dumb question

[Coach]

Ok I know this is going to sound stupid, but I am goign to ask anyway. I am a jet guy making the move to the prop / V-dirve world here. My assumption is that the gearing is a 1:1 on the Tige. Am I right?

[jeffro]

on a direct drive, the ratio is 1:1

on the vdrive, depending on if you have syncrotech or not, the ration is not 1:1.

[Ruune]

Walter V-Drive w/71C or 45C has a gear ratio of 1.46:1. This is what Mercruiser lists as a V-drive option for the MAG MPI towsports inboard. I can only assume that this is what Tigé has stuck with...I also seem to remember thats what the synchrotech option is set to.

Lee?

Squirtgun guy eh? What was it? Any pics? Did you sell it?

[Paublo]

I believe that Ruune is correct. On the V-drives, Tige has always listed the gear ratio at 1.5:1 (rounded out) with the synchrotech.

Nice lookin' ride. Colors are bitchin'. Man I wish the tow boat industry would do some decent gel coat. Six colors w/ fades. Man I wish. I've finally got my wife accepting the fact that I will own a flat bottom one day. If only I could stop spending money.

Synchrotech will be standard on all Tigé 2007 v-drives except for the 20v. Marine Power will now be the only engine choice also with some cool features integrated into the new gauge layout for minor service issues. Speed set works really good on the RZ2. Went out today, very windy and 11 peeps in the boat an speed control worked nicely. We rode on a comp lake and could turn around at 23.4 mph and speed might vary 1 mph.

Sorry this was more than one sentence.

Coach,

You got to have a stupider question than that. Just do a search for talltigeguy and you can find much dumber questions...

I think you are going to have a lot more fun in the RZ2 than you ever had in that jet boat.

Come on now, you didn't just use "stupider" in a sentence did you?

The area that will be the most fun is not having to fill up my tanks every day I go out!!! I might not know what to do when I have to go an entire weekend without filling up. I will miss my top end speed, but I can still jump on my buddies boats for the speed runs. I know I will be pulling kids and adults all morning long next year!

My point nicely illustrated!

LOL, actually I need to post some more to keep Moki off my arce.

[Domsz06]

Oh, you will still fill up your tanks every day you go out, or at least top them off, you will be pulling so many people and stuff you will burn the gas!! Least I do, maybe I have a problem, not sure, but I always top them off, and it seems the more I go out, the more I burn since we go and surf for hours now that everyone on my boat want's to try. Dang surfboard

I represent that remark...I mean I resent that remark

[EZ-DZ]

Yeah, Marine Power is the only engine choice and they're using that little bitty zf tranny and vdrive that just came out. I've heard nothing but problems with Marine Power engines and I think we'll just have to wait a bit before Merc comes back (hopefully).
