Well, already found a problem. Look at the aft tiedown hooks... There might be a problem when tying it down to the trailer..... Anyone else see what I'm talking about????

I never tie mine down. Mine are in the same location.

Looks like a more angular version of my boat. Long live the 21v

I never tie mine down. Mine are in the same location.

We have all gone the rounds on that one before, but I think not tying the boat down is a very foolish proposition. A minor accident can then be a disaster.

[dogbert]

Well, there's not really a good way to do that.

Check out the Tige site.

does any one know if the ballast will still be like boats past and stick half way out in the rear lockers? How many people is it rated for, cause it looks very small, especially in the front. I'd love it if someone could post more detailed interior pics, thats about the only thing you can't get a good idea of.

where are the cupholders? I see the 2 on the transom, but no others.

Thats an awesome Boat, I LOVE the look..

I have to admit though, for a boat that is 8 inches shorter and 2 inches narrower, it seems like you lose alot of room with the V-drive. I am not a die hard D-drive guy, not trying to throw jabs, but it seems like my 22i has so much more room.

It may be just perception from pictures...

Great Boat!! Tige has sure got a great design team, with some great ideas...

I am digging it even more now that they have the pics up on tige.com. I can't wait to see one in person, gonna have to call the ski dock to see when they plan on getting some in.

Does anyone know what the base prices are for the Z1, 22Ve, 24 Ve, RZ2 and RZ4? Curios where they all lie. Also should be interesting to see if the Z1 styling carries over to the Ve's or if they move to a Z2 ands Z4 and retire the Ve line. I am still a fan of the Ve's backend but would like to see that pointy nose on the Ve. Hmmm, the possibilities are endless!

What I have heard but might not be totally true yet. 12 passengers is what they are thinking. That seems like a good number since the 24Ve=16, 22Ve=14, and then the Z1 should equal 12... But, we shall see.

Nice looking boat and priced very competitively IMO. Not sure that will be my next boat but again, I need the room for people.

[dogbert]

I would imagine that it's the same as my boat, which was 11.

Very nice looking boat Tigé. Good job I like it!!!!

I've heard the Pro 80's. They had a single pair on the Tige RZ2 used in the last two Texas INT tour stops. They blow anything else I've heard away. I've not heard the NVS speakers, so keep that in mind. The fact that Tige offers these as stock factory options would be enough for me to get a pair or two.

The only thing that would top them, IMHO, is if Wetsounds figured out a way to build them into the Tige transom.

[spenchey2]

But a question on the Z1, are all speakers mounted on the first beam across the tower? instead of the aft one?

Back to the subject of the thread. There is a few things I am not liking about the boat but can be fixed easy. The rear stereo remote is placed a little low, The transom hooks are two high, and the nose has no reclining seats like my 24V has. The square lines tend to remind me of the Centurion boats. Which is not half the boat of a TIGE'. But the fact that it is a TIGE' I say it is a good boat and depending on price point they may sell a ton of these boats.
