2012 MC X star

[light200]

Interesting they switched from the electric actuator to raise/lower the tower, to a hydraulic actuator. Probably just asking for another problem and mess to cleanup the power unit/tank. Its basically a step backwards imo.

It's not a pretty boat. Neither is the last generation Star...

I wonder if will handle like a heavy cardboard box too as the last one does.

There's nothing about the last X-Star that I love other than the wake and I don't expect this one to be any different.

Here's the truth. I CAN'T WAIT TO HIT THAT WAKE!!

X-Star in the morning. RZ4 in the afternoon.

really, we're gonna talk about this on TIGEowners?

Anyway, I do think they did something unique that looks good IMO with the rubrail.

Interior, yep Nautique

[sincity]

really, i hate to break the news to you, but the first true pickle fork designed boat came along in 1949 in the Gold Cup Hydro's, the boat was named skip-a-long.

I saw the boat up close. The interior color can be debated for sure. However, the fabric or whatever it is was really nice. I liked it alot. Real comfortable feeling. Its very different. The rear head rests I dont like but the rest of the boat is sweet. Of course the lines are all debatable. This is not even close to what I would call a family boat which is what they were looking for I guess. Bad news is I cant afford one nor can I afford a new Tige of any size either. I would rather have 3 gauges than the pop up dash.

icky

that thing is hands down the uglyist boat iv ever seen, for the price that boat should do alot more than float, i guess that gives some of the other low budget boats a better business

[Jeffe]

IMHO, the transformer seats,headrests, fake bronze tan seats and everything about the interior screams "Jersey Shore". The wake is impressive but I'm not anywhere close to a pro level rider, I'll pass.

LMAO!!!

They should name the boat DTF and only let little slutty trolls and Douche's with 6-packs on the boat.

I always like when something is functional and a benefit, like the seats , but how does the hidden guages benefit?

[Fiveflat]

Helps the short Jersey Shore boys see over the dash.

Because Snookie can't see over the dash when the boat is getting up on plane.

Seems like a very niche boat dedicated to wakeboarders, vs a more useable tow sport boat. I wonder how fast the vinyl step up will last on the way to the walk through, basically you have to step on it every time you go through and back, also when you flip the rear seat to look backwards, if are the driver, how do do you get back, again walking over the seats every time. If I only wake boarded and needed a boat with a possibility of 3 (in the bow), 1 (in walk through) 2-3 (rear seat) people looking back at me wakeboarding then it would be worth it, but the necessity for 6-7 rear facing seats seems a little excessive.

I definitely do not like the up and down going dash, only there for looks and when it does fail, which it will you will be hosed. Same thing with the autofolding tower. At last year boat show they had it there, and on opening day, it was programmed to go up and down every 5-10 minutes, 2 hours in the show I walked by and it was fine, 1 hour later walking back by there was hydralic fluid leaking from the piston onto the vinyl, I pointed it out to the MC personell, went back the next day, it wasn't moving at all.

I like the Tige KISS principle for there dash, low profile, simple with digital, but also analog guages.

I actually like the color both ext and interior, but taste on everything is subjective. For 150k, I think a Z3 or RZ2 being pulled by a new Denali would work a whole lot better for the same price if not less.

I kind of like looking at my guages while going on plane, unless somebody hot is sitting in the bow in which case that might be a nice option.

[Duncan]

Check out this vid at 17 seconds -- crazy amount of hull features. The vid also contains more views of riders hitting the wake.


I actually like the orange interior and the flip around seats. I do not understand the riser instrument gauge. To each their own.

[dom w. forte]

I like the stock ballast bag in the walk through at the end of the vid, how much over stock was really there.

[dom w. forte]

What actually took 8 years in the makeing of this boat?
