2003 24V or 2005 20V???

I think it is the one with the red bimini but I could be wrong....The bimini wasnt on it the first time I went down to look. Do you think 38k is a fair price? Again only 85 hours. Thanks!

That's a pretty good deal for a loaded boat.

I know you can get a 2007 20V for that price. Not sure if it is loaded. But again, there are only two boats made for that event from Tige... IMO, might be a little high but it's a little difficult to say....

Lucky, no we are in Seattle. Those pics were from the Tige US Open which was in Hawaii.....I can only dream we lived someplace sunny! Going to pick the boat up this afternoon. I will put up some pics of it in the rain!

I guess we can welcome you to the Tige family then.

[talbertini]

ITS ON!!! Thanks for the welcome, I am very happy to say that the boat is sitting in my driveway now! We spent a couple of hours out on the lake last night and everything seems to be working great. My jaw is sore from the big grin I have had on my face for the last 20 hours though I posted some pics on my .mac account below. Thanks again for the welcome!

Sweet boat....

On the 4th of July you will fit right in. j/k

Graphics are sick, the color choices are very nice.... Thumbs up.......

Great pictures. Welcome. Now get in and get wet.

I've seen a lot of nice boats, and I think that color/graphic combo is one of the nicest. It's really F'n cool!

Thanks Guys, so now the magic question is what is the best setup for surfing. I filled all the front and back ballast and messed with the Taps a bit and ended up with a great wave at 9-10 MPH but it looked better with Taps at 1 then anything higher which kind of suprised me. It has a beautiful curl at the top. I havent messed with different ballast combinations but I would bet that filling the front and back on the surf side might be even better? Any input would be great! Thanks

You will find out that TAPS is nice to have but there are times when it will totally distroy your wake form. Playing around with it is the best suggestion that I had.

[ctcranor]

Agreed about the TAPS; conditions, weight, speed, people even moving around from seat to seat will all effect the wake which is, of course, basically controlled by TAPS. I initially thought burying it would give me the best wake for wakeboarding but after a summer actually found 6.5-7 to be ideal most of the time. I think I usually run about 4 for surfing as anything higher seems to wash out the wave. Takes constent input, which is annoying but at the same time very nice that we have that control!!

I think you got a good deal. They were selling new 2007 20v's for $39k at the boat show. The boat had zero upgrades - No stereo, speakers or ballast. The price ended up going down as low as $36.9K. I boat my 2007 20v used with 19 hours and a pretty decent sound system for $37.5. Given the additional upgrades your boat has, I think you got good deal.
