Thanks everyone. I wanted to do a unique color scheme, something that was bit different from the norm. Once I saw the acutal graphite color sample months ago my mind was set on that color, especially since greyish colors are my favorite.

Tall, that is Kirby Lake. Its a lake right by the factory that they use to test boats on. Lanny a sales person for Tige told me that lake is filled by "reclaimed water" so that would explain the brown water.

jeffro, anytime man you and Dave are always welcome.

spharis, I agree. Little touches like that go a very long way. I actually really did not pay much attention to it until last night.

Congrats on such a great looking boat. I'm sure you are going to get plenty looks from other boaters.

Beautiful boat!!! I think it makes me cringe to put it in water so dirty! Where did you find that stuff? I would consider leaving the shrink wrap on it for protection.

Just teasing, but that is some dirty water. I love the colors, I was considering the same, just reversing the gray and orange.

Matt,
That is a beautiful boat. I really like the color combination, very original and unique. I have never seen another boat with those colors. I also really like the tower, very open and clean looking. You are going to have some awesome times in that boat.

I will offer you 330,000 pesos right now for it!

For those of you that have seen Family Guy.

Graet looking boat. Colors look great!.

The actual boat pics are so much better than the Build a TIGE pics. It looks great on the water.

Nice boat. Hope you will have fun. Did you get a chance to find out the answer to my earlier question as to what MP did to the engine to go from 340 to 36hp and what is the new torque rating?

gman, nope not yet. I need to find out a few other things on the engine itself and will see if I can get that question answered as well. Thanks.

It has a different Cam and different computer program. Not sure on the torgue rating.

Here are a few pictures of the wake. This is stock ballast plus a few extra pounds, about 1000 total. The riders are at 70ft, 22mph and TAPS at 6. This wake has more of a peak/lip to it than any other Tige I have been on. Its really impressive for just stock ballast.

Few other things, the MP 360 has some serious "umph" to it, it will get you out of the whole with no problems. As one of my friends said, "It sounds like your are riding behind a NAS car".

I havent dialed in the surf wake yet since one of my ballast tanks wasnt cooperating with me. The swim platform does seem to also cut in to the shape of the wake, not sure if it was because I was surfing on the starboard side. I am still trying it out and will post pictures once its dialed in.

Overall I am really happy with the handling of this boat.







On this particular picture this landing caused my buddy to break his tibia on a heelside FS 360 attempt. I hate to see anyone get injured while doing this sport.

Looks good Matt!

My 22i gets a lip on the wake like that when the TAPS is up at a higher level.

[Coach]

That sucks about your buddies leg.

Nice Pics of the wake. I am buying 2 300 lbs sacks for wake surfing, I can't wait to see the wake when you get the ballast worked out on the surf wake.

[Matt Garcia]

Thanks rushin.

Coach, he has had injuries on that same leg so that may have been a cause of it.

My buddy let me borrow some of his sacks so this weekend I should have some pictures. The stock ballast wont be enough, at least for my heavy butt.

That scares me. 600 lbs might not be enought for me? I'm 225 lbs. At least all of my buddies are big guys as well. I will have to pack them on with us.

[Matt Garcia]

I would say you would need at least 1000 pounds to be able to drop the rope and surf it. If you can get the boat to lean heavily on one side then its surfable with no rope holding.
