on the new Bu's

[wannabewakeboarder]

now malibu is coming out with some pretty neat little idea's
they now have new very functional boardracks to fit most skates board and whatnot

a swim platform with a rocker(what dose your loook like it it scratched and dinged) so it will save fins from sracthing and things like that

but one thing i do not like is that on some of there responses have a new windsheild design with holes cut in it on the corner i would hate that

im just wondering what are somthing that are really functional on your tigé and some thing that you wish tigé could work on in the future

i thing tigé should offer a more functional ballast system

more of a "bling package" with chrome....maybe not (hot days, hot chrome)

and optional waterski/wakesurf racks

[zad0030]

Well me and Dom want more room on the sundeck!:D

well why didnt they think of this sooner?

[Coach]

The Bu hump is nice but the transom center on the Ve and RZ2 is one of the best inovations out there. The new BU racks have to be tested first. They are new and are nice, but the real test will be in coming years with the cord that hold it together. MC has the best racks on the market and has the patent on it(should say they bought it). Tige has done a great job with inovations. Ballast is an area they might want to rehash on and how it can be done better and that it is need for the hardcore riders yet is not necessary if you are a casual rider.

i dont get what your syaing about MC's racks

the transom activitve center is a dream it should be offered on all models.
i was lucky enough to go to stateamind's demo this summer and we rode the 22vé it was kickin

i hearh about board racks breaking from jpretti he said they pelaced them tho
i thought they were very functional

Any of the MC board racks from 05 on are the best that are out there. A smaller company made the racks in 02 or 03 I think and they were bought out by MC (similar to how Microsoft buys up smaller companies with good ideas) and the racks are found exclusively on all MC. If you have ever used the MC racks you would agree they are the best on the market.

[chpthril]

No, it means you should not critisize someone for doing something that you do yourself.

Surprised you have never heard that saying, it's as old as Stonehenge ;) :D

[wannabewakeboarder]

ohhh i see

do all new tigés come with snap out carpeting?

also how about pylons, are they optional or standard equp.

[zad0030]

Im pretty sure pylons are standard on all tow boats.

[wannabewakeboarder]

i was kinda thinking that they were opt. on 22i but idk

just post your ups and downs on this thread...hopefully tigé will read it and look into makin some changes

better factory ballast
better screw heads on SS/RR


kinda start a list for tigé:D :D

It is for baby sitting.

[talltigeguy]

Don't get me started on that pansy pylon Tige puts on its boats:mad: :mad: :mad: Tige is the only manufacturer that would request I pull tubers from the lifting rings. Then they put the lifting rings below the waterline on the RZ2...:rolleyes:

[TigeDuner]

Lee, glad you spoke up. I knew you would have a comment. Go read the thread on the ballast install if you need to remember what this site is all about.

[spharis]

On our non A/C aircraft, there are holes in the windows that have a little air vent that twist and locks open. Those would be sweet to have on the side glass for those real hot days. Wonder if I can get some....hmmmmm.......

[Tincup]

How about the ballast systems, stainless cup holders, lumbar for driver ONLY!!! Anyone else is not paying gas, and docking lights, and swim lighting for when I need to concieve another child on accident. That's I guess I got....

[Tincup]

oh.......and heated seats for mamma.

[Original Wing Nut]

I think ballast system would be great as standard equip. I don't know that we will see it. It would be going away from their marketing for all these years that all you need is taps. Taps is great, but on a wake boat bigger wake is always better, but where do you draw the line, 1000#, 2000#, 3000#, 4000#?

[Moki]

Ballast is so overwieghted...err..I mean over-rated:D And that is why I am putting in a ballast system this year.

By the looks of your Avatar, how much more do you need :eek: :D ;)





I'm not far behind you either...........on the ballast install that is :D

[dogbert]

BTW, we've had several threads on suggested improvements...usually after one of us visits a boat show to see the other boats. Some of the ideas make it into the new models, some don't.

[Domsz06]

nothing is perfect, there is always things you want added hence aftermarket:)

[mtnsmith]

Speaking of just at a boat show, I was just at the Miami show, which is HUGE! The only tow boats there were Nautique and Mastercraft. They did not have an MC x-14 which I did want to see, but they had a couple different CSX's set-up various ways. Those things sure sit low in the water with the ballast full, the noses of the pickle fork were way lower that an RZ-2, seemed like you could take a wave over the bow really easy, plus it was $98,000 with the big crusader, hard top t-top, high end JL stereo set-up, and board racks. Nautique had a 236 Crossover and that had some neat things-I looooove the snap-out carpet above all things!!! The pop-up pylon and dedicated removable cooler storage behind the driver are all things I would love in a Tige (hint hint;) ), I don't know about the lever action hydro gate, it seemed really fragil feeling to move the lever back and forth on. They also had Shaun Murray there chatting with people so that was pretty cool. He was a really laid back guy and we just sat in the 236 for a little while since it was a little slow at the show on Sunday morning. When I asked him how much ballast he rides with, he said not to tell Nautique, but about 2,000 additional pounds ontop of the factory 1,056, and usually about 5-8 people. He just took delivery of a 236 for his personal use and said that is the only way to get a truly great wake out of it. He said the Air Nautique 210 had a "better" factory wake, but still needed ballast.

how about the z5 cargo racks/bimini those look very functional

GAS CAP ON THE OTHER OR BOTH SIDESSS AHHH THIS IS A KILLER FOR ME. BECAUSE THE BOAT BACKS UP TO THE RIGHT AND THE CAPS ON THE LEFT....

the ve range has gas caps in both sides

[Domsz06]

gas caps on both sides? SWEET!!

[wannabewakeboarder]

gas caps on both sides? SWEET!!

yes that comes in handy do you guys know who thought of it frist?

that would be a good idea for a car/truck...gas stations are allways croweded

[zad0030]

I think correct craft did.. but im not sure.
