Tige'.jpgTige' 2.jpgWe purchased our 1999 Tige' 2100i and have loved it ever since. The motor has 968 hours on it and has never skipped a beat.

I have a '97 2150 WT with a 377 blue scorpion engine. 364 hours.

Great boat! Don't know the answers to the other questions.

TeamAllen, do you still have you 1997 2150? I am looking at buying one out of texas. Any advice for someone who hasn't owned a Tige previously? Is there storage aft of the rear seat? under the observers seat and under the bow seats? Thanks

Jbutche post some pictures if you buy it

There is also the storage locker in the walk thru that is decent size.

One big thing to check is the floor. Make sure you walk around and push down with your feet. Especially in front of the ski pole and along the passenger side. That seemed to be where a lot of my damaged occurred.
Check the center window. My center window had a tendency to 'fall through' when I hit waves. Just check to see if there is any wear on the bottom portion of the windshield(see attached pic).

- Check the pulley for the water pump to see if it is plastic or metal. I had a plastic one and disintegrated on mine and I had to replace.
- Check that the taps actually works, make sure the plate moves when you hit the switch.
- Make sure the gauges work and check the bezels(make sure they are not cracked) - I upgraded my gauges and the wires were very brittle underneath
- Check the steering to make sure it turns easily. Probably best to do so during your lake test.
- Ask when he has changed the impeller - If this breaks apart, the boat will start to overheat.

I put a fat sac in the rear storage locker. It seemed to help weight it down more.

Overall I loved that boat and wish I still had it. If

If it has a Titan tower, it might be my old boat.

Haha sorry just noticed the million pics I posted. I tried to upload through my iPhone and I thought it didn't go through!!! I e been doing tons of different small upgrades to it since I purchased last year sept 2015 so it's slightly different than what it was when I first bought it. But can anyone tell me what type of tower is on this boat?

[NICKYPOO]

Man, this is usually right up my alley but, I can't think of what tower that is. Obviously after market. The key is the rear legs mount to the base leg. That's a rare design and I know I've seen it. I just can't seem to place the name.

[Ruger761]

That's a good looking boat. I like the tower on it fits very well with the window lines and the bimini/speakers.

Check the leaf springs on the trailer every now and again if they are the mono-leaf style. The mono-leaf were know for cracking on those years right in the middle where the alignment bolt goes through it. Its not a fun trip home when that happens

[Adriano1]

Chris at Tigé Watersports should know. I bet that's where the boat originated from. Even though the tower was probably added later.

Thank you guys ! And thanks Ruger for the input. I actually have to check over my trailer this weekend since I'm towing it to lake havasu next weekend def look for that. I do have a couple of question regarding the boat. It's a 1996 pre 2100 where can I order replacement parts for this thing. It's been really hard trying to piece things together that are missing or need replacing. I ran the wiring on the tower myself and ordered the speakers and mounted them including the rest of the sound system. But as far as nuts bolts and brackets I've had a hard time trying to figure out what parts are missing from certain locations since they were never on the boat when I purchased it. For example the latch or lock that holds the backrest on the observer seat from opening when no one is sitting in that seat. Any parts help would be a great help thanks guys. Also I'm in Southern California image.jpg
