2004 22v Riders Edition

[jdevlan]

I am looking at purchasing a 2004 Tige 22v Riders Edition. I'd appreciate some insight from Tige owners re:

1. What is the slalom wake like?
2. Do they produce enough wake to surf?
3. What problems, if any, have people had with this model?
4. There is a rip along a seam on the rear seat (where people step into the boat). How difficult is something like that to replace?
5. How many people can you fit comfortably? My wife and I have have 3 kids.
6. What is a fair price? It has 96 hours, perfect pass, basic stereo?

Thanks

Like G said, very similar hull to the Ve.
1) soft at 30+ IMHO
2) awesome with a little weight on that side/front
3) Cant comment on the 04's but found the fit and finish of our 06 was great. The Marine Power engine is a beast
4) An upholstery shop may be able to fix. May be able to get a skin or matching vinyl from Tige
5) had 10 plus 1 boarding not sure I would take any more then that
6) Also check out www.traderonline.com and search for similar boats.
