Checked out the Z1 today

[tessa]

50K, huh.

Some weird pricing going on. The MSRP on my semi loaded 2007 20V was listed at $57k+ although I paid a hell of lot less. It seems to me that the dealers set their own MSRP. When I bought mine I asked for the Monrovia sticker or dealers invoice because I had already inked the deal and paid for the boat and they emailed me an internally generated dealer doc

[ragboy]

Sheesh, I paid $57k for my 24Ve, without stereo and ballast, but just about all else.

[talltigeguy]

That is the 320 HP engine as well. Pure .

I guess then some guy comes in and thinks he gets a smokin' deal at 50K.

What is the difference between the 340 HP and the 320? Both are EFI according to the website.

Tige has been talking price point and look what they do to us...

[kana12]

I would realy consider a Z1 but never for that price.. wow..

I don't know what the cost diff is but the 320hp is stout. I've driven Wminnich's 22Ve, ballast filled, 2 in boat and 1 boarding, and I couldn't feel the 20hp diff. Maybe with more peeps/ballast you might notice, but still a capable power plant.

That is a perfect engine for the 22i and anything under 22ft. If someone needed to shave some $$$ off a 22Ve/RZ to do the deal, I would say go with the 320, you wont be sorry. For a 24Ve/RZ, nothing less then 340

I would really consider a Z1 but never for that price.. wow..

I think they will still have that boat after the show

[scoot18]

WOW! If that is what the Z1 is going for, what have all of the other models inflated to?

22Ve must be pushing 75k now, if that is an actual $ for the Z1. I agree with you all, the dealers must be pulling numbers out of their a$$ and wait to see how well they go over, or how may people sucker for it!

Heck with that price, you might as well go get a MC!

[Timmy!]

For some reason I thought this boat was supposed to top out at $50k and be more of an entry level boat. I figured our dealer was loading one up just to show how much you could get for that price which when I looked at it seemed like a LOT of stuff for the $$$.

[TexasTige]

Scoot, what are you talking about, might as well go MC??????????
ALL: If you will notice, this particular pricing for the Z1 is a LOADED, I said LOADED Z1. You can start a Z1 at $40k, But this is not a stripped Z1. It is LOADED.

There is $15K difference between any of Tige's models, from a bare bones boat to a LOADED boat. Huh, $55K minus $15k, what do you get? $40k(~$39K).

Compare this to any of the comps 21 foot boats, any don't forget, they don't drive, ride, handle like a TIGE.... MC = KIND OF GAY.

[dogbert]

Boats are more expensive here in Texas because we're closer to the factory

[Lucky 275]

bashing the competition... I now know one of the reasons why my buddy bought a different brand.

I can't believe I'm reading this! Not smart business dude...

I'm totally with you Lucky... That's totally not cool... I'm really glad I didn't buy my boat from TX Tige... It's not about the pricing... It's just not cool to bash like that...

So I guess the Z1 should sell slightly higher than a 20V until you start playing the options race. In Boat reviews I went through tonight without options but almost base configs except the 340 HP MSRP for the 20V was mid $38's and the Z1 was high $39's. Again neither of these numbers were loaded up with options. For instance a E series tower they try getting up to $3k for but the number can be knocked down to $1800 or less in the off season so Tige is not immune to high markups on its options just like all the others.

Like most any business, the profits are in the options/upgrades, anything else just pays the bill. Cant fault anybody for making a profit.

I'm certainly not faulting anyone for making money, it's the bashing that I don't like...
