Tige is coming after the G23....rumor has it they have the 'G23 Killer'

[GCSuper]

I thought the new 247 was malibus version. At least that is what a Malibu owner told me. Also, if MC is scared enough to release an xstar early (or before it was ready to go into production), then purchase a G to study for insight on how to keep up w Nautique, they should find themselves a new group of engineers and design team members. Be proud of ur product, don't poach others. I am convinced that the MC design team has gone color blind in the last few years. Some of the color schemes I have seem lately are unbelievable (in a bad way)

Couldn't agree more. Especially in hot climates. No way would I want that much dark material in Texas.

This is your first post so I'll keep this short and sweet.


WSA mechanics are WHY I own a Nautique. No kidding.

WSA sales, mainly Frank, is the reason I own a Nautique.

I had narrowed down our choice to a 2013 Tige Z1 or a 210 and was blown away that when I priced them out similarly it came to a $600 :eek: difference. I couldn't justify that price for a Tige that we didn't think was as quality a product. And now reading all the issues the 2013 Tiges have had with their ConvexVX I am glad I went with the 210...and this is even with all the issues I have had with my 210. The company and the dealer have gone out of their way to take care of us. It's funny that the TO forum had a Nautique thread go up just before this one went up.

I would buy a Lexus before a BMW, but not a Tige before a Nautique. But the real question is if it can be towed safely by a GC.

I don't get on here enough, will someone tell me what GC stands for so I can get this joke that everyone loves

[CradGen2]

GC = Grand Cherokee - JEEP

Funny how some things are a matter of perspective...."WSA sales, mainly Frank, is the reason I own a Nautique."

Frank is the reason I own a Nautique too...He received my boat as a trade in when someone traded his 2008 sante 210 for a malibu. And Frank basically gave it to me. And thankfully txjole looked at it for me, before it got on the road from tx to minnesota. Frank was fine to work with I have no complaints, he was very complimentary about buxton. All good. I can see why the guy traded it in as there were plenty of problems with the 2008 210 that did get fixed under warranty (i got records from buxton), but were enough that I too would think twice about a nautique. But for me as 2nd owner for that price no worries.

PS...You guys are plenty negative about tige, but maybe want to check if your crankshaft pulley bolt is tight.

And even that was a screwy deal, everything I pointed out on the boat they told me was on the list to fix and then they shipped it without fixing. Still wish I would have been there the day it was loaded on the truck, might have been able to stop it.

[scottb7]

txjole, They wrote me a check later....

[TxJole]

Still it was a slap in the face to me, everything I pointed out they say they will fix knowing good and well they were not. I should have called you the minute the tech got in the boat with me wearing tennis shoes and I went first bare footed.

Tige is getting desperate at this point. They know that people are catching on to their poor build quality even though they throw a good wake so their theory is, "Hey! maybe if we make the wake good enough people will just not care about the quality!"
So, they drop PCM and put all of their funds into a new hull and just forget about build quality.

And then overcharge you for it.

ya its sad. My Tige has been pretty good, and overall not a bad boat. I would put somethings on it better then Mastercraft. With that said I have no faith in the newer tige boats. By dropping PCM its just a cost savings to go to Indmar.

You know it is so nice having the bad boy boat that all the other company's are guning for. Hope we never have to worry about nautique playing catch up.
