Its hard for pictures to give a wake justice, but that def. looks like it will do. Can you tell me how you have your boat weighted in those pics?

4-5 adults in the boat. 400-500 on each sided, and 500 lbs of lead headz up front, if I remember correctly. This was long before FlyHigh was making the bow sac.

I've been wakeboarding for several years and I've never ridden in or behind a tige. I am thinking of purchasing a 2000 21v with 350 merc and taps. I'm curious as to all owns this particular boat and how they like it. I would also like to know what people think of the 21v's wake and if they weight the boat in addition to the taps and if the boat has a center ski locker for a center fat sac. any information would be great. I might just be the next tige owner.

Does a 2000 year model 2100v have a wooden floor or fiberglass?

Wood layered in fiberglass.

Wood lasted until 2004

Wood lasted until 2004

Mine's lasted longer than that and I suspect that Teamallen's has as well.

No im talking about tige used wood in boats until 2004

So whats an easy way to check on a 2000 model 2100v if the wood is good?

[da.bell]

Open up the floor to the stringer and check it for discoloration would be one way.

[jwanck11]

Does that mean the 04 model boats dont have the wood?

Newbie , on an older tige

Ok, so i took the dive and bought an older (96) used Tige skiboat.
Ive taken it out once, just for a day skiing. Seemed fine, perhaps a tad underpowered , a little rattly. But it seems to run great. Now keep in mind, i have never actually owned a boat......
I am informed that i can switch out the prop, currently a 3 blade 1 1/8 lh 13 x 13 stainless, with a few nicks and chips in it, for a 4 blade and this would most likely smooth out some of the roughness and rattles, Of course, being a newbie, i have no idea who to call, and west marine had nothing available.

I am in the norhtern california (marin county) area. Suggestions on who i could call? Even for repairs and general stuff to improve it? But i would mostly like to switch out the prop......350 chevy i am told, is the engine......

I just bought a refurbished Acme 537 from Prop MD.com for a great price and I love the difference it has made. They were great to deal with also.

also when you get a new one, you can get a lower pitch prob to give you a better holeshot. You will loose a little bit of top speed, but tiges are not meant for top speed anyway. I am supprised that your marina could not help you out. They should be able to get you a new one.
