Tige a waste of money!!

[MyTigeIsALemon]

I purchased a 22V riders edition this year in June from Family Powersports in San Angelo, TX. My first trip out with my friends resulted being stranded on the lake due to a broken gas guage then again because the batteries were faulty. I also experienced chipping around the rear ski tow pole on this outing. In the past few months tige has put more hours into my boat in labor than I have useing my boat. Problems such as Tapps, Docking Lights, Perfect Pass, Ovrheating, throttle handle& haveing an annual servie done that resulted in my engine being 3 quarts low on oil & 1 quart low on transmission fluid. After hearing my lifters rattleing I find that the oil is mostly grit, Undoubtibly due to engine wear & oil burning.
Regretably after going to Tige official Tony Fussell and dealing with him on several problems I regretably discover that he is unauthorized to make the decisions he has been makeing. This discovery being made by me sending in a written complaint & being sent to Andrew Reyes, the Customer Service Manager at Tige on accident. He practically told me that all the problems & promises before him didn't matter & that I had to just start over. After allready being to the Tige factory once, Andrew says he wants to have it done again, & have Robert Means, Quality Manager "take care of me." So I drive my boat to Tige & am promised over & over that my problems are over. I am told it was ready, I go to pick it up & I spend 4 hours telling Robert E. Means what he didn't fix on my boat. To make a long story short I had to leave without my boat because it still wasn't finished. Since then I was promised a new boat if I had more problems, which I have had & they have not kept up their end of the deal.
I think I have been more than patient enough & have decided to take it to the next level, starting with telling anyone I can not to buy a Tige boat. I'm looking in to fileing complaints with the Better Buisness Bureau & would like to hear from anyone with similar problems or advice!! I don't want anyone else to have to go through what I have!! Thanks for reading & let me know if your haveing similar problems!!!

[GIZMO]

Sounds like your dealer is the problem, not Tige'. Tapps, Docking Lights, and Perfect Pass were most likely installed by the dealer, not the factory. The throttle handle is removed when installing Tapps. If the hardware is not locktighted, the handle will come loose. The gas gauge is not reliable in any boat I've been in, Tige' or not. That's why I use a fuel flow meter. As for the oil levels being incorrect after your service, that is the responsibility of you and your dealer, not the factory. How did it get to the point of noisy lifters? The oil should have been checked long before that happened. Every other boater I know, myself included, checks fluid levels every time the boat goes into the water. When you say the factory will give you a new boat if you have any further problems, we will all have further problems as long as we own any boat. They are all mechanical and will need repair sooner or later.

[joe8395]

Sounds like one very awful Tige dealer...like Gizmo said...we all have little problems...just need to fix them before they turn into big ones which appears to have happened to you.

[Domsz06]

I love my tige, sounds to me like your dealers sucks @$$

[Da_Boogieman]

i hope to love mine, picking it up next week . . . . 20v yuummmmoooo

[Tequilasun]

I would agree that the dealer seems to be part of the problem, but we are only hearing one side. I think it is quite possible that he is unfamiliar with the watercraft he purchased, and watercraft in general.

I think it is the job of the dealer to not only sell and service these boats, but also talk people who are unfamiliar with their watercraft through some of the routine things dilligent owners do. I.e. check the oil, tighten tower bolts, pay attention to fuel levels, etc. Far too often people purchase watercraft and try to use them like a car, but as any experienced boater can tell you there are a world of difference between the two. One of the huge ones, is that the fuel gage, on any boat does not read accuarately in all circumstances.


Did you tow from the ski pylon, is that why you had chipping? I know it sound unlikely, but these mistakes sound to me like a novice. That and potentially horrible dealer!


Sounds like an electical issue, that got compounded into a large group of issues.

Please update us as to the resolution of this problem.

That's my opinion given the current information.

[Andrew]

Troy,

I understand your frustrations and I would like to shed some light on the situation. First off you purchased a Used Demo Boat with 163 hrs. Yes, you had some problems but sometimes things happen which are out of any bodies control. Your dealer and Tige boats have step up to the plate and brought your boat into factory where it was gone through top to bottom and all faults were fixed. We evan updated your boat with the new 05 graphics and conducted a complete service, all of this was done at no charge to you. We at Tige have and continue to stand by your purchase and have honored all warranties even though this boat was purchased as a Used Demo Boat. I appoligize for any inconveinence that you have had concerning this boat and your wait at the factory. As I have stated to you and on this forum Tige will honor your boat with new boat warranties. Please contact me if you have any questions.

Andrew Reyes

[Tequilasun]

Thank you Andrew for shedding some more light on the situation.

The steps taken to help this owner seem quite Extraordinary given the conditions.

[joe8395]

If you are going to buy a used boat, be sure you don't have your head up your ***.

[Domsz06]

Wow a horrible story has many sides. Amazing how when the truth comes out it's a completely different story. Way to be tige for stepping up above and beyond your call of duty!! You have done it for me, and now it seems like you do it for everyone. GREAT JOB!!

Now that is what I call some good service.

[MyTigeIsALemon]

If Novice is trusting your Tige dealer, then I would have to agree that I am a Novice! And yes Tige has tried to fix these issues but after one is fixed another arises. As to the gas guage, It shouldn't say full when you are sitting still, & be empty. Beleiveing the dealer filled the tank like he promised he would, again would make me guilty of being a Novice by trusting the Tige dealer. As for the issue of being a "used boat" One of the reasons I bought the boat was because I was told that ALL WARRANTIES would start as of the day I buy the boat, NEVER was I told that this would be concidered a used boat, & on my CONTRACT my boat is listed as NEW. So the issue of being "Used" should not be an issue.
As to tige giveing me new 05 graphics, nice hugh? Sure but does that make up for the drive from Seguin, Tx, the 4 hours haveing to help tige do what they promised to do haveing a list in front of them. Haveing to fix what they fixed Ex. Carpet hanging from seats when you open them, the replaced cushions looking like rejects from another boat. And then leaving the boat there because it still wasn't finished? Not sure about anyone else but to this Novice, Time is Money, & I've spent more than enough of each on Tige.
I appreciate the replys & questions, as well as from Andrew who has tried to fix my boat but seems to not realize what all I've gone through the past 5 months. This Novice just wants what he paid for!

[joe8395]

I think you should get a moomba.

[Andrew]

troy

Per our last conversation, I am still waiting for you to advise me of a date that we can arrange to take care of your perfect pass system. Please let me know when would be the best time to meet up with you. Look forward to talking with you.

[Tige22ityper]

Boo hoo.....everyone has a sob story about some product or experience. Sounds like Tige tried to satisfy a customer, but customer is still pissed.

Who cares.........Tige has not improved in sales each year because their products are a waste of money, its because they have improved the product.
Sell it, trade it, do whatever you want. I don't think Tige is going to miss you.

[Gardyloo03]

I actually bought mine "new" , and when I say new mind you it had never touched the water! I still had a slew of problems with it, and am actually still working to fix some of the problems that i have had since day one (it has now been about 4 months). I would go as far as to say that one may have just slipped through the qaulity control department at tige. Although in defense of Tige and their dealers (mine is the Slalom Shop at Lake Texoma), the dealer has been very patient, and worked hard at helping me resolve these issues. I especially thank Rusty Wilson at Texoma for his hard work. Tige has always been helpful when calling them direct to ask questions about anything relating to my 22v. Since I continue to have unresolved issues I am considering letting go of my 2004 22v and purchasing another boat. I am now in the process of searching for a new one looking at several brands namely malibu and natique. I would say this though that through dealing with having issues with this specific boat, which doesn't seem to reflect the level of quality most people recieve on delivery, I have not ruled out purchasing an 05' Tige due to the cooperation of Tige personel and their dealers. Now I have a long road with alot of contemplation on wether or not I give them another shot. Once again though thank you Rusty Wilson and Tige for the support and help you have given me even in light of me still having problems and the season being about over.

[shane]

I bet if you sell your Tige and buy another boat brand new you still have problems. When and if you do get another boat come back on this site and be truthfull and tell us the problems you have.

[smendez]

Here's my pint of fuel for this fire.

How can you buy a "new" boat with all the warranties, etc, when the boat has 165 hours on the hour meter? My calculations say that this is like buying a "new" car with over 36,000 miles on the odometer.

I can't believe a dealer would sell a boat under these conditions. Something's missing - What is it?

[Gardyloo03]

Shane I am by no means a novice to the boating world. I understand that all boats have problems, even when they are new. I was pracitcally raised on the lake and on boats from the time I was 2 months old, I have been around the block a few times. Consider this I have owned 4-5 other boats all bought new, and I know what to expect. Although with my last purchase I think I was correct when I say I had a slew of problems from day one. I am currently looking for the list I made after my first day of use and will be happy to post it when I find it. As for what smendez says I couldn't agree more. Im not saying I haven't enjoyed my Tige because I do, I am just saying I was left and still am somewhat dissatisfied. The feeling of every weekend having to trailer it and drag it back to the shop after every use to work on things that weren't correct from the beginning is somewhat taxing.

[MyTigeIsALemon]

It's very exausting indeed. I'm not sure what you fellas have against being satisfied with a purchase as large as this. And as to the issue of hours being on the boat when I bought it, from some of the posts includeing Andrews, it sounds to me like a Tige with "165 hours" is an OLD boat & this changes the game some how, that a Tige boat with only "165 hours" is expected to break down this often and is normal and that I am a novice for not knowing that. Well that my friends is the whole point of me posting. So potential Tige buyers will know what to expect because I for one didn't expect to trailer my boat to tige after every outing with a boat that had only 165 hours on it. I beleive Tige should take steps to inform buyers of this 165 hour mark that a boat becomes in a different cattagory as other boats. Even though I am concidered a novice to some, my experience with several BAJA's were very good & we never had any problems. Anyways, can't wait to shed more light on the subject. Maybe I'll see some of you at the shop geting our OLD boats worked on!
Oh, & Tige22ityper, being as you sound so educated on this matter, explain to me why a customer would still be "pissed" if everything was fixed?

[shane]

Hey Gardy, I hear you. I live in Louisiana and I bought my Tige in Mississippi. I got tired of driving it 2 1/2 hours one way to have the dealer break something else when he was trying to fix the original problem. He then went out of business and I was left without a dealer in my state and the nearest dealer was over 5 hours away. I started paying a local boat mechanic to fix my problems and just sucked up the cost. Guess I like my boat alot.

[2Step]

I recently purchased a 02 20V from The Slalom Shop Lake Lewisville and I have had a few problems that you would naturally expect when buying a used boat. I have to give Slalom Shop (Billy, Steve, Nicole, and Mike) and Tige props they have gone way above the call of duty and have fixed and are fixing things that they were not required to fix under warranty conditions. The customer service is OUTSTANDING. I recommend Slalom Shop and Tige to anybody.
As for those with MAJOR problems PM your vehicles before you use them and the risk of problems is significantly reduced.

Chris

[Domsz06]

I know that I have an 03 21ir. I bought it brand new. and had about 8 problems with it after the first use. I took it back and the fixed them all. it ran great for the rest of the year. I took it out all year, and had a few more minor problems, mainly a vinyl tear from the gull wings. No big deal. The biggest problem I had on my boat so far was the stearing linkage freezing up after 70 hours. I hope it doesn't do that again when I hit 140, but who knows. I haven't owned another inboard boat, but have owned/helped work on several outboards and I/O. Boats are not like cars, they breat down so much more because of the enviroment they work in, I mean water is very hard on boats, plus, look at the rpms you run them at. I do you normally run your cars at about 1000 below redline all the time when your driving it? I know I don't. Boats are going to be a problem, and I bet that all boats have their problems. I can't speak from experinece because this is the first inboard boat I have had. I know my friends with malibus, and ski n. and mastercraft all have the same type of problems I have so i really don't consider tige to be any worse. I do know that anyone I have talked to with tige, including my dealer has been nothing but AWESOME to me. Can't say so for my friends and their dealers. It all comes down to what you like and want. We all have our opinions and we all have horror stories and every boat has it's bad side. You find a boat that everyone agrees on and says is the best and I know I'd buy one, but they don't exist.

Dom

[joe8395]

I think the horse is officially dead now....

[Tige M.D.]

tige warranty clearly states under exclusions, the following are specifcally excluded from coverage under this limited warranty agreement, "Any boat used for dealer demonstrations that has accumulated more than 40 hours".
i feel that 100% of the problem is the dealers and not tige's. i also feel that andrew and tige could have sent this person packing but chose to deal with and attempt to do right by this customer.

by the way, how much did they discount this demo boat? i sure hope it was worth it.

now, i hope this horse is dead

[havasu bound]

I bought my 1996 tige pre' with 96 hours on it......in 3 months my hours are now at 160. I have had NO problems with my boat so far.
I love my Tige and will stand behing them as a producer any day of the week! Your name even states..."mytigeisalemon" Every mass producer creates one lemon....every dealer sells one lemon, sadly, you got it. It sounds like your dealer has done a lot of work to your boat and is so far standing behind their word.

Just a quick question.....if you owned a company......and you mass prdouced a product that had as many poosible problems as a boat has, and someone had those problems with your product, would you be pissed if that person came on here and completely bashed your product...told the people not to buy it and stay away from it!? I just thought telling a public forum that is based around tiges', not to buy a tige' because it is a waste of time....was a little out of hand.

Good luck with your lemon

[whitlock87]

I was new to boating, never been in one or own one, two people at work have boats ( one Bay liner and one Master Craft ) after talking to them I ended up getting a 2004 Tige Switch V From Tige Water Sports.
They would not let me take the boat home until The sales rep ( Tom ) took me to the lake and taught me how to work everything. He even had me put the boat on and off the trailer 6 times. In all Tom spent over two hours with us.
I now have over 100 hours on the boat, and have never had any real problems other the cosmetic.
PS: I love the boat, it can out maneuver any boat I seen
:D

[simsob23]

I am not sure you know what a real lemon is. My brand new previous boat from another manufacturer was a lemon in every aspects and the factory didn't do anything to try to fix it besides an incompetent dealer that couldn't differentiate a screw from a bolt. I had to hire my attorney and it was only because of a very lucky instance that we were able to get the manufacturer to buy the boat back, otherwise I would still be here fighting for it today.

The simple fact that the demo boat had so many hours would have made me a little skeptical from the very beginning. Obviously the discounted price was one of the major reasons why you decided to buy that particular boat. Perhaps you ran in some bad luck, but you do not have any reasons to criticize Tige to the extend you have. I bought my 22V new in May and I did have a few bugs here and there, but overall they are great boats and the factory does stay behind it's product.

Be thankful you bought a Tige and may be your should reconsider your position a little. They obviously went the extra mile to make you happy, even though you might never will be judging from your words.

[Ruune]

165 hours... wow. Just out of curiosity, are you going to go to enterprise rent-a-car and buy one of their fleet cars with 50k miles on them and expect it to be new? additionally, the Tigé warranty specifically states that a demo boat sold with more that 9 hours, its not covered under warranty. Bottom line? Boats are put throught the ringer when they're demoed. Tigé knows this, and has gone above and beyond the call of duty on this.

Furthermore, you referred to your oil being low, taking it to the point of your lifters starting to click, etc. I've got about 130 hours on my boat and I've already changed the oil 4 times. I'm also wondering about your oil pressure gauge... did you ever look at it? hmm... makes you wonder.

As for customer service, I did have a problem with my interior, and Tigé replaced all of the affected seats- no questions asked. I also had a problem with my tower, which they remedied by replacing the entire right side base. To me, this is getting the job done right.

[Ponyh8r]

I purchased my 04' 21I from Family Power Sports and I must say that they are a very good Tige dealer.

I have a few things to ask:

1. When your boat ran out of gas did they come and fill your tank up with gas? And did they give you money for a full tank?

If I know the story correctly (I am consistantly on that lake) I believe that they did, even though they had no duty to do so.

2. After discovering the problems, didn't Tige offer you an extended warrenty on the boat for 2 years?

Even though they had no duty to do so.

It sounds to me like you want your money back on the boat or a new boat, and that you will do anything to accomplish that.

Also,
Why would Family Power Sports be on your bad side? They sold you the boat and it had problems. It seems like your beef should be strictly with Tige, not the dealer.

Family Power Sports has consistantly bent over backwards for myself and other customers.

To perspective buyers of this dealer, feel free to Email me at anytime for info on this dealer.

[poohpotta]

I purchased a 2004 22V Limited from Ski Hut in Nashville, TN. Besides a few cosmetic issues, the boat has been great and I put 40 hours on it so far. It sounds like this dude just is trying to scream loud enough to get a free boat out of Tige or something. I think that Tige has went above and beyond the call for this guy and I applaud Andrew and his entire team for that.

[littlehouseonprairie]

OK, let's not get to the point of insulting this poor guy. Regardless of his experience, a boat fresh from the dealer with the Tige name on the side is supposed to be reliable and trouble free... at least under reasonable use. This guy is spending enormous personal time getting the fair deal he paid for. If the engine is damaged due to improper lubrication, this is not his fault. It is, however his problem, since the boat is now a big long-term maintenance risk. It was supposed to be a "new" properly maintained boat. The dealer should be transporting the boat to the factor for you as many times as it takes. Everything, including the upolstery should be made perfect. I advise you to hire a lawyer and send him after the dealer. It will cost you less in time and fuel than you're likely to pay if you try to do this yourself. You'll be amazed how fast you'll see an improvement.

Last fall I took my 01 Tige 2300V to a local Malibu dealer (no Tige dealer in my vicinity) for winterization. I forgot to give them the key so the decided to hotwire it. When I opened it this spring, the ignition was all messed up and they'd tried to caulk the cover back in place. You can't believe the bozo job these guys did. I'm good with tools, so fixed it right myself. My point is, some of these dealers are complete imcompetents. Tige makes a good boat . Your beef should be with the dealer that isn't honoring your deal.

Oh, & Tige22ityper, being as you sound so educated on this matter, explain to me why a customer would still be "pissed" if everything was fixed?

Since you stated that you have owned a boat before how many hours do you put on it in one year.

How the hell would you think that a boat with 160 hrs on it is considered like new????

You understand exactly how hours translates to how much use a boat really has had on it.

I don't think that Tiges with 160 hrs are old and will breakdown but 160 hours is definitely not a new boat.

Just to give you an idea. I've owned two boats before my current '05 22i. On all of my boats I've averaged 40 to 50 hours of use per year.

160 hours would translate to three year's of usuage for me.

Just exactly what is your definition of a new vs. used boat?????

So a car with 20,000 mile on it should still be considered new in your eyes????

I rode the crud out my 20V with 192 hours on it in one season and imo it runs better than when I had it new!
Yo da you going to the lake today? Call my celly if you do.. I still have yet to see you out there buddy!

[ragboy]

y, but we bring our boats in and wipe em down, and take care of em. Those demo boats are road hard and put away wet. ;-)

Thats a lot of hours for a demo boat if that is one season. Sounds like the dealer was a feminine cleansing product.

[turbonine]

I bet if you sell your Tige and buy another boat brand new you still have problems. When and if you do get another boat come back on this site and be truthfull and tell us the problems you have.


I did! Had my first issue after 101 hours this weekend. Had a lead wire going to a rocker switch that had no power. It was horrible, it took me 7 minutes to fix. Was probably to do some previous wiring I did on my LED or shower install.

If you keep doing shoddy work like that you will not be allowed to work on your boat:D

You guys are brutal
This is a forum for Tige owners to talk,ask and help others who have purchase the same type of boat for one reason or another.
I have posted complaints and suggestions but I have to say there are thing that could and should be fixed that Tige will not always address. All of you have seen pictures of my trailer. Finally my dealer and dorsey has stepped up to get quote on fixing my trailer, that was a week ago no quote yet. When my boat went in to have gel coat repaired at my cost and they found bubbles under bunks they contacted Tige at that time (May 2, 2008) to this day close of business they have not committed one way or another about repair. I own a business and if I did not address my customers problems and make it right no matter what the warranty says I would not be in business. when you pay as much for a boat you expect that next level of service. i have owned several Rv and they all have problems but the dealer and mfg i returned to for the next one was the company that took care of businees after the sale.

I own a business and if I did not address my customers problems and make it right no matter what the warranty says I would not be in business. when you pay as much for a boat you expect that next level of service. i have owned several Rv and they all have problems but the dealer and mfg i returned to for the next one was the company that took care of businees after the sale.

At least they have not declined it!

If your dealer says they're waiting on Tige for an answer, that call your dealer's Tige rep, and see what he says to do next.

You are right. It took them 3 hours to decline my gel coat issues on my 24Ve. :D

That's my thoughts......as long as they have not said "NO" then there is still a chance. :02: Now, as far as what Studman feels is enough time to make a decision, is up to him as my feelings will be different.

:ot: Tell me about it, the IRS's fav saying is "I see we have it, it's in review" :eek: :confused: :mad: For 3 F'ing yrs.

Sounds like this guy wants Tige to give him a new boat because his used boat had a few minor problems! Most of which this dealer apparently is trying to blame on the factory. Sounds like a bad dealer issue to me. Also, once a boat is transferred to someone else, aren't nearly all warranties void?

:ro: :ro: :ro: We all have choices in life, you must of gotten to excited and bought a lemon without looking it over. It's not Tige's problem, it's yours...take resoponsibility for yourself.

Well said RZ, well said. "**** happens, and when it does you gotta wipe your *** and flush it down the toilet." -I forget the old man that told me that. Now can we please close this thread, it's like a million years old.
