New to Tige Owners and Looking at purchase of a 2000 20ci. Boat is very well kept and LOW hours (90) on a Black Scorpion engine. Any ideas on fair price in the upper Midwest? Ideally I'd prefer an open bow but this would do the trick if I can get it for a fair price given how clean the boat is. I'm a skier, barefooter, and recreational wake boarder who grew up in the late 90s boarding behind an I/o, and occasionally other inboards with single fat sacs (that's all the boarding precision I need). Thoughts on pricing guys? Any other thoughts are very much appreciated also, thank you!

Id say that boat will range from maybe as low as 13k if rough condition to as high as 17K with 15k ish being the middle of the road. I owned an 01 20i with open bow and hated the open bow. They seem a little pointless as they dip without ppl in bow and will dip even worse when ppl are in bow. If I were to buy a DD again it would be closed bow to save on maintenance and upkeep.
I was constantly cleaning water out of front bow and compartments and that's part of the reason I got rid of the boat.
The low 90 hours doesn't seem accurate as that says they were putting around 5 hours a year. Perhaps they unplugged the hour meter? I'd check a little more into it. -
Thanks for the info! The hours is accurate I believe, it's a private non listed sale via a mutual friend. The owners wife says SELL because it never gets used. The boat has only been in the water a day or two in each of the last 4-5 years and prior to that was used on a small lake for dedicated pulls. The owner also has many friends on the lake who he skis with on their boats regularly. What should I worry about with such little use in the last few years- seals, impellers, other?That price range is exactly where he is at, hopefully I'll be a Tige owner soon.Comment

I'd never pay more than 12-13k for a 2000 DD without an open bow. Less if it does not have PP and an upgraded prop. That seems to be the going rate for a well maintained DD of that vintage from one of the 'Big 3.'Comment
