Congrats on the new boat, and welcome to the Tige family.

Looks good! I like the tower mounted mirror and tinted windows

Right on. They are great boats. Yours looks like it has seen some love. Welcome to the site.

I do have a question though. When they reupholstered the boat, why did they just cover up the old speaker holes and the cup holders on the doghouse? The doghouse kinda looks like a naked Ken doll without them.

I honestly have no idea... but I did notice that the cup holders were gone haha... I may try to find some new cup holders and cut holes for them in the vinyl... the holes are still there if you run your hand across where they normally are... I thought that was strange as hell too! Where are the speaker hole supposed to be on the doghouse?

Nice man - congrats! Just bought the same one and loving it so far. Downsized from a 27 LaveyCraft i/o. Liking it so far, although reverse is tricky.

Reverse (sometimes even forward) is tricky. I came over from an outboard. When I bought my z3 the dealer took me out for a couple hours showing me the ropes. Get out with someone who has had an inboard. I am learning very quickly. I have to make sure I set up docking so I enter the dock/trailer by turning left ( if possible). Boat will alway reverse and pull the rear to the right. I have gotten to the point that I can spin the boat pretty tightly (unless windy, then I struggle). Little bump forward with wheel turned to the left, little bump reverse, little bump forward, little bump reverse, little bump forward, little bump reverse, little bump forward, little bump reverse, little bump forward, little bump reverse, little bump forward,......... Above all, and I know it frustrates a lot of people waiting, but take your time!

I worded that kind of funky. There were no speakers in the doghouse. They were in the side panels. I replaced all my plastic cup holders with stainless ones. I don’t remember what I paid for them but, they have been worth every penny.

Here are some old pics form my 97 for speaker locations. Interior varies slightly to the 22i
