Welp....leaving Tige'

[dogbert]

I may do that. I am sure Tim is in a unique situation though as I am sure he didn't pay retail for it.

No, but he could tell you how well the boat was put together.

Opportunity abounds so why go with MB.

Good luck

[spharis]

any decision yet?

[dogbert]

He's still welping

[KonaKing]

Sounds Like al ot of huff and puff to me.

[spharis]

Yeah, news. I'm closing a deal on an all optioned 2008 MB B52 23V.

Just so you guys know I shopped Tige' till the end, but never felt like the purchase warrantied the price.

any decision yet?

I almost bought Ian's Tomcat.......the one you ride on occasion.

Sp, you will like that boat. The wake with full ballast is similar to the RZ2 at full TAPS.

[spharis]

It has shark eyes too!

I get the feeling that what MB does with its boats is similar to what Tige' did for years with theirs (low production numbers, everything meticulously built, low price points, etc); those roots that some of us have talked about Tige' leaving behind recently. Plus what's not to love about 40oz carpet, hand laid glass, fused hulls, and thick vinyl.

Congratulations spharis! Post up some pics. (as you know) when you take delivery.

[spharis]

Delivery is looking like it's about 2 weeks out. One added bonus is that it matches my towpig (white 2500HD with black trim).

I like that gelcoat pattern but my friend does have a black hull like that. he doesn't like it because of all the waterspots. However, he wouldn't trade that boat in for anything right now... Well, maybe the 21' Tomcat.

I test drove the MB before I bought my RZ2, great boat. Tons of ballast!

The main reason why I didn't buy was that I found that the hull was a little too flat and when I tested in chop water the boat hit the water very hard!

Tell him to try Rejex at the beginning of every season.

Yes, the B52 was the one I tested
