Looks in pretty good shape. I'm sure there is more work ahead than the pictures show.

How's the interior?

The interior is jacked. Seats, carpet, etc.

Da,

Thanks for the info. I have heard about the Carlilse tire blowouts. I had Carlilse on My 22V trailer and heard all about the horror stories of them blowing out. I never experienced that in the long hauls that I did with the boat to Shasta and Eastern Idaho but the temps are alot lower than in Nevada and Arizona.
I feel for you trying to get rid of your 24Ve with the flood of all the dealer repos in Cali and other states. I think your idea of renting it out is a good one if you can find a price per day that satisfies both parties. I looked into renting last spring and the prices were 300+ per day for a piece of crap.
For a guy with no boat this is a open platter to get a steal from if he looks long and hard.
I actually called the dealer I bought my previous Tige from to see where they were at and his prices on 08's were unbelievably high. He obviously isn't worried about having 16 Tiges on his lot.
Pictures to come tomorrow if the test drive goes well.

We will see about renting. Having someone renting it out and taking the responsibilities of driving it to and from the lake and then cleaning it. We shall see how it works this year. With the water drought and the huge amounts of boats here in CA, it's hard to do almost anything right now. However, summer is coming and things might change.

You should have called my dealer They still have 2007 model RZ2's in stock for $53k or talked with Rushin since he got one incredible deal on his RZ2 also.

Da,

I really didn't want to pay in the 50's this time around. I checked some of the dealers just to see how much they had come down on 07 and 08's. I was determined to pick something up in the mid to upper 20's.
If you want plenty of water just come on up to the Northwest because it isn't going anywhere.

Just a quick update, didn't end up buying it. Drove about 6 hours to pick it up, and when I got there, it looked horrible in comparison to its photos. The guy had provided lots of photos, and I don't think it was intentional. Shat happens.

[TeamAllen]

Bummer! Are you still going to look for another project?

[illiniboarder88]

I'm always open to the idea. This one just was too much. I probably would have pulled the trigger if he'd have come down a little lower, but even so, I'm not sure that would have been a good idea. Interestingly, the red on there is paint, and it was in rough shape. I was going to have to sand that thing down to white.
