rz2

[spenchey2]

Why do the rz2 graphics only come in blue and red? Tige should have a color graphic for all the colors it offers for the boat. and what happened to the 22V? i do not like the back end in the ve or the zr2 at all, that is the reason i bought a V. The new line up by tige makes me wonder about getting a MC for my next boat.

I agree about the graphics should come in more colors or at least one color that is universal like grey, black or white.

As for the transom I think it is a matter of practicality. The Ve and RZ2 both have a place for you to get your board on comfortably and it has some storage with in reach for soap or gloves. As some might have found on the V (I don't have experience) just like the MC is when the transom moves away from the sun deck it makes it harder to put on your board. The angle pushes you away from the board and creates a weird angle getting the board on and off. Also if you forget something under a hatch it can be more trouble some to get. Minor stuff but the easier it is to get prepped to ride the better. Also on the Ve and RZ you can store your batteries in the transom area and they are completely hidden. The don't take up any storage room in the boat. Even my MC friends really like the transom on the RZ2 and the battery storage.

On the V's the batteries are completely hidden also. I agree on its a matter of preference. We have always put our boards on by sitting on the swim platform so it is no big deal. I am going to keep my V for a long time but if the lotto was to come to Xp's house an RZ4 would be in the future

The functionality of the Ve transom is what sold us. I also liked the fact that it looked differant than any other boat!

Long Live the V!!!

Actually I like all the Tiges. The V transom is nice for hangin out in the water since it has a nice slope to lean back on. I like the little storage bins on the Ve, and I also like the traditional looks of a flat transom like the RZ and the shorter Vs. Like I said, I dig all Tiges.

Let me clarify, Tige was the only choice!!!!!! The walk-through and notched transom is why we chose the Ve over the V.

[ddutcher]

I have a hard time figuring out why people find it difficult to put a board on due to the transom being sloped. When I put on my board I stand on the platform, face the boat with my big butt towards the water. I slip my feet into the bindings and slide backwards off platform. If there is boat wake and I feel the need to hang onto something I just reach down and grab the bar on the transom. I do not have the need for rubber or clear films to avoid scuff marks because the board is always away from the boat. If my kids need help they follow the same procedure and I sit on the grab handle and can help balance them. This could be a completely different story if Tige went to a smaller swim platform like other boat makers; MC, BU, Sanger etc. I know it is a preference but I love the look of the V over the VE.

Great idea! Sometimes it's the obvious that is so elusive

[spharis]

I just sit on the back of my boat, and use the teak as a stool/support for the oard......its just like I am putting on shoes on the edge of my bed. Another reason teak owns I suppose.

Because MC has sloped transoms, right?

Hey guys,

Did I miss it, or does RZ2 stand for anything?

Like RiderZ 22' or something?

RZ2 is a cool name, but I wonder if we're gonna have to explain it to people. You know Like PRE.

the only reason my next boat would be an MC is becuase it doesn't have the walkthrough in the back. Not anything to do with the transom, my friend has a Ve and i have no problem putting on my board on that. i just don't like the walkthrough.

[Ruune]

ahh point taken. I had the same view as you, but the walk through kinda grew on me.

then again, I was at texas ski ranch last weekend- they had an X-45 with a TEAK PLATFORM that was giving me that funny feeling inside.
