    Negative Feedback on a Tige!

    What do I have to do!
    I have been trying to get the issues sorted with our tige 20i we are still waiting for a fuel gauge that works, we have been more than patient with trying to get things sorted. And now I'm starting to get angry. Tige needs to take a good hard look at itself, I cannot recommend on of these boats to anyone, with Zero after sale service I might as well have bought second hand.

    Do I need to post pictures of the bad workmanship on this public website!

    So far the issues that we have tried to get sort (with little success)

    Stains in upholstery when delivered
    Cut mark along out side of boat.
    Rear compartment vent scratched on delivery
    Chip in fibreglass near bow fitting (Arrived like that)
    Marking out lines on upholstery
    Rough workmanship causing damage to fittings
    Fuel gauge found not working at all on delivery day
    Fuel sender replaced, but reads empty when half full. (Awaiting correct sender)
    Rudder incorrectly set up, over strokes and takes out the propeller.
    Drivers seat mounting screws loose,
    Top half of mould doesn't meet floor around areas of the front seating and the drivers’ console
    Steering wheel insert falls out
    Boarding platform flexes excessively when used due to no load spreading on the attachment bolts
    Poor fibreglass workmanship
    Rear Tower bolts have no washers or nuts fitted, (I have since fitted some due to danger of tower collapsing)
    Tooling and workshop dust all through hull and engine, (thanks for the snap on sockets!)
    Blower vents into aft of hull not overboard!
    3 months to fix an interior light
    3 months to fix a broken cup holder
    Gas stay mounts loose and rough workmanship in fitting Heater unit with incorrect vents fitted
    Heater vent louvers fall off daily
    Fuel spills from breather vent and damages stickers
    Fuel tank breather Valve fitted upside down (since fitted correctly myself)
    Winch fails on trailer due to incorrect bow fitting.

    The service for Tige is so bad that our dealer has given up with frustration.

        Josh I am sure you are aware I have been in contact with Lena on a number of occasions and that the parts you have requested have been sent to you. We are aware you have had some issues with our former dealer in New Zealand which is why I agreed to by pass them for you. Whilst there should not be any problem with the replaced fuel sender, you requested we send you the same sender as the US specification which we have done, however as we had to source this in the US for you we made you aware this was going to cause a delay in getting it to you. We have almost settled on a new dealer for New Zealand and will keep you informed once they have commenced operations. We have not chosen this new firm lightly and I am sure you will be very happy with the service they will provide all of our New Zealand customers.

          At last I get a reply from you,



          I have just received some large Items from the US that where sent economy mail and they have arrived, they were ordered well after Lena was in contact with you with respect to the fuel sender and sent on the cheapest form of mail possible (shipped). Please note the fuel sender issue was raised the first week we received the boat (over 5 months ago). Given how long we have had to wait, I would have expected that you could have had the parts sent directly to us from the US instead of waiting for your shipment arrived. A week has now passed since you said you sent to NZ from Brisbane and we still do not have it. We do not experience the problems you mention with regards to the NZ postal service with anything else that gets sent to us for business from Australia. And our trailer parts arrived quickly with no problems when we had to fix this also.



          Have you got any resolutions for the other problems that we have with this boat, eg Build quality etc, I sent you photo's and a list of items some months ago and I would like these issues resolved.



          We Look forward to dealing with a competent NZ dealer, I hope that the backup support improves as well.

            The first time I was aware of the fuel sender issue was when Lena contacted me with concerns regarding the service you were receiving from our dealer in New Zealand. I will have Richard from Fleets contact you directly and arrange any rectification work that is required.

            His contact details are
