Love it!

I have a 2000 21i RE. It has a pretty good wake, I like to add a couple of fat sacs along the engine this seems to help out a lot. There are some things that I don't like: The tower, it seems to be a little loose or shaky expecially with 4 boards and tower speakers. I also don't like the fact that it doesn't have perfect pass. Overall, I have been satisfied with the boats' performance. I was just curious to see how much and how many hours? Anything else just let me know.

Thanks, Adam

this one has the perfict pass. and it has 160 hrs on it and he is asking 25 for it.

[Aerdb21]

Sounds like a good deal. I'd go with it. Wish mine had perfect pass that's the only thing that I miss about this boat.

You can get PP put on the boat, it's really not that hard at all to install yourself or your dealer could do it for you. I installed PP on my 2000 21i in a few hours in my driveway. The people @ PP are very helpful as well with any questions....just a suggestion if you wanted to get it.

I love my Tige and would recommend the brand to anyone. I also don't like the metacraft tower that came with it but it's not that bad just a little shaky and doesn't look as cool as the newer designs coming out. I also add fat sacs to both sides of the engine which helps to make the wake more of a launch ramp.

The only concern I would express about the boat you described is that if it was only used on average 32 hours per year....you might be looking at having to get a new raw water pump and maybe a few other things that are dependent on water lubrication and tend to have their seals dry out when not used for extended periods of time.

One of the Tige mechanics (Tige MD) could speak to this a lot better than I can. Best of luck and hope it works out for you.
