Tige on Top

Thats right folks the Tige RZ2 made the cover on the 2008 Waterski Magazine Boat Buyers Guide.

Here is the Virtual Test Drive. http://www.waterskimag.com/VTD/2008/...cture=1&boat=3

That is because this boat rocks for the money. MOKI needs to buy one now for his wife. J/K MOKI.

I saw this! I was super surpirsed that they had such postive things to say about all the tige models!

You shouldn't be... Tige makes killer boats!!

Maybe cause the Editors didn't spend too much on an over priced Bu, CC, or MC

Way to go Tige

The video of the factory was really good. and the review of the RZ2 was awesome!

I love my RZ2, but it makes me even more happy to hear it from a guy that has been in every boat out there.

The Editor seemed really impressed with the construction of the boats.

Maybe a start to the end of the myths associated to Tige.


Good job Tige!

Its nice to see them featured, but I can't help but wonder, did Tige pay them for some extra feature/placement? The new WB mag has an ad for the new virtual test drives, and every screen shot is of a Tige.

Also, those virtual test drives are nice, I used them when I was researching which boat to buy, I love the pictures of the wakes, but when have you seen a SINGLE test drive, that says "This boat was lacking in the blah blah dept". They are all positive. I think Tige paid something to have them featured.

I liked the Videos of the older models but they switched to the Virtual Test Drive and now they dont do all the models.. .

Does the cross bar on that Z tower look a whole lot straighter (I know, not a real word ) then before? kinda like Tim's on the WetSounds's boat.

I would weight those reviews about as heavily as a Car & Driver review, or JD Power award; not much at all.

IMHO Car and Driver reviews are unbiased in terms of influence from the car makers, I don't think any maker "pays" to get a better review in C&D. Of course you have to get over their infatuation with BMW and consider what type of guys are writing those articles, they are all about performance first, even on their non performance car reviews.

Great to see Tige getting a good review. I watched all 4 videos and he did always say "Get the ballast", which I think most of us would agree with.

Check our the X-star review, the middle gauge plays a video when you start up the boat! That dash integration is pretty sweet, assuming it works like they say it does.

It is great that Tige' made the cover, but don't get too excited. The magazine puts out several different covers. I got the one with the Malibu on it. I think it is regional.

It is also interesting that the Z1 did not get reviewed, is it not a 2008 or maybe it was just not ready when they did the tests? That is what I was most curious about.

[chpthril]

It's not uncommon for publications to ask the manf. to supply thier own review with the product being tested.

I to believe that a manf. can "buy" a good review in terms of advertising dollars spent. Any publisher would be smart to be careful with any negatives on a product who's manufacturer spent money to advertise in thier mag.
