New 22v

[cpropes2005]

After a long search I finally found the boat I was looking for and am joining the Tige family. It is an 2003 22v with the 380hp motor. I am super excited about it and just wanted to share. On the to do list for the winter is a ballast system, perfect pass and maybe some custom graphics. I have done a lot of research but is there anything in particular about this boat/motor to watch out for?

The tower is so tall that I doubt the speakers were flipped for headroom. I bet that they flipped them because the bimini could not be set up with the speakers there. But on my 2005, I was able to do it, you just have to figure it out. IIRC, I unfolded the bimini, pulled it down into the boat, then straightened it out, then moved it into position and tied it down.

I think the speakers on top are cute..sort of like Mickey Mouse ears, if they were black.

Great looking boat, good times are ahead!

Congrtas on the new boat. Funny thing when I bought mine the speakers were flipped up as well. Lol. What are your graphic ideas? Im in the process of wet sanding mine right now and will be doing new graphics as well. Enjoy.

Thanks all! There are a few really small scratches and one ding in the rub rail but both the interior and exterior were way cleaner than any of the other boats I looked at in my price range.

Lol about the tower speaker. That will be the first thing I change. Not a fan of the on the top look and I typically leave my bimini up all of the time anyways. I only trailer in the subdivision and I have an over the tower cover which on my last boat the bimini actually helped support it a little to prevent water pooling up.

Really not sure what I am thinking about on graphics. I like clean and simple but it is just a little too bare right now. I almost picked up a pair of the raised Tige chromax decals when they were 25% off on Monday but changed my mind since I am still not entirely sure what I want to do with it.

Somebody had to say something about the speakers, thought it mise well be me

Im on the computer now, and WOW!! that gel coat does look great!!! Leaving it as is wouldnt be out of the question if it was my boat.
