Hello everyone. I am new to this site and also new to inboards. I picked up a 2004 89 hour 24V Limited with a PCM 6.0 fully loaded w/ heater,tower lights and speakers upgraded sound etc!I paid less than 30K for it!!I will be honest--I hated it first time out!!!??? Why---I now know on windy days to leave both bimini's down while manuvering in and around the docks. Yes my learning curve was steep!! Thanks to Marnie and Gary,fellow tige' owners,who let me in on that knowledge.
I just found out @ the Lake Mead Tige' Owners reunion....... If I've never been united can I attend the re-union?
I will try and post a couple of pics----not sure how to yet.

Take it from another newbie. These guys are extremely helpful. The pics are easy to post. Hope you did not do any damage on the maiden voyage

[solaidrider667]

I have read other posts and know I am in good bindings--I mean hands!!
Also---no damage!! I also learned that the bumpers do not fit between boat guides while hanging outside the boat
I need to resize my photos----it looks like the brochure boat for 2004 White and Blue w/shades of Grey. Love It!!!

Nice deal on the boat. The inboard certainly has some handling issues at slow speeds around the dock. Takes some time to get used to.

Looking forward to seeing you at Mead on Saturday. It will be a good time for sure.

Congrats on getting your boat... sounds like you got an awesome deal!!

Can't wait to see the picts of your baby.

One note of advice is to take it slow... easier to deal with sudden situations.

Congrats and welcome. That is super low hours on that boat. Where do you live in town?

evilOne, I live on the east side of town. I tow my boat with a silver E-350 15 passenger Ford van 6.0 Diesel..... It says Solaid Clothing Co. on the rear lower quarter panels.
I figured out the pict posting part,,,,,,so here she is.

Solaidrider,

Good luck with those racks on that tower...
They are a PITA to get the boards in and out because they are so high up.
We ended up getting new racks.
