Anyone own an "older" Tige?

[fleetpaint]

I have a '98 PRE2100wt that I got in 2002 from the very picky original owner. He took incredible care of the boat and trailer and i now do the same. Neither the boat or trailer has even one scratch what so ever! Always get compliments on the package. Garage kept and wiped down completely after every use and waxed top to bottom every year... bottom of hull, trailer and even the bottom of the trailer is waxed every year. The tower was custom made in 2002 - Tige edition Rat Cage by Wake Designs.. I have since made a custom sloid frame bimini that mounts to the tower just under the speakers. I love the look of the older Tiges and this is probably the best all around slalom/wakeboard boats I have ever seen!!

I would love to see a pic of that bimini top! The one we have is too low.

Easiest way is to upload it to photobucket.com and copy the img code. Paste it here.

Proud owner of a '98 Pre2200iWT. Still has less than 100 hrs on it. Looks like it did the day we bought it. TAPs system is great for slalom and tubing.

Is the hour meeter working?
I had over 250 hours on my boat the first summer we got it.

Alright...thats it...rain should be gone for a while. I'm taking off work early today, unpacking the boat and getting it ready.

I guess a 4 year old boat wouldn't have been considered "old" back when this thread was created...

Here's my '99. Now 12 years old:

1995

I have a 1995 fslm 2002 (teal and purple) that I purchased new. I think it was one of the first Texas boats since it has a TX serial number but is on a CA trailer (Hensley). After 16 years, only have about 150 hours on it . (we put 150 hours on previous boat in 1994.) A little sun fading on one side and a new carb are only indications of it's age.

Now looking to do some updating since only change from stock is bimini top. At one time, I considered adding TAPS system but was turned off by the $2,000 price quoted for parts. Does anyone recommend doing this or should I just add ballast sacs? I would now prefer spending the money to adding weight but don't want to spend this only to find I still need sacs?

Also thinking of adding a tower. Seems like Monster MT1 is popular and folds well? I am also considering Fly High Pro-X stainless steel tower but can't find any reviews on it.

Add Ballast bags to increase your wake. Taps does not increase your wake. All it is, is a trim tab.
