ASR Who's bought one?

[Wickedcummins]

Nothing to dial in.. it simply needs something changed or added to it.

They can price it same as the G23 that market of buyers is SMALL.. So there have to share a small pie.. They price it where 80% of people can afford and the only ones buys a G23 is idiots with too much money. Selling 100 boats at 100 margin vs 1000 boats at small gains with net more Profit and more people will see the boat and want the boat. As it will be more billboards on the water!

its funny because Our lake Gets more and more TIGES every year.. I think there is peobably 60% tiges on our lake now! Think about that for a min =) people see them all over and say **** Why does everyone have that boat.. Maybe I need to look into it and buy one too

I think proximity to the manufacturer has a factor in that. Around here, Tige has struggled with poor dealers who sell fishing boats and pontoons and dont board or surf and they are up against Bu, MC and Skiers Choice all coming from one state over and CC coming up from FL. Freight is cheap for those dealers, so that makes them competitive. All we need is a dealer thats already bought into the water sports lifestyle.

I dont believe thats the case.. We have all major brands a few miles apart here in denver! The mastercraft dealer is only a few blocks from our tige deal and BU is 5-10 miles which also has axis and the other brands are within 30 miles

So I guess the boats Tige ships to CO are just better then the one they ship here and the boats Bu, MC, CC, Moomba and Supra must be better then the ones they ship to CO.

Seriously, the dealer's proximity to the manufacturer does have an impact. This isnt my BS opinion, but what ive gotten from all these dealers, including past Tige dealers. MB is trying to get a foot hold here also, and they come all they way from CA. Dealers pay the transportation cost and in many cases, its passed on to the buyer in some way, its either an itemized charge or its factored into the price quoted to the buyer. If the dealer has smaller transportation costs, he has a larger margin....thus more wiggle room to ink a deal. This is no different from other manufactured goods.

what the hell are you talking about?

I know this is off topic, sorry, but I just want to clarify. ALL of you are saying that the RZ2 surf wave is better than the Z3 surf wave, and you've riden both?

[Wickedcummins]

Sure have ridden both

I don't think everyone says that. But Wicked does. I've not ridden a nicely sacked out RZ2, but would like to.

[Wickedcummins]

Just let me know when you in denver and I will ruin you =)

I cant say that I have ridden a Z3 but I have ridden several RZ2s, RZRs, R20s, Z1s, G23s....The RZ2 was by far the tallest, hardest and longest wake I have been behind. Everyone told me how great a Z1 was and I was not impressed. The RZ2s I have been behind were awesome surf boats. Maybe the Z3 is a great surf boat, but if it lists to a 10 degree angle during cruising like the Z1s I have been behind I would not want one. Im not ripping on the other Tige boats I just love how the RZ2 surfs.

Back on track....I hope the ASR surfs as well as an RZ2(or a Z3 if they are that much better), if so it will be a good setup.

I don't think the goal of the ASR was to be the best surf boat, I think it was supposed to be the best wakeboard boat.

Thank you someone finally stated it!

[Matt Garcia]

I know if I get one I will look at the wakeboard wake first then surf wake second.

I think Tige made it pretty clear what their goal was when they stacked the deck with some of the best wakeboarder's out there and had them help design the boat!
