It will be interesting to note how much it costs once you get a trailer and any options on it. The engine is the lower HP engine from PCM, I wonder if the buyer will upgrade that too.

Ya, it's nothing fancy. It is as baseline a Tige as you can find. I would have thought that they would at least put it on a trailer. Don't get me wrong, I think what Tige has done is wonderful. However, I think they might have gotten a better bid turnout had they put more of a package together. When you leave out everything, even the trailer, people tend to shy away. You make it a one stop shop and a few more people might consider it. At least that's how I felt.

[Timmy!]

My guess is that Tige didn't include the trailer because they don't build trailers, they build boats and that would be a direct cost out of their pocket for the donation. This is a HUGE donation on Tige's part to begin with, I don't see any other mfr's stepping up with a donation for this!

Good point.

No TAPS either. Is this not a convex v hull? I thought that the TAPS is what made convex V function properly keep the boat from porpoising at different weights and speeds.

I won the bid on eBay. I've already talked to Tige about upgrades. The boat is not built yet, so I get to customize it. I feel like I got it for a great price, even considering the additional cost of a trailer, TAPS, etc. We are very excited. We are thinking of Red and Black because we are Texas Tech grads.

Also, the R20 doesn't have TAPS standard, but the plate is still there. I believe it is set to the #1 position.

Congratulations! We need pics once it's built and you pick it up. And, if Tige is willing to send you pics of the build process, please post those, too.

[Timmy!]

Congrats and welcome to the site! Definitely keep us posted on the build!

Congratulation on the new boat and helping out a good cause!

Congrats, let us know what you color scheme is gonna be

The TAPS is an option. Although I dont know of anyone who as driven the R20 with the fixed plate, I would highly suggest upgrading to the TAPS.

[douglasl]

I am going to upgrade to TAPS. I test drove a RZR back in August in Abilene. I surfed behind it with factory ballast and TAPS set to 1. I'm a novice at wakesurfing, but it seemed to have a nice wake.

That being said. I want to have the option of adjusting things, so I am going with TAPS and Surf ballast.
