Friday pro-am pics

[zad0030]

The dash is a little too exotic and look at the glare off the windshield!!

[Ks]

Did anyone notice with the new dash that a few key things are missing?

Taps and Fuel Gauge

I know they are still there, just will now be incorporated into the LCD


Man I love the new stuff.

[rushin]

could not stand to look at it that long

[turbonine]

That first pic looks like a malibu at first glance

I thought is was a Malibu too at first. Not until I saw the transom.

[turbonine]

That bimini is pretty slick how it works there.

Bimini looks to be about 6-10 inches longer than a Malibu bimini. The mechanics of it are exaclty the same as the Illusion, just backwards.

This tower and bimini combo are going to be solid!

On a side note, as a 24Ve owner, I am proud they are STILL using the 24Ve and not the RZ2 or RZ4 to tow. I would really like to know why that is.

I'm guessing they are using multiple boat types. You're just not seeing all the pics, but who knows. Either way, it's pretty much the same hull.

[ragboy]

Maybe, but last years pro am they solely used the 24Ve, and the RZs were available. Just curious as to why, when the RZs are supposed to be the flagship boats.

I love almost everything about the new boats, still cant afford one but would love to have a new Z1, i hope the new tower flexes less than the one i have on my 2006 20V, i know that they are the cheapest boats that tige makes but i hate the wobble, my dealer told me that malibu was the only one that made a tower that didnt wobble, is this true and if it is then the new tower should be awesome.

[Tanner]

Your dealer was correct. At least when the towers are loaded down with speakers anyways. And the new towers are ROCK SOLID according to a very viable source.

[Razzman]

Yup, now it'll be known as a Malibugé or maybe a Tigebué

The dash looks totally cheesy to me, especially that mid plate with the switches in it, that looks like an afterthought!

I agree...It looks ODD & I have never liked the tower.

[rushin]

Glad I have an original Tigé.

I like this dash better than the pic of the other dash.



The vinyl dash will probably grow on me, but it looks like many an opportunity to fall apart. What will it do in 6 years? When I replace the vinyl in the boat, then it will be impossible to match the dash...

The yellow dash will for sure reflect off of the windshield and make for poor visibility. I would go with black only for that, but then it will be scalding hot on those summer days.

I like the tower better after seeing the bimini a little bigger than on the bu. Looks like you will have to have a little skill at throwing the rope up there, then grabbing it from below to get it on the tower.

Is still want to know if a full sized man can stand under it...like one who is 81 inches tall...

The automotive industry learned long ago that neutral colored, or black, monochromatic dashboards minimize glare. I will always prefer analog gauges, especially in bright sun.
