New Tige Ballast system?

[Jeffe]

They like cheetos too.

Cheetos are a big NO-NO with the interior

That is why you sent the people that like to eat them to the swim platform and tell them that they are not allowed in the boat until the wash their hands.....

[Jeffe]

Or the fat girls confuse the cheeto fingers for actual cheetos and eat them...than you have no fingers and orange upholstry...

the big question is what are you fat girls doing in the boat in the first place???

Then there's always Alvie...chicks dig him!

I swear I saw avlie on the river the other day He took up the entire bow of the mastercraft he was in

I agree that it would be nice to have presets that dial everything in for you, but it sure seems to be something that is waiting to break. With boats, simplicity is always better because things can and will break. Can't you remember how fast you like to go?

That is the genius of this system, it seems more reliable than the pumps.

Working around the stringers is the big question...can you do that and get a decent amount of ballast? I think you can, even if you had to create just a hole in the stringer between two compartments so that they can act as one when filling and draining.

Ok, try living without PerfectPass and tell me that again

Seriously, if they want me to buy a new boat, load it up with stuff I can't get on my boat and I might go for it.

Dogbert- 100% totally agree with you.

Could you imagine a car without air cruise or power windows? It is unheard of these days......... 10 years ago people said the same thing, keep cars simple..... now look at them, some even park themselves.

Besides BU no one is really pushing the envelope of performance creature comforts in wake boats.

Give me a break Tall, just because you still watch VHS or BETA doesn't mean we all have to

If Tige want's to really capture a market they need to step up to the plate and hit a home run with this system. nothing less.

All this mention about all the want's of a ballast set up would also drive up the COST of a boat.

My friend here in Bakersfield has a Calabria and it is a very nice system. When filling it takes all of about 10 seconds and we are full and the boat is sagging in the water. when emptying it makes a loud whistle sound and in about 30 seconds it is empty. Very nice set up and if TIGE ever chooses to go to PCM for there engine they will have the PERFECT combo on there boats. It might be time to sell now and hold the cash until the new boats are released.

From my understanding and this is what I have heard but the entire line of boats are changing. Maybe the dealers will stop saying that Tige's don't need ballasts. Not sure what that means but we will see in July.

Well, nobody really needs a ballast system, but it sure is nice to have, that's why it's an option. At the risk of rehashing this again, the stock Tige wake is bigger than most competitors. Add ballast and, with amount you'd normally add for other boats, it gets downright intimidating.

Ok, now back to your regularly scheduled broadcast...

BTW, given the surge in wakesurfing interest, I'm curious to see which manufacturer steps up first with integrated wakesurf ballast.
