considering 2006 Tige 22ve

[skyliner]

i'm an independent car dealer turned fanatic wakeboarder a month ago....at auction next week is a tige 2006 22ve.... yelow black, tower, no radio / speakers...decent conditions..dont know the hours yet...love the new alpha z tower and if i could slap one one...that would be a plus....also there is a 2006 supra launch 21 with only 45 hours...looks brand new..i would appreciate advise. btw. i love the tige ownership camarady . thanks a bunch

The 22Ve is a phenomenal boat and I can guarantee that you won't be disappointed with it! You are going to have quite a bit more cabin room with the Tige than you are the 21' Supra.

thank you sir.....any advice for me...your pearl of knowledge is apprieciated.

Well, since I don't need another Tige you are okay to know that I am not going to bid on it. Already have two Tige's, don't need another.

The 2006 22Ve was the first year that this model came out. New hull design but built off the 22V hul design. The hull has a bigger rocker than the 22v did. The amount of passengers were increased to 14 on the 22Ve.

The downfalls. The hull warranty is a 10 year hull warranty and not a lifetime warranty as Tige claims. The warranty on the motor (Marine Power GM engine) can be transferred but is only good for 3 years from original purchase date.

Hope that this helps you out and I wouldn't worry aboutt he hull warranty only being 10 year. Tige hasn't had a hull warranty issue for as long as I remember.

thanks !! i hope i can get a good deal on it...
Does anyone know if the new Alpha towers fit a 2006 22ve??

[Timmy!]

It should, they haven't changed the hull.

It will fit , but I bet they will be in the $4000 to $5000 range.

The new Alpha tower is advertised as being integrated into the lower structures of the boat, not just the deck. So I am not sure it is a strap-on affair. And the cost is in the range quoted, at least on a new boat.

"While other towers are attached directly to the deck, the unique Alpha Z mounting design is engineered to transfer the tower load to the main structure of the boat. This results in a more rigid foundation and accounts for the Alpha Z’s outstanding stability and unyielding strength."

I'll just wait to 2011. I'm sure there will be something new that Tige will be accused of copying:

Very beautiful boat

Who is selling the boat, car dealer, boat dealer, individual? You can get on boattrader and see what others are asking for that same year of the boats. Also, how are the engines in both boats? If you are looking for a steal there maybe others online, dealers have leftovers they are paying interest on.I would have the cheapest pricing online to compare to the two.
