Tige 24v wave is legendary!

Sting' your 24V might be the best looking 24V I've seen

Is the interior white/grey?

Tahoe's a big lake. We're over on the North Shore off Tahoe City.

Be cool to see that boat in person..check out your wave

That lake is full of M a l i b u' s and Mastercrafts. The Mastercraft dealer is right in town and all the wealthy lake front folk will only own Malibu's. Mastercraft's and there's at least a zillion Cobalts.

Don't see too many TIGE boats

Here is a pic of the interior from the survey when I bought it.DSC01744.JPG

The seams on the seat bottoms were coming apart when I bought it but Whitlock on here hooked me up with his vinyl guy. It was $530 for all the seat bottoms in the rear. Really happy with the work for the price.

I hope to do the rest of the vinyl at some point (bow and seat backs). I think I like the 2005 interiors better than the 2004 but I haven't seen an 05 in person. There are two black vinyl spots one behind the driver and one on the port side and they get boiling hot in the sun. I am not sure if I will stick with the red and black accents or not when I redo the rest of the vinyl at some point.

We are staying down on the south shore keys area Aug 2-9th. Hoping to get some good surfing in before the legendary tahoe chop kicks in. I have never been on Tahoe so we are really looking forward to it.

decals.jpg Here are the decals not sure why its rotated but the original pic I uploaded was wrong. The Penske Composite decal is actually on the port side right above the Taps2 decal. The stick in the picture was actually the Made in the USA sticker.

2003 was the first year for the hull redesign. The 22v was released first with the Penske Xtreme stringers and taps 2. The 24v was more like a 2003.5 release as there were some 23v that year.

Yes. All the 24v and 22v models will have the new hull design for the TAPS 2 (convex V hull) with the Penske Xtreme stringers which IMO are the best stringers out there. Wished they still used them.

VS

2003 still had XL and 2004 was composite

So which is correct? Was the 2003 24v made out of wood or composite?

Well I got my 2003 Tige 24V yesterday. Thought I would maybe solve the mystery of the Stringers and Taps version. Well the Taps sticker does not say Taps 2, but it is a Lenco actuator w/ dog-eared tabs so probably an early version of Taps2. As for trying to figure out the stringers, I looked at the paperwork and there are actually 2 warranty sheets in the paperwork. One for XL panels and one for Tige Lifeplus. The Confusion continues!

I did notice that the floor section over the gas tank is made of wood (the carpet is coming apart at the front edge of the wood piece).
