MSRP ??? (NEWBIE)

I'm not trying to sound like the devil's advocate here, but rough riding is all in how you percieve it. All wakeboard boats ride rough compared to I/O's due to the diference in makes of the boat.

We had a '75 Cobalt I/O before getting a 2000 21V. Our Tige is hands down a much smoother ride in rough water.

I will not go out on rough water in my nieghbor's 21' Rinker I/O or 19' Donzi I/O. They will pound your teeth out of your head. I don't know why (maybe the wieght?) but my 20V will be fine as long as I don't act like Miami Vice. Min eis a much better ride compared to the other 2 boats mentioned.

I agree. It all depends on speed, ability, and the loose nut behind the wheel.

Personally, I thought my 22V was a lil harsh in rough water. Better than my previous 18' runabout, but still somewhat harsh. Rode in my buddies 24Ve and it was like night and day. 22V is now gone, 24Ve in the hizzy!!! BTW, I got my NEW 2007 24Ve FULLY LOADED (with upgraded Wetsounds pro 80 tower speakers) for under 55k. Deals are out there........

Hi guys,
Thank you very much for all the info!!! Sorry it has taken me so long to respond. Actually my local Tige dealer must have seen my post on here and sent me and email saying they live on the same lake that I have my place a would be glad to let me test drive one of the boats. So that's great. Everyone has been so nice and helpful. I'll let you know how the demo goes. As for the rough ride have any of you guys ever ridden or driven a boat like mine. I can be just above plain and it will literally hit so hard you think its gonna break in half. I've been around boats most of my life and never taken hits like I have in this boat. Once my buddy was drive and I was sitting in the front and it hit so hard it physiclly hurt me. I've ridden MX for most of my life so I'm not a wimp I've been busted up a lot it just hit that hard. I love the boat on smooth water. It can be a blast as far as having fun but anything over a slight chop will kill you. Thanks again for your help!!!!

I haven't riden behind a boat like yours but I have riden in a Malibu, Centurion, Supra, Tige (RZ2, 20V, & 24Ve), and a MB-B-52. All boats where more than one time. Of all these rides the Tige's were better and I would say that the 24Ve was the best within the Tige family. However, the new RZ4 would probably do as well as the 24Ve. This is more than likely because of the amount of boat that is spanning the water.

Hope your ride goes well and make sure the dealer takes you out in rough water as well as smooth water. That way you can experience the true Tige performance that we all have liked.
