    Tige R20 vs. Moomba Mojo 2.5.

    I got a look at the new Moomba Mojo 2.5 and I was pleasantly surprised when comparing the two boats. The R20 although nice is Tige entry level vs. MOOMBA entry level pickle for less money, more room, cool tower, cool color schemes and more features including a ski pylon, interior grab rails , platform entry grab rails as well as other key standard features for lower MSRP and out the door $$$.
    Tige 5.0L vs. MOOMBA 5.7L.

    Will the Mojo give the R20, FOR and maybe the PS2 rain for the money for the weekend warrior?
    Taxman got all the money :(

        R20 is a entry level WAKEBOAT.Tige makes inboards to ski behind.R20 is a 20ft boat with a 94" beam that seats 12 and handles like a razor.The Moomba is a 22'6" boat that has a 99" beam and seats 16.I would demo both boats and you may find you like one better than the other regardless of price.The Moomba has a 50 gallon tank as compared to the Tiges 38 gallon tank.I bet that is because the Tige is much more fuel efficient .Fuel is the single biggest expense next to buying the boat.The R20 does come standard with ballast and 12 cup holders.Demo both and compare wakeboard and surf wakes.Good luck!

          They are very different boats that will drive and ride differently. Just like Robert said, try to get on the water and ride the wakes of both boats to see and feel the difference and make the most informed decision. The size of the mojo is closer to an RZ2 or Z3 so that would be a more comparable wake and people capacity.

            When you test drive, note the driving position, seating, vinyl and materials quality, etc. Moombas are nice boats and the mojo is a bigger boat but its like comparing a Chevy to a BMW. Put boards in the racks, operate the cruise, open the compartments and really look at the attention to detail on both. Tige listens to the feedback on this forum and makes changes to the boats accordingly so that you get a more polished boat than the competition.

                  Excuse my typos in first post. I was wondering if the Mojo would give the R20, RZR and the RZ2 a run for the money.

                  I agree Tige has improved their quality. No doubt in my mind. To go along with these quality improvements Tige has had significant MSRP increases.

                  A 20 foot R20 MSRP for "Entry" level boat is higher than the Mojo which is marketed as entry level. I would pay premium dollars for a BMW that is used more than 8 days a month but for the weekend warrior I am not sure the comparison is fair.

                  As to wakes the average weekend users do not need championship class wakes.

                  Gas tank volume is not a measure of economy. Hull design, wake, speed and use all affect gph. Vortec vs. Vortec. With motors using basically same block and weight of boats being similar PCM vs. INDMAR are not going to have significant difference worth premium dollars. I have to admit on Tige non-stop level models they finally look like they fixed a lot of fit and finish issues, lousy vinyl and more on the non entry level on-boards.

                  Tige makes a good product true but in my opinion it is not worth 10-20k more when you compare key things important to especially a weekend warrior.


                  Have a good day and enjoy spending $65k or more for a weekend boat.

                    Quality is Masterercraft, Malibu,Supra, Nautique.
                    Tige is well built, but is it the definition of Quality?
                    Does bling equate to quality?
                    Moomba builds a very good boat for the price.

                    Tige<>BMW in the boat world and neither is Moomba.

                      I didn't even come close to spending that much money on my 2011 R20, and I got tons of upgrades.

                        Typical troll. Knows alot about nothing.

                        Get an education about what what you are talking about. Your comments are a dead giveaway.

                        I suggest looking at Bayliner. They are a great weekend warrior boat at a great price.

                        Thanks for playin.......

                          You can't be naive enough to think comments like this will be well received in this forum. You came here asking for opinions and advice, and there are a lot of people here who will gladly provide their input. However, keep making comments like this, and you can rest assured that this thread will quickly take a different direction.

                          I am fighting the urge, but I can not resist... You put Supra among the "Big 3", yet you question Tige's quality. What specifically equates to quality in your opinion, and what "bling" are you referring to on a Tige that may be misinterpreted as quality?

                          I do see that you own a Supra, so you are just as biased towards your Supra, as we are about our Tiges, which probably explains your choice to put it in the same class as the Big 3.

                          I think the line gets blurry comparing one manufacturer's entry level boat to another, especially Moomba and Tige. The analogy made by Timmy, of Chevy and BMW, was not insinuating that Tige is the BMW brand on the water, he was simply trying to say that you are comparing apples to oranges. In my opinion, Moomba, as a brand, is entry level into the world of inboard ski boats. You may not share this same opinion, but I would bet most of the Tige owners would agree with me. Tige has made leaps and bounds in improving their boats. I would not be surprised if in the near future, Tige is biting on the heels of the Big 3.

                          I can't speak intelligently to Moomba's build process or warrantly, but I can about Tige. So here are just a few things Tige offers and how their boats are built.

                          Lifetime Hull Warranty
                          5 Year Gel Coat Blister
                          3 Year Bow to Stern
                          Tige 360 Service Plus - 3 Years of No cost servicing

                          Tige Decks are One piece molded fiberglass. This means the entire deck from the helm, the seats, storage areas is all one piece and not separate pieces that are screwed to the deck. Then the one piece deck is fused to the hull with more fiberglass and not simply screwed together like other brands.

                          Wake versatility - With the ConvexV hull, the Taps system, and the option to have 2300lbs of ballast from the factory you can set the wake for the beginners to the experts in wakeboarding and wakesurfing and have an enjoyable slalom for the recreational skier.

                          All that being said, to each his own. The best you can do for you and your family is to take each one out on the water. Don't just drive it and look around, load it up for a day on the water. Do everything behind the boat you plan on doing as a family. Then justify to yourself which one fits your family best in terms of price, dealer service, overall fit to your needs, and how much you will use the boat.

                          Good luck in your decision, I hope you and your family are happy with whatever boat you purchase.

                            You'll get that extra 10% back when you sell the boat. Go price compare MasterCrap and be sure to bring a landing pillow.

                              Sounds like sour grapes to me.A Supra owner who can't afford a new Supra,so he vents on a up and coming Boat company like Tige.Instead of venting to Skiers Choice .FOCUS on what your upset about.Vent on the Supra forums and stop wasting our valuable time.We save that time for Boat Enthusiasts thirsting for valuable information to help in their decision.Your not even comparing similar boats.
