Picture of an '07

[Carter13]

The pickle looks ok but I'll be keeping our 06 22v for a long time. Heck with the discontinuation of the V's for 07 maybe we'll have a collectors item.

I don't like Mastercrafts Pickles.

If Tige goes Pickle on thier 24's and or lager my next boat will have to be a Malibu.

What is the benifit of the pickle fork??? or is it mainly for looks?

Come on people, for those of you who "HATE" the "Fork" design on the new Tige', ...relax..., Tige' is not going to just make those models. We will still see the traditional bows on other models. This thread just goes to show you can't make averyone happy with one product. I look forward to the new model and think it will be a great asset to the Tige' line-up. "Don't knock it before you try it"...

I like it. Can't wait to see the finished product..... Hats of to Tige for not sitting around and letting the boatingworld pass by. My question is, if this is a Tige owned site, shouldn't "we" the owners, be getting the first sneak peaks? That should be part of the rights of ownership- first glimpes of the future, of what "we" will/might be buying. This isn't the 70s anymore, and the Internet isn't going away. Cameraphones, camcorders the size of "2001" cellphones, you name it, there are no secrets anymore. Tige should allow those who invest in their product, a little "nod," to what the future has. Otherwise, we will just get it somewhere else, and that just doesn't seem right. Spy photo's aren't going away, so let's take a step forward and reward the owners with a little teaser here and there. We are your best marketing tools (sorry for the tool reference)- because we carry the torch. You can't buy that in an a print ad or TV spot....
I guess, I am just asking for a bone once in awhile. Otherwise, I will just keeping getting the freshest Tige news from WW.com.
Loyal owner,

I will wait for the finished product. I would like to see it in person. I have never been a fan of the picklefork but seeing the room in the mastercraft was an eye opener. Tige needs to make sure that the seats are deep in the bow. That is one of the things that sold me on Tige over other brands as my daughter and her friends love the bow.

So far, I really like what I see. I am wondering if this is an entirely new hull, or is it the same running surface as the V or Ve and just new from the rubrail up?

I agree with Redlined. Tigeowners.com members need to be the first to see some sneak peeks. You can't expect to keep a boat a secret dragging it around town in front of a shopping mall.

Maybe it is all part of the marketing plan. A little taste here and there to keep us guessing. Look at all of the MC hype about the (then) new X-Star. That thing was pumped up for 12+ months before anybody got a taste.

I just hope...
- the boat has a great wake.
- new interior.
- integrated ballast.
- no silly-a$$ starboard walkthrough.

If all this happens, I could be looking at my new boat...

[xpjim1]

From the pics it looks like it has the walkthrough

[Zacky]

I know, I caught that too. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that two versions will be available. (I know, I know. Chances of that happening are slim and none...)

I will be very interested to see how the final product turns out. I really want to see if all of our "what we want to see in a boat" suggestions in these posts over the past months caught the attention of Tige...

Too bad the picture quality was on the poor side. You really can't see the lines of the boat. I think the pickle fork design is perfect for larger bow sections and im surprised how many people dislike them. Im a huge fan of the new design. So much so I joined the forums to be part of the action before the boat is released. I love the shallow deck and deep hull. Just look at the side compaired to the boat in front of it. I bet this boat is smooth as glass in rough water.

Can't wait to see pictures of a complete boat

Room.

Its above the water so it's no effect on the wake or ride.

Instead of two, three adults can sit in the bow.

Pantoon boats are pickle forks and have even more room.

So is it a better boat for wakeboarding, or slalom??

It's an above water line change.

No effect on performance.

Maybe a wetter ride, maybe.

[Zacky]

So, the running surface has stayed the same?

If you look at the trailer it has " Tige RZ2" on it.
