What kind of ski are you riding???

[bfrank]

Mine is a 97

[tige2ski]

THAT OLD SLOPE NOSE DESIGN.... STILL HARD TO GET OVER THAT.
NOT THAT THE NEW BOATS AND TECH, LOOK BAD OR PERF, MINE
STILL WORKS AS GOOD AS IT DID WHEN IT WAS NEW AND LOOKS
ALMOST AS GOOD. KINDA LIKE A COMFERTABLE PAIR OF JEANS
THAT YOU JUST CANT GET RID OF..

[bfrank]

also the cost of new!!!!!

I got lucky. 2000 22i. Last of the flat bottom Droop Snoots. The thing trows a bithen wake for boarding or surfing but it will still give me repectable slalom wakes through the coarse. They are not record capable or anything but still.

OH YES LETS NOT FORGET THE COST OF THE NEW ONES...
NICE BUT PRICY.....AND THEY ARE KINDA TUNED AND DESIGNED
TOWARDS THE WAKEBOARDERS, I DO A LITTLE WAKEBOARDING
BUT THERE IS NOTHING BETTER THAN MAKING SWEET TURNS
ON THE OLD FIRESTICK....ESPECIALLY BEHIND THE OLD PRE.COMP
IT HAS THE BEST WAKE.

I have been riding an HO CDX 67" for 2 years now. I love it. Before that I had an HO Extreme 66" which was the best thing on the planet back in the early 90's. I could not believe the difference 10 years makes in ski design!!!! The CDX is so easy to turn and takes the wake crossing much better than the older models.

HEY DENTS, DID YOU EVER HOOK UP WITH JOHN TOLAND IN TULSA
OKLA, TWINN LAKES ESTATES,

If you look at my photo page you will see the review of the 97 Tige Pre2000WT. It really speaks highly of the wakes for slalom sking. You can tell by the article that slalom was king in those days, with the wakeboarders just getting into the design frame of mind. What is also funny is it rates it for barefooting. Those poor guys dont have any specialty boat made for them anymore.

REMEMBER THE BAREFOOT NATIQUE??? THAT PUPPY HAD A BIGBLOCK
IN IT...AND THEN SKI CENTURION HAD THEIR LITTLE OUTBOARD GIG

I'LL KEEP MY OLD TIGGER BOAT FOR MANY YEARS TO COME.

Wow...where did you find that bfrank?

[bfrank]

I have a bunch of old WaterSki magazines. I save the boat test issues for reference on older boats.

Actually, you're typical of the target audience Tige wants to address. Since none of us are professionals or single-sport (except for maybe bfrank...) enthusiasts, we all have to compromise somewhere. What's cool is the compromises don't seem to be that great.

I think you nailed why we love our boats so much!

bfrank- Your gallery is awesome. You've got some some nice art work in there man. Everyone should check it out.

I don't suppose you have an old WATERSKI review for 2000 do you?

Oh yeah, thanks Dog. <-----What my Tige makes me do.

[bfrank]

I'll check it out when I get home. If I do I'll scan it in and send it your way.
