Anyone own an "older" Tige?

[malarson]

I have a '98 pre2100wt with 375 hours on it. I love it but I was thinking of upgrading to a new tige. The guy at the dealership said he would only give me $13,000 for it so I guess I'll keep it for now. Heck it's a great boat and I know where every wire in it goes. Why start over.

Does your boat have a locker in the back???
I wish mine did it would be so nice to throw the skis back there.
How is the wake on yours for skiing??

bfrank - It does have a ski locker right behind the rear seat backrest. The lid is the top half of the rear seat back. It is very handy. I only wish they would have turned it around so you could access it from the swim step rather than from inside the boat. Also if you don't secure that lid properly and you start trailering it, it will fly up and break it off.

I wouldn't actually call it a sun deck but you can lay one person across it easily.

The ski wake is great! We are only recreational skiers and our previous boat was an I/O so that is all I have to go by. It has helped my skiing improve. I have pulled some good skiers and they were all complimentary of the pull. But what else should they say?

I have a 1997 2150i. It has somewhere around 1500 hours on it. I live on the lake and use it alot. Here is a picture of the boat with the old tower. I have added a Titan II series tower with lights. I will post the pics later.

I know it's a '00 but it is one of the last of the "old" boats. Wood stringered D-drive flat bottom. It reminds me of "The Road Warrior", "Last of the V-8 Interceptors".

Man that is an awesome picture, I would get that blown up for a poster in my office if that was mine!!!

And to top it off all that glass water!!!! Makes me shake just thinking about it. Where was that picture taken, and is it always that sweet with the water conditions??

[NICKYPOO]

Thanks! This one is actually better. These were taken out at Lake Lahontan last year. I wish the water conditions were like that all the time. However, it is usually all glass first thing in the morning untill about 9:00. This was a Monday so it was even better.

[NICKYPOO]

This was late the afternoon before. Not quite so nice.

[bfrank]

Why is that, every monday morning when I drive past the lake it is guarenteed glass???

[NICKYPOO]

There's hardly anybody on the water on Mondays around here. As long as it aint windy it'll be glass.

I have a 98PRE2200wt. I have owned it for three years. It looks exactly like bhausmann's. Same color scheme. My boat does have the Mercruiser 350 MAG fuel injected engine. I am not sure if that was the first year for fuel injection or not. I do not have a tower but do use a FLY-HIGH extended pylon.

Fuel injection was available on my 97. I chose the upgrade for throttle body injection (TBI). The Multi-port injection was another option available in the Black Scorpion.
