Easiest way is to upload it to photobucket.com and copy the img code. Paste it here.

I have a '98 PRE2100wt that I got in 2002 from the very picky original owner. He took incredible care of the boat and trailer and i now do the same. Neither the boat or trailer has even one scratch what so ever! Always get compliments on the package. Garage kept and wiped down completely after every use and waxed top to bottom every year... bottom of hull, trailer and even the bottom of the trailer is waxed every year. The tower was custom made in 2002 - Tige edition Rat Cage by Wake Designs.. I have since made a custom sloid frame bimini that mounts to the tower just under the speakers. I love the look of the older Tiges and this is probably the best all around slalom/wakeboard boats I have ever seen!!

I would love to see a pic of that bimini top! The one we have is too low.

Prop replaced.

I bought one from a local tige dealer and then got a spare from ventura,CA the prop repair guys. I checke the shaft for run out and it was good.

We purchased this boat a little over a month ago. We have been to the lake 5 weekends already and loving it. I bent the prop last weekend while my daughter was skiing but we are not ready to end our season. I am looking for another 13 x 13 1" (I think). The prop measures just about an inch and definitely not 1 1/8". Does any body know if it is 1"?

I'm pretty sure you have the same prop as mine. I've got a stainless 3 blade CVP 13" x 13" x 1 1/8". I contacted ACME asking for advice on which prop to upgrade to, they responded that an ACME 515 would be the best for my setup. I just got it installed the other night, but haven't had a chance to test it out.

You will probably need a prop puller to get your old one off...I'd see if there is someone near you that can just loan you one for the day.

The size will be stamped on the hub of the prop. If you do a lot of skiing, I have my 14x18.5x1 1/8 Cutter that came on my 21V. Sell it cheap. Get yours repaired and have a spare. Nothing like a bent prop to ruin a great weekend. Most of us carry a spare. Congrats on the new boat, how old are the kids? Mine grew up on the lake and it is the greatest family time you can have. They are grown but still come home to go to the lake. Have fun.

I love the engine! Partly because I installed it. I think this boat jumps out of the water faster than my friend's pre2150. I don't think I'm getting everything out of it since I never can get it up to the recommended RPM range for WOT. I'm not sweating it that much because she burns enough gas the way it is.

To get the RPM in line with the recommended WOT range, you might need a new prop?

Waterspots...regular waxing w/ a 3M wax, and a chamois wipedown at the boat launch. Luckily for us Minnesotans we don't need to deal w/ dry 105 degree days, just hot and humid ones.

That's a sweet looking boat Joe!

I really like the look of the tinted windshield.

Here's ours.

1994 2000SLM Comp w/ 300HP Mercruiser (30 hours on the engine, 420 on the hull)

You've got a beauty. How are you liking that 300 HP Merc? I love the looks of the older ski boats, so simple and sleek, no bling.

Whats your trick with keeping the water spots off the black? I was doing great when I was washing and waxing on a regular basis. Then moved to over Babe's Boat Bright and boycotted the washing and waxing (that's when the spotting came back). I guess when its 105+ your going to get spots no matter what you do.
