dgutz,

You guys really do listen. This brings a tear to my eye

[dogbert]

Talk about back-to-back home runs. Last year it was the Ve, this year it's the RZ-2. What are you guys going to do for an encore?

nickypoo - this boat has been in development for quite a long time when you consider all aspects of development. Tige takes alot of pride in our ability to respond and produce the products that our customers and dealers ask for. So the development began when tige owners and dealers starting asking for their perfect boat. Trust me, no person's request goes unnoticed, it is alway just a matter of time and ability whether something gets implemented, provided it is in the best interest of the company and most of all you owners. This is the first Tige out of the new R&D shop but development and construction began long before the new manufacturing facility!

Thanks D. I did want to tell you guys that I personally see a lot of the things people have brought up on this board in the RZ2. Make me proud to a Tige owner.

Dogbert- there will be a rz2 at the Austin reunion. Call damon and reserve your spot(s) in the raffle- 512.918.2628.

I just talked to Scott, and they're going to call me when they get one in. I'll take video and lots of pics.

Maybe I can get a set in behind it and take some on the water pics!

Dude, they're saying the Ve has a better slalom wake than the I. I can't say, but the no ballast wakeboard and wakesurf wakes were just awesome.

[Paublo]

In exchanging emails with the factory, a few additional details were shared. The ballast is not under the floor, but configured to be further in the rear into the transom and the front will be a wrap-around bag in the bow. This was done to retain enough floatation to allow 14 passengers. The X Star is rated for 12 passengers due to in floor ballast, even though it is a longer boat.

Water does not come over the nose in the worst of conditions or driving habits. The **** pit and bow space is slightly larger than the X Star.

Lots of other little changes too- such as softer foam, better vinyl, electronics, etc. They will start showing up at some dealers over the next month. Seeing in person will really answer all of the questions. I can't wait.

Who is this "they" that you speek of? I'm actually starting to give this whole new fangled V-drive thing some consideration. The wife can see it my eyes. I can see the wheels turning in her head also. Unfortunately they are turning the opposite direction mine are.

Nicky....come to the Dark side!

The more I look at the pictures, the more I like it. Even the dash is growing on me. Please tell me they have a fuel flow meter as standard. I like the mesh seat.

Give me the RZ4. I need bigger. Wife saw me looking at pictures last night and she is saying not again. It was hard for me to convince her to give up our 2 year old 20V last year when we went for the 24V. I had to sell my KTM for her to agree. She thinks dirt biking is dangerous. I have no more toys to give up now.

[Ruune]

Just an FYI- the RZ-2 has the same capacity as the 24v. In fact, if you look at the seating, its identical. This is because the 22ve and RZ-2 were initially based off the 24v hull. This is also why the convex V is more pronounced on these two boats- they cut off 2' from the 24 footer, and put in more of a curve.

I'm already sold on this thing.

Oh, and welcome to the dark side. The force is strong with you. A powerful sith you will be.

[Wake Havasu]

Will there be a 24 or 26 with the updates.

Sans the fork?

Id buy one right away.

Awesome interior.
