new 20i

[deanwarwick]

hey guys im don warwicks son, he never used his account and i was always posting on it so i took it and changed some details on it, but sumthin happened and i couldnt post nemore so i created a new one. here are some pics of our new 20i :D :D

[deanwarwick]

we love our new tige BUT there is one problem; the upholstery is really poor quality. we had one small rip within the first hour of use in the new boat and within 7 hours there were 3 all together. we werent being careless and we dont understand how tige can make such fantastic boats and put such pathetic materials in for upholstery. does ne1 else have this problem??? :mad::(

Nice boat. I have two three cuts but one was from a wakeboard fin, another one (um, let's say the kids did it and the IDon'tKnow ghost came out), and the other one was from the bimini top when I took the tower down. After that, we don't have any others but I think the fabric has stood up well for the past year. Interesting that you have problems. Talk with the dealer, they might hook you up I would think.

Nice boat, I like the color combo. I haven't had any issues with my upholstery but I would think your dealer would do the right thing and look at replacing it for you.

Good luck!

my fabric is very good quality. I'd talk to the dealer.

What is the deal-o on the back of the engine cover?

Good looking boat!

I have a 2000 model, and just replaced my first bit of vinyl. Good old Texas sun bakes the cover and it lays on the front vinyl and finally caused it to crack. I have 3 cuts from careless handling of boards, but everything else is fine. A friend bought a Tige, because he liked mine, and had some trouble with the seams ripping. They sent him all new interior pieces to replace the ones that ripped. Sometimes I think they pull the seams a little tight and that causes the ripping? Did yours rip in the seams?
Love the interior colors.

[dogbert]

Mine are doing that. In some places it's the seam thread and in others it's the vinyl.

[Domsz06]

my rear seat did that, but that was from all the in and out and in and out and some of my friends are large, as well as there was that seam in the middle. I had it redone and took that out so it will be good to go. The rest of the vinyl is perfect.

[da.bell]

Aha.... And that is why the 24Ve had a section close to the walkthru that flips over to carpet. :)

[Domsz06]

yup that's right da.bell

[Super B]

My 2001 21i seams are ripping on the rear seat and the passenger seat. The passenger seat is the worst one.

Nice boat by the way!!!

[spharis]

What is the deal-o on the back of the engine cover?

anyone?

[dogbert]

You'll notice that there are no more seams on the new boats and you have flip over steps that are carpeted. I'm just wondering if you can get new skins without the seams.

[dogbert]

anyone?

deal-o sounds about right :D

[da.bell]

anyone?

Hatch button???? However, the cover opens the other way....

[wakeboarder247]

I have NO idea.. At first glance I thought it looked like a heater dial (thought the red looked like the gradual heat bar thingy) but when looking closer it doesn't look like that. I have no clue.. :o

[deanwarwick]

for some reason the rips arent at the seams, its in the middle of the vinyl :S that was just from people sitting on it, none of the rips were from wakeboards etc so we are really confused why it tears so easily, we thought it seemed a bit thin too. and if thats wots its like with clothes im dreading to think wot will happen when there are lots of people onboard with skis nd stuff about. it kills me to see the rips already, i cud understand it if it happend 6 months on but 1 hour :( :( :(

spharis: whats a deal-o ??? :S

[zad0030]

Very nice, love the color scheme with the graphics.

Whats that thing on the back of the engine cover?

[da.bell]

We are trying to find out what that piece is above the cupholders on the engine cover.

[Domsz06]

no one knows zad, its the eternal question

O sorry i skipped over posts. It looks like a vent, But thats stupid if it is.

[deanwarwick]

lol thats the fire port, small flap on the back. i assume that IF the engine started smoking then it would come outa that flap to tell u to jump out :P

[da.bell]

All this anxiety today only to find out that that thing is a fire port.....

What is the world coming too?????? he he he

[zad0030]

[deanwarwick]

[Domsz06]

what the (*&^&%$%$*&^*)&^(*&^*& is a fire port!!!

[deanwarwick]

i dont really know lol but its there neways

[da.bell]

what the (*&^&%$%$*&^*)&^(*&^*& is a fire port!!!

Something that lets smoke out.

[zad0030]

no honnestly it is a fire port!

I believe you I just dont see its importance. If my engine is on fire I dont think a little hole on the back of the cover would be the first thing to let me know.

[da.bell]

i dont really know lol but its there neways

Now you are yanking our chain...... he he he

Where is Dog when we need him???????

:D :D :D :D

[Domsz06]

[deanwarwick]

[wannabewakeboarder]

does mine seem unusuallly crap?

[dogbert]

Now you are yanking our chain...... he he he

Where is Dog when we need him???????

:D :D :D :D

Just watchin'...you guys seem to get along fine all by yourselves :D

[TeamAllen]

Love the Color!

Was it made in the US? I think some boats in other countries are made/assembled by other manufacturers. Not sure. I remember a guy from New Zealand that had some messed up interior too a few years ago.
That might also explain the fire hatch thing?

[deanwarwick]

yea it gets shipped over from texas then conveted to UK standards....one of which is havin a fire port :(

[Ruune]

You need to do a better job of screening your passengers :D:D Or, just vote them off :D:D

Or a new "significant other" :D j/k

[dogbert]

Can't be too significant if he talks about her like that :eek:

[Ruune]

not an S/O... just a girl that was nice to look at, till she started getting bitchy.

Anyways, chicks like Tigés. This should be an option!:D :ro: :p
