2006 Az Tige Reunion RZ2 Demo

[tigeone]

Hello all,We had our reunion this Saturday,yes it rained in the am then cleared for a great afternoon.Won some really cool prizes,but first I would like to say something about Tige`.What a great company and product!!!SO.....we (my wife and I) have been thinking of moving up to a larger boat.We have an 06 20V.Great boat!!But we want to go to the bigger lakes,and would like a little smoother ride in the rough stuff.(We had a bad exp on Mead this summer)I have been all over the RZ2 looking at it on line,stopped by the shop real quick one day and took a quick look (at) it.Well today I got to go out in one,I didn`t drive it cause we were all soaked from the rain.So we went back in and got by the fire..Yes I am in Arizona and usually it`s still around 90-95 this time of year.So we ate and got our winnings.A Rockford Fostgagte power amp and 4 R/F speakers.Pretty cool prize.Then 2 draws later they did the grand prize drawing and we won...I about fell over!! 3000.00 worth of stuff from the pro shop,parts or service!!Or we could get 4000.00 towards a new boat!!!Here`s the dilemma,We have to use it by Dec 31 this year!! I was not prepared to get into a new boat till Feb or March..Don`t know the details on ordering and when the payments start..But anyway,about the demo on the RZ2..Love the outside of the boat,just great.Had the E series tower,I was very displeased with the storage of the boat.Yes the port side goes all the way from the front to the back.BUT the rear storage compartments are comprimised with the dual batteries and even worse when the hard ballast tanks are in there.The seat back by the glove box does not latch down so it comes open while driving.I love the new gauges,there is a LCD screen with all your info,you can preset the accuset before even moving!!Pretty cool overall but I think my 20V has way more storage.Which I need,We always have 6 or 7 people with us.I guess it`s all in what you need.The storage lid on the port side pulls out then opens towards you so you have to reach over it.Same with the cooler.Like the lockable rear hatches.I talked to the Tige rep that was there and the RZ4 should be ready by end of January.The boat (RZ2)is the same bottom as the 22ve.So unless you really want the front of the RZ2 design and do not need a ton of storage I think my money on a boat upgrade would be the 24ve...Hope this info helps in anyones decision!!Take care all and safe boating.By the way,boating in the rain with no bimini is no fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! P.S. anyone want to buy a 06 20V???? Like new only one season on it..

congrats on the winning. Hey a new boat upr\grade is a win/win wether it is a rz2 or a 24ve i/m/o

Oh ya

I agree,they are both great,I think it all boils down to personal preference of what you need.I am into ergonomics and when I`m in on or around something,if it don`t feel right then it`s not right..Thanks again

We made it to Bartlett on Sunday- not many Tiges in sight. Our fault for waiting. Anyway, it was a good day on the lake. Wish we could have made the reunion but Saturday was a no go. Plus the weather wasn't very promising in the morning... Saturday did turn out to be a beautiful day indeed. Glad you had fun! We'll make the next Tige reunion for sure!

See if you can use that 4k as a down payment, and get a spray date for later. The dealer might be up for that.

I don't see why it couldn't happen.
