Last week Scott (signguy) and I pulled the upper tower off to have to have it painted red. Over the last 2 weeks Scott had the West Coast Graphics reproduced from just a picture of a boat...pretty badass. Scott made these so that the accent color can be changed per request to match anyones boat if need be. After takeing pics we did put the pair of W/S 485's back up and the bimini and the two billet mirrors, sorry we got too excited had to take a couple shots.
Were going to do his 22v also very soon.
If you are interested please PM Scott after he chimes in.
Pics attached....
(LONG)Story behind replaceing graphics for the boat AGAIN when I had 2005 Riders graphics. I found out the boats original owner replaced the graphics because they got ruined. He put on W/C Riders. I bought the boat and was fixing up the minor details, well the graphics were peeling on the side where the vent is , so upon purchase the dealer let me get some new W/C riders at a discount ( now the boats 3rd set). As I own it I notice the same thing was happening, same side, same issue I figured it was the gas. I went to replace yet again but now no more W/C riders available to buy and replace the bad side. As it looks bad I go and replace them yet again but with what's available and go with 2005 Riders graphics. The first fill up which I carefully though to not over fill did burp/ spew out from the gas station to the ramp.
Melted the cheap vinyl they used pretty bad, wore than the WCR ones.
So I ask for help from the dealer as I notice Tige has moved the vent on the 22v's early ones were way low on the main panel and by late 03' thay are back close to the gas fill above the rub rail. Supposed no graphics issues from Tige, no reason for relocation, to TSB, ect.. , just if you want more you can buy more. How many more you ask? 3 at $225 a piece!!!!!! Why 3!!!
So then I kept asking Scott can you make these and maybe better gas resistant?, He did, and I bartered and did some custom paint on his F150 for him. So now the boat has had 5 sets on it, or comicly think of it as changeing it's t-shirt 5 times.
All this for trying keep the boat new looking as possible and cared for and no help from Tige (dealer or company), I say this only because on a recent thread 2 members from the tige company chime in and help a one owner with a old boat.
I personally have had three since 97', I love tiges which is why 3 so far and why 3 other friends have them too, but no help on the graphics issue for a repeat owner , maybe I should have stopped with 1 tige for better customer support ( being sarcastic).
Hope you guys like the pics.
