Ouch.oh well,the big full size pics make it look a lot better.The small pipcs on wakewolrd does not do it justice..I`m trying to get the owner to e mail me the pics...I think it looks good,I hatge that they copied Master Craft on the bow even though it is slightly different..But I still like it...It`s rumored that they will come out with a 24 ft version..I have an 06 20v which I like it`s just rough!!

The 24 will happen. But not untill all of the 22 molds are made and production of the 22 starts. Look for the 24 in early 2007.

yeah- they're going to have to be able to meet current demand before they can roll out another model. However, they will probably discontinue the 24v and just run the 24vé and Rz4 next year (2008). That way they can milk the demand for the 22 footer, then release a new product again next year as well.

give me a cruise ship and I think I could find a way to get water over the bow. With some creative incompetence, I can do anything!!!!!!


Ruune,

I think there will be some of us dumb er, uh, I mean eager enough to buy a 22 now and then a 24 next year. It would be a serious waste to release them both the same year. These guys at Tige know their marketing...

When's the official release?

I want to see more pics, and I would like to know if the tower is going to be as rickety as the X-star I was anchored up to this weekend. A roller would hit that boat and the tower would wobble a good 2-3 inches. There was no movement in any of the other towers on any of the other boats.

Talltigeguy... "eager." I like that!

As for myself, I think I'm going to wait for the second year run- so they can get all the kinks out. I'll probably order in the fall or winter... so I can get boat show prices and avoid the mad spring/summer rush in manufacturing. Just barely missed it on my 22v- took 5 weeks! Let me tell ya, I was like a kid the night before christmas every day of that 5 weeks.


Question- will there be a teak option for '07? I'm assuming so, but I'd like to confirm it.

Damon at the Ski Dock says they'll have one on land and one in the water for us to check out at the Austin Tige Reunion. I wasn't sure if I was going to go, but now I may have to!

[Ruune]

yep- been talking to those guys a lot lately! I do hope we can take turns putting in a set or two behind that thing!

[dogbert]

We were able to go last year. My son got to wakeboard and wakesurf. He's been on me ever since to get a new boat. But, he had to admit the other day that our boat was still pretty awesome

PICS!!!! Or you will be drawn and quartered....

That is all....

[Ruune]

how about some video?

[dogbert]

One more option request. If you're going to give us the multi-function digital display like the one those two boats that were in Austin, then please, please, please add the ability to get your engine fault codes on that display along with some documentation from the engine manufacturer. It would also allow you to call your dealer's service department to see if there's a quick fix before you haul your boat in for service.

[dgutz]

there is

Hmmm....wonder if I could get the wife to fall for the "ongoing mid-life crisis" one last time...

[LovinPowell]

I was at the Tige reunion at Blue Water and my wife said that they gave credit to Chris for being the designer of the RZ2. I didn't hear them say that, did anybody else hear that?

I asked Chris about the tow rings being below the swim deck and he said it was because of complaints from owners about the tie down straps rubbing the gel coat when it is above the swim decks. It looks like they should have some above the swim deck as well as below for the straps.

I'm wondering if I took my criticisms directly to the designer of the boat.
