Picklefork

[Lucky 275]

I just read on another forum that Tige' is working on a x-star type picklefork bow. Has anyone else heard this?

Wider bow might make some more room for OEM ballast...

I was told by a reliable source that there are two new model's for '07, both v-drives.



And that's all I know.

It is 12:23 and I am working with a pickle fork, wish it was a little bigger in the front.

[shane]

That is a good enough reason to wait until 07 to buy a new boat!

[Lucky 275]

maybe it'll be a catamaran with a constant double up, in the middle wake.

Lee, how's your picklefork?

[lee]

It started off slow,






But then as the day wore on it became better.

MC took a big step in doing this a few years ago, something different. Look at the ve's, something different. I hope Tige does not dublicate what someone else has already done. For Pete's sake don't do it!!!!!



Who is Pete anyway???

[Lucky 275]

I wouldn't go so far as to say MC was an innovator. They actually duplicated someone else...

[rushin]

I never said innovator. Something different. Why should Tige copy?

[talltigeguy]

I think that putting a picklefork up front would enable you to move the cockpit a little farther forward and get even more space behind the windshield. The open bow would still be somewhat usable.

rushin,
what about the Ve's is different?

Having recently completed demos on a Malibu, MC, Tige 24Ve, and B52 Team Edition...I can honestly say that the MC is nice and roomy in terms of the bow. IT significantly less pleasurable to drive than our new 24Ve. In fact, comparitively, it was a dog. One of the nice things about the 24Ve that we ended up with is that it is roomy, drives great and throws a great wake. As I have said many times, it's always a series of compromises when you buy a new boat...but the MC was a dog...no doubt in my mind. Just my .02

i very much dislike the picle fork idea. to me it looks the book look very very ugly.

A friend of a friend has the X-Star, and without a doubt that boat throws a bad-a$$ wake.. BUT he says he gets a lot of water in from the bow.

Tige should spend their R&D money on interior upgrades, the hulls are fine!

Pickle Fork Design

I consider that look on a boat the "Darth Vader" design.

I like the wheels on that trailer. They look much nicer than what I have. Who makes them and can I afford a set?
