Wake Size

[Domsz06]

How does everyone like their wake size on the tige? I have the 2003 21ir and I like it a lot. It was used in the 02 world games I believe. I think it's pretty nice, but I haven't ever been behind anything else well, except an 97 tige, i believe the comp ski boat with a ten foot pole. It's nice, but not as nice as mine

I love the wakesize on my Tige. My family just bought a 2004 Tige 22V and its great. The younger kids can go small while I use the bigger wake. Ive ridden behind Air Nautiques and some of the Master Craft X-Series. None compare to Tige.

now when you say they don't compare, is it that they are smaller or what? just wondering. ON wakeboarder.com, I keep getting slammed for haveing one, but I LOVE MINE!

I quit visiting wakeboarder.com for that same reason.

yeah, they are real anal over there. I just go there to find some other boarders, or if I need some cheap stuff to buy other then that I don't go there too often

slammed?

I wouldn't worry too much about getting slammed. I have ridden behind a lot of diff. boats and i chose tige' cause it was what i liked not what someone else liked. Also, if you check out the east coast all it knows is Correct Craft and MasterCraft, but when you check out the west coast it is slam packed with Tige'. My friends gave me crap cause they have old mastercrafts that they live by but after riding my boat they didn't comment a lot, but they certainly haven't talked crap since, not to mention one of them does have a 2003 X2, the others are like 93's though.
But anyway i wouldn't let it get to you. its all personal preferance.

Oh I don't let anything get to me, I mean I bought the boat, and I LOVE it. I was just wondering how it compares. (I didn't really shop around) I have been behind tige's and my friend that has one talks about them so much, and my basically second set of parents are looking at getting one this fall, so I beat them too it

I find that most people that talk negative about the Tige wake has never actually been behind the boat. For anyone that hasn't ridden behind a Tige, it is an excellent wake and you should really get behind one. Any of you guys are more than welcome to come see us in Dallas and we'll give you a pull behind our shop boat. It is a 2004 22V Limited

I agree...I love the Tige wake, its great.

[Domsz06]

yeah, I love my wake, and just got back from the lake

I have had the opportunity to ride behind a 22iR and the wake seems small, soft, and washy. How do you guys make the wake better?

I don't have any opportunity to ride behind anything else, but on my 21ir i put about 1200 lbs, and I'm looking at adding about 600 more to finish it off. Mine launches me, but my problem is I just don't know how to really handle it. Right now I jump real hard, and everything, but I haven't figured out how to let the wake Throw me up. I know it can do it, because I've seen people, maybe one day I'll figure it out.

properly weighting and correct speed will produce a very solid wake. I have a 21i R, with 600 # in the gullwing, 250 on each side of the motor, and 400 in the walkeway, wake was great, and we only had 3 people (2 in the boat 1 boarding).

my next plan is to try 600 in the gullwing, 600 on each side of the motor and a 600 in the walkway....

hit that about 23/24 mph, and taps on 7.....dreamy.

[Domsz06]

that should LAUNCH ya Jeffro

I ride behind a lot of different boats. I have only had a few opportunities to ride behind a tige. The 22iR I spent some time in had a 500 lb fat sack in the walkway/bow and one in the rear. Total around 1000 pounds if you believe they hold that. With the taps set at wakeboard and 4 people in the boat the wake was very washy, a little small and soft. I was wondering if that boat needed more weight, if it wasn't capable, or what? I ride behind the VLX, X2, and SANTE on a more regular basis and all of those wakes are much better with regard to size, shape, and hardness. I was just wondering if maybe the 22iR isin't the boat of choice for the best Tige wakes? Or if there was something we should do to make them better.
