So I bought another boat last night. :)

[RiverDave]

My thought process is the swim step is low enough I can slide my ass onto it and then get into it.

As well I need to teach my kids how to ski / wakeboard etc and Stacy can drive it.

If part one doesn’t work out this weekend it maybe for sale. Lol

2000 Tige!

 

[farmo83]

Nice!

 

[SKIDMARC]

OH SHIT!!!! You may have crossed to the dark side with some of your inmates!!! Really nice! Congrats!

So do I hear a wakeboarding forum coming??? If you think about it, it could really grow RDP! Seriously

 

[beaverretriever]

Oh shit; a wake boat?

 

[stephenkatsea]

WTF! Antlers. Hmm. Not exactly popular here at one time. Lol. Enjoy. Hope it works out great for you and the family.

 

[Ziggy]

Shoulda kept the 34 and put in the handicap side door...

 

[brgrcru]

Honestly we have planned on getting a little ski boat for awhile for the kids.

Much easier for tow sports than any of my current boats

 

[Q4mtxUS]

[rivermobster]

Pull that stupid roll bar off and that might actually be a cool boat!

FUNCO making boats now?

 

[RCDave]

RD, the tower could be set up to lift you into the boat! A cable and a few pulley's and whalla.... j/k... LOL

 

[Q4mtxUS]

Sweet...Isn't it?

 

[Meaney77]

I smell a wake boarding boat section coming

 

[rivermobster]

Did you just call RD a whale??

 

[ka0tyk]

biggest problem with the tige's is that the front sits so low it looks like you're swamped 24-7. especially coming off plane to a stop.

 

[RCDave]

Did you just call RD a whale??

NO! Not looking for Tribal Drums here (i.e. not so kind exit from RDP) LOL

 

[COCA COLA COWBOY]

Do you automatically hate yourself when you buy one of those boats? Just curious...I would ask the same question to a Gen X'er that groes a man bun.

 

[Motor Boater]

They don’t ride very well and if your towing, wakeboarding etc and you slow down to pick up a rider they easily take water over the bow. I have a 24. It’s a great value for a wakeboard boat.

 

[lbhsbz]

Was just thinking that...A nice swing out boom would work great for that.

We plan on using it mostly mid week. .

WTF? Is there an icebreaker on the nose of that thing? lol

 

[River Runnin]

That’s fucked up!!!

Remember the video of a member here pulling up to Roadrunner in full submarine mode?

 

[Blackmagic94]

Was really hoping it was a botë


Nice boat though

 

[beaverretriever]

We actually had a paraplegic customer buy a new Nautique from us and install a boom with electric lift. Super clean install and barely noticeable.

 

[lbhsbz]

Is your ankle well enough to pull on a pair of black socks already?

 

[Canuck 1]

Your ass might be able to slide onto it but will those arms be able to hoist you the rest of the way?

 

[Mike Honcho]

LOL I love all the comments welcome to the dark side. Even though I gave up wakeboarding some time back I agree with the others about the front being low on the Tige make sure you both are aware that you can swamp that mother fast even with no weight in it.

On a side note how do I change my screen name?

Day 1 0900

Cruising with Dave

 

[guest hs]

Well Dave the only good thing about this is I can get you Tige parts at a discount. I would have taught the kids to ski behind your Schiada.

 

[Q4mtxUS]

WTF? Is there an icebreaker on the nose of that thing? lol

Haha...kinda looks that way. Certainly different looking yo?. The pictures under the compartment doors reveal chopper gun construction technique..

...but antway...Good onya RD & Fam, nice ride. Enjoy

 

[fmo24]

Beware those early tige’s Like to scoop up the lake when you slow quickly Just be cautious when getting used to it.

 

[guest hs]

The boat has probably the best tower ever made on it. The guy use to make use to chill with us back at Needles marina his name was Carey. I think the 08 crash out him under.

 

[Kylemenz1]

I've seen more then one swamped at Parker because of that. Probably driver error was a factor also.

 

[ONE-A-DAY]

Thats actually a ski boat, flat bottom at the transom, as we got older we added the tower as wakeboarding came into the main stream and falling skiing started to hurt more. It really doesnt make much of a wake unless you fill the thing full of sacks all over the place. Not my boat, a good friends, spent many hours behind it on the slalom runs at Castaic and Naciemento back in the day. Much different than the wake board / surf purpose built boats out there today.

And yes its been swamped a few times, very easy to do if you have people in the bow with the sloped down nose.

I think you are talking about the model before this one which was the old Ski Centurion Falcon mold.

 

[cxr]

Took me a second to get that because they don’t do a cruising for kids at monster storm.. lol. But I got the joke now!

Dick!

If you know how to drive it isn’t a big deal.

 

[RCDave]

Just load up the stern with coolers stuffed with CL's. Problem solved
