2011 Tige 24ve for sale $15k !

[UNSTUCK]

Maybe you misunderstood. When I said it was painted, I meant painted at the factory. The burnt paint is just that, burnt. You can see one of the stickers on top of the cat is burnt almost black. It would be awesome for someone one here to pick this boat up. I'd love to find out what actually happened and how bad it really is.

starting to think the 5k price is more realistic once you dump money into this boat to make it worth while. looked like no speakers in the boat to start with.. so no stereo makes me think that is 5k more to add on as well.. lol

[talltigeguy]

So they totaled this boat because it took on water and toasted the electrical system? Sure seams like insurance would fix that before writing off the whole boat. It says the oil is clean and the motor cranks....

Absolutely. This boat will be a headache for years to come. Electrical gremlins will pop up like mad. A boat that has been under water can never be fixed completely.

I would only take it if I was given it for free and had no access to another boat. Even in that case, I would have a hard time going very far from the marina.

I trust Boatwakes opinion on this one, considering he is a boat mechanic and would be helping to chase down problems for years to come. I am sure he has seen boats like this before.

Thanks Larry. Yes, a word to those who want this boat: plan on replacing EVERYTHING electrical. Stingreh sent me the link and I'm looking at it for a diesel re-power (finally!!!) but would not even think about anything above $5k and that's even pushing it that high. Salvaged sunk boats are a nightmare if you go cheap and the $15k price tag isn't even in the same state from where it should be. If we refurbished this boat for a customer it would cost about $50-$60k on the light side using the same engine and gears.
BTW, the orange color on the manifold is an overheat from lack of raw water flow. That unit houses the cat back system (a nightmare in its own right) and is not touchable when operating even though its raw water encapsulated so that bastard had to get REALLY hot. There are 4 O2 sensors on that motor and each one is $200. The motor is rebuildable but would need new cats, a new wire harness and relays and all new sensors. Price it out if you've got time. Ill buy it to re-power but am gonna start at a $2500 offer.

Diesel re-power huh?? Please tell me there's gonna be a build thread for this. You thinkin Duramax? Seems like the guy that owns dmaxstore.com put one in an x-star a few years ago. He posted a couple of videos on duramaxforum.com that I ran across one time. I love it

My bad.. Just went over there and it's not an x-star, it's an x-80... Pretty cool build thread with lots of details. Here's the link if you haven't already seen it:

We have seen several pcm engines with the exhaust that color after severe overheating, guaranty the manifolds are cracked inside and so will be the heads in the middle clys, and we run about 50% of the times the block is cracked, that's a very expensive fix.

At the end of the day, these boat will always be worth around 50% of a like condition non-salvaged boat.

In Utah and many other states, there is no salvage title, so I think these boats do end up on the market for regular price. It is scary to buy a used boat for that reason. I think with a little bit of homework and common sense, you can tell if a boat has been under water before.

I once called on a boat for sale by a private party, and the guy mentioned that the only repair he knew of was some gel work near the rudder. I thought it suspicious and called the boat dealer with the HIN. There was a long pause as he typed it in...then OH YEAH! I KNOW THAT BOAT! He then told me how it hit a rock at full speed at Lake Powell. Driver of the boat got helicoptered out. The damaged hull pierced the oil pan it hit so hard. After a lot of debating back and forth, the insurance company finally decided to total it after the dealer said it would take 65K to restore it to working condition.

Title may not say salvaged, but no doubt that boats like this, are salvaged. Its going to be up to the potential buyer and any lender asked to do a loan on the boats, to do their due diligence. In the title paper trail, one should question the owners listed on the title. Also, Most states require a damage disclosure form when a dealer sells a boat. This degree of repair would almost have to be declared.

Will your state give you the information about a boat you are considering buying? It would be great to know how many previous owners there were and who they were, but I am pretty sure if I call the Utah DMV with a Hull ID number, they are going to tell me no unless I am law enforcement with a subpoena.

The Listing says oil appears fine and motor turns freely you guys don't trust them??? LOL. DO IT BoatWakes, I want to hear that diesel knocking next summer.

No you don't get it. The cats are right on top and you can touch them with your hands when the boat is running the manifold casting will be around 195* it will burn your hand a bit (but you can never touch a car cat as it is most likely 1200 to 2100*) Those PCM manifolds are painted silver by PCM (with I'm sure high temp engine paint) and do not turn colors unless the boat loses its cooling system.

If it was just burnt paint then after all these boats left the showroom everyone would have brown manifolds.

It says it took on water the most common thing that happens if you take on enough water faster enough the bilge won't be fast enough and the water will get on the crank pully and bye bye belt. on a pcm the boat will keep running with no cooling system as the raw water pump is belt driven a min or so later and brown cats!

[MarkL]

I'd try an figure out how high the water went so you know how much electrical needs to be repaired.
Snap-out carpet is gone so that might be a clue.
What are those white speaker caps? Nothing on the tower either. Did they sell these w/o a speaker system
Trailer is worth a couple thousand by itself.
That seat cushion makes me want to cry.

[chpthril]

Mark,

A tige can be ordered stereo-delete, so yes, it is possible to get with with no in-boat ro tower speakers. But, Ive never known tige to cut the speaker holes on a stereo-delete order, but some manufactures due. It is possible that someone cobbed the speakers and replaced with those white blanks. It does look that this boat, if it had any stereo, was only the base level four in-boats and head-unit. This is due to the absence of a sub and speaker hole left under the helm, which would indicate the premium option that came with a 3rd pair of in-boats, sub and amp.

I do get it. I completely agree with everything you said. In one of my previous posts I talked about the possibility of water pump failure.
