2005 Tige 22V purchase

[MNTigeMan]

Hello I am new to this group and wanted to reach for a little assistance.

I'm looking at purchasing my first wakeboard/surf/skate boat and looking at a 2005 Tige 22v. This will actually be my first boat purchase. I don't know a ton about the boat at the moment but will be setting a time to meet up and check out the boat.

What are the main things to look at when checking out a used boat like this?

The owner says the boat is in excellent condition and seems so from the pictures.


Thanks for any input or suggestions.

Posting a link to the ad where you found the boat would help a lot. Does it have ballast already plumbed in?? Check engine oil, trans, and v drive fluids. Does it have Perfect Pass installed?? When was the impeller last serviced?? Hows the steering cable feel??

Theres a ton of other stuff, but I get to go over boats daily. If you PM me your email I can send you what we call our "Pre Sale Inspection" checklist. Is a list of things to check on the boat.

Thank you both for the replies. I haven't received a response from the seller yet so maybe it was not available anymore or a scam or some sort.

I have the Craigslist add below.

that price, boat for sale in minnesota with cali registration and lots of misspellings including the boat model.
bet it's a scam.

but probably ok if they tell you to send deposit and they will collect the rest once the boat is delivered to you ...... hahaha

Yeah... That's what I was kind of thinking as well... Surprised they didn't try to fish for more info or anything.

That sounds like an awesome name for a boat. Waterspouts In Motion
