Looking for info on Tiges

[wakeboard dad]

On another site I was told to look at this brand of boat as a good 1st wakeboard/ski boat for our family. I have owned boats for over 30 years but not really informed on this style of boat. Have cottage on lake here in Wisconsin[Any Tige dealers in area??] spend alot of time with kids on water one loves to board the other ski.Looking for something similar to the 20v model, used ,[so I dont have to 2nd morgage the house] always purchased great low hours used boats.Any help or opinions would be great!!

You've come to the right place. We love our 22Ve for the great rough water ride, room, storage, and all around versatility. What ever you want to do on the water, except fish , the Tige is great.

The 20v is a good choice, but also take a look at the new Z1. Cant answer alot of questions about it since it was just released for 08, but it's looking to be another awesome Tige boat.

There are a few owners in your area on here, I'm sure someone can get you some dealer info

*EDIT* I see that you are looking for used.....probably wont find any used Z1's, but still worth looking at.

Reeds Marine in Delavan would be a little bit of a drive but they are a great dealer... My dad bought our first boat from Tom Reed 20 years ago... Same location... There's also Shipyard Marine in Green Bay... I don't know about those guys though...

Try and get to the Milwaukee boat show this weekend if you can. Reed's Marine will be there (so I'm told) and you'll be able to check out all the boats.
We have a 2002 20V and we love it. We're actually in the Kenosha area, so not too far from you. If you're not in a hurry to get a boat I'd be more than happy to take you out and let you see it for yourself.

I have a RZ2 and we love Tige boats, this is the second boat we bought from Tige. I did a lot of research before I bought out boat and Tige offers the best value for your money in my opinion.

If your kids like both boarding and skiing, the Tige is the only way to go. Ski wake on a Tige is good, boarding wake is outstanding. How old are the kids, and how long have they been on the water?

Two boys 12 yr. old is the skier.10yr. old is the boarder.Both started at 4yrs. old and are quite good. We do amatuer wakeboard comp. in summer,looking for something [bouy course] for skier.Little wakeboard man flys around pretty well ,wake to wake ,grabs,even lands a backside 360 most of the time.We own a 19ft. sea ray now w/ a 135 outboardand it works, but ,well ,dads considering something different!!

Boarding and skiing....sounds alot like my family. Tige' is a great all around boat. Our 22v skis good and boards and surfs great. The 20v would would give you the best of both worlds.

With the inboard, you'll be able to get into wakesurfing 20V throws a great wake with out a lot of weight.

wakesurfing is something older ppl can do too

haha ur welcome anyways. I always give a good ride. atleast I can ride ur board now

[Ruune]

if you want to get into surfing, skiing, and wakeboarding, you should definitely try to get into a Z1! Its a bit bigger than a 20v, yet not the bohemoth that the vé and RZ series are.

Reeds in Delavan is great. I purchased my 20V new there for less that some used ones are asking for and I have a fairly loaded 07 20V. They are a great dealer especially after the sale. The service dept takes on all add ons and customer care after the sales cycle is over. I still have not taken possesion due to trailer vs my garage issues but they are hanging in there with me trying to resolve.

I just talked to Keith at Reeds the other day and their boats are there now. They will have a Z1, a 24VE and anothe 24 footer.
