise that across the website big-time! And 5 year warranty on TigeTouch screen is brilliant, that was honestly one of the reasons I didn't get the 2010 model. I've seen what happens to LCD touch screens in 3 years on various vehicles and its not pretty. 5 years would have given me more peace of mind about getting touch screen.
