At 400 years you must be talking about Matt.

I am talking about collective years. All the people who own a TIGE' in other words. I know TIGE' has sold more than 400 boats and each owner that owns a TIGE' that keeps it for one year totals 400 1 X 400 that makes 400 years of experiance if I am doing the math correctly.

24V Owner

We purchased a 24V at the beginning of last year (2005), I have owned several boats and this one is by fay the best. The powerplant is plenty (we have the 340 hp) and the boat handles like a dream. If I were to buy another boat in the near future, it would be from this manufacture.

We have a pretty good size, extended family, which fits very well in this boat. I would highly recommend this boat to anyone in the market.

We purchased a '05 24V around the first of July and put about 80 hrs on it last year. We love it. We all slalom ski and wakeboard behind it. Being able to adjust the wake is one of the best features.

I have a friend that bought a '05 SeaRay 24' Sundeck before we bought our boat and he regrets his purchase. Our boat is roomier, easier to store the water toys and handles much better. Ours has the Marine Power 6.0L with 380hp, which needless to say has plenty of power. It is amazing to me how quiet this engine is at idle.

Our only complaints were initial issues with hose clamps not being tightened properly. We actually lost power because of it 2 times. Very simple things to correct, but annoying nonetheless, especially since I was a first time boat owner and didn't know better.

There is a '05 Nautique that runs in the same area that we do - it is the largest one they make, but the group that owns it always looks like they are shoe-horned into it. We have 7-10 people on ours all the time and there is plenty of room.

Get a 24Ve!

I'm a 24V owner about to receive my new 24Ve. Huge difference. 24V is a great boat, but the Ve is basically all the upgrades and fixes needed on the V model.

You might not be say the Ve is the best for long! My dealer told me that Tige is going to come out with another new line of boats for 07. As to what kind of boat, I dont know but I dont think it will be like the MC CSX (lets hope not).
