Somebody call the police! You stole this!

That's a great price for 39 hours & a couple hours of teak work.

Congrats & welcome!

Awesome boat! I like the blue. I'm the guy from best deal in Texas, however I think your deal was a bit better. I paid 19500 with all the bells and whistles also only it's a 2003 21i Limited with 250 hours.

You both got great deals.

Awesome looking boat!!!!!!!!!

Check the tower under the pads frequently for cracks in the welds. The tower tends to break there pretty regularly. When you find a wad of cash you don't knwo what to do with, replace the tower. I would probably save some up now, for when it does break.

Not all of them break, but a large percentage will.

First boat??

A few days back, me and the guy buying the best deal in Texas posted around the same time -- finally picked up the boat this weekend and have some photos for you -- feel like I got a great value -- boat, bimini top, travel cover the whole 9 yards for $17K -- rear platform needs some TLC but I'll trade that elbow grease for the sweet factory sound and an engine wiht alas only 39 hours. She's a 21i from 2001 -- and the test drive went off flawlessly.

Great looking boat. The swim platform is pretty easy to take care of. There are several threads on stripping it down and making it look like new. The Ski Dock or West Marine will have all the supplies you need. Go with a 2 step cleaning/strip down process and teak oil. You'll need to do this once or twice a year.

That's a winner!!!

First boat??

Second, well, maybe 3rd.
Our family had a 17' 4Winns -- nobody used it after I left Colorado, so Dad, bless his heart, let me drag it to Nebraska where I proceeded to ski the hell out of it and blow an engine from skiing behind it maxed out on the 3.0 Merc I/O.

Moved up to an 18 foot bowrider, Bayliner that had the 4.3 and my buddies and I ran that on hard for about 8 years, -- got married, sold the boat cuz no time to use it -- now our kids are old enough, so I dived back in -- I was actually looking for another bowrider, but this deal was too good to pass up -- and the open bow up front for kids just kills -- happy as a clam.

Thanks to all for the nice comments.

I apprecaite the insight on the swimboard as well --

Mr. Texas, while I might have gotten a marginally better deal, we both did ourselves solid, and I'll trade ya towers (-: I love the chrome!

Look for me to post a few "how to" on maintenance issues -- as a father of 3, my time to search, Google, Sma-Boogle and so forth is limited -- so any two or three sentence answers or links I can get on a message board is golden; and my maintenance experience is not equipped to handle this engine and boat configuration -- again, thanks to all for the positive vibe -- I don't know what I like more: the boat, or the positive vibe from this community.

Well done Tige owners, well done!

Very nice, very nice.

Beautiful boat. I have a 2000 2300v. I replaced the tower with an Xplosion tower and have loved it. Very solid tower and updated the looks of the boat. Congrats!
