2010 Tige

[Tanner]

Ok so you thought u were getting a getting a sneak peak at some 2010 Tige's huh? Nope sorry!

But instead we all know Tige listens and is working on the 2010 gear. The 2009's were incredible, but there's always room for improvement! So lets hear what you want.

My top requests!

1. SNAP OUT CARPET! ----- Come on, we've all been screaming for it for years,
give it to us already!

2. More carpet choices. ----- Currently there's 2. Brown and Graphite. Thebrown isn't even advertised, but it's there. I'd like to see a light grey color, like whats in almost every other tow boat. The Graphite is to dark for my tastes. Just give us a 3rd.... besides, a lighter grey would go better w/ the platinum bolsters anyways.

3. Finish up the Pure Very Ballast system! ----- I know your working on getting it to work... just finish it up and get it to the market!

4. A color choice for the interior LED's ----- You currently include white, but stocking red, blue, and green would not cost anymore and would make the boats more custom! Plus it would save alot of us money, b/c we wouldn't have to rip out the factory stuff!

That's about all I can think of, b/c the 09's were so great!

X2
...especially the snap-out carpet!!! It is not that hard to design and implement.

X3 cause I dont think the cost increase for the 09 models were enough. We cant have just plain old avg people buying Tiges

1) Increase the amount of weight/size of the ballast tanks.

2) Just make the ballast system a standard.

3) have an FAE as an option

You really don't need it with that new engine they have on the '09s. You really have to ride in one to believe it. There's still the fumes issue, but it only has one exhaust port...maybe fix it with a downward exhaust tip?

Pure vert would be sweet. I'm a huge fan of that system. That being said, I'd think the pump system is better for people wanting to ad onto factory ballast.

[Jason B]

A diving board off the tower would be nice....

[Matt Garcia]

An in floor ballast system that holds at least 2000 pounds.

correct if I am wrong but a dealer told me that it is virtually impossible to put in snap out carpet because of how the boat is made. The deck fiberglass stops at the base of the seats so the tige boat will able to have their rigid ride quality. but that is why you only see the snap out carpet in the bow.

The things i would like to see in a tige boat.

-Better interior. I was able to see a 2009 supra and a 2009 tige sit next to each other and the tige interior seem like it was missing something for being a $50,000 + boat.

-Digital toggle switches that can page so you could have 20 some inputs. The reason i like this so we don't have to put holes in our dashes for aftermarket stuff just plug them into the digital toggle switches. It will keep the dash very clean.

-An option to add the Wet sound - 420. or have wet sounds put a plug on the back of the ws-420 so that it can be plug into the digital display so the ws-420 are intergrated into the boat and not look like a add on.

-A removable cooler.

-A transome saver option. A factor install option that will protect the transome when people put wakeboards on or when surfing.

I think a cool idea would be...in addition of making every option a la carte, do some "package deals" or "trims". Examples:

• Group 1 - Upgraded Stereo, Speed Set, Driver Remote - Save $1K with bundle
• Group 2 - Group 1 plus Tower of Power, Transom Remote, Fresh Water strainer - Save $2K
• Group 3 - Group 1 and 2 plus Ballast, Vision Air Chair, etc etc etc - "Fully Optioned" - Save $3K

Then, modify the Tige website where you can "build it w/ MSRP cost" so you have an idea of what your building! Just my

[Lucky 275]

Dual rudders

Pure Vert ballast. 2K lbs

Floor Drains in cabin and storage areas.

Standard water strainer

Removable cooler or space in the cabin for your own 48qt cooler.

A good transom grab rail with a tow hook (see pic).

Thats the same crap they fed us about the infloor ballast not being possible....but guess what.... they made it work. It would not be a problem at all to make the finished floor part of the deck mold I wouldn't think. It would add quite a bit to the boats cost... but to me, I'd gladly pay another $1500 for it. That's what it's worth to me at least.... I know some wouldn't dare pay that much for it.

The stringers are where Tige's rigidness comes from, and that's all in the hull portion of the mold. Maybe Lee or someone else can shed some light for us though.

Like I said.... they used that same line about infloor ballast not ever being possible. Yet they made it work. I know this is possible.... just a bit of effort required. I wouldn't mind losing an inch of of space between the floor and the seat if that's what it took (in reality I think it'd only be like 1/2").

Snap out carpet #1 request hands down.

[Jason B]

Actually, if it could park itself like the new Lexus does I'd go buy one straight away--with or without snap-out carpet

[Tanner]

Then you wouldn't need a second to back the truck and load the boat


Better yet.... an auto pilot for the boat tied into the rider's commands!
