2012 Tige RZ2 ordered! pics...
 

Sold my MC X2 and jumped into a whole new world in the Tige RZ2. Ragboy was super helpful and answered every one of my annoying questions before I pulled the trigger. I was teetering on many different brands and just kept coming back to the Tige.

I started out in a 2006 MC X2 that I have owned for 2 years. I really got into surfing but was limited by the short mushy wake that was being thrown by my MC, I just could not get it dialed no matter what I did.... sold it!
I have been back and forth between an RZR, RZ2 and Supreme V226. Due to many factors (Dealer proximity, product knowledge, reputation, resale etc..) I decided on a Tige RZ2. I am actually getting one of the first 2012's off the line, it should start being sprayed in the next day or 2!! A few new changes for 2012 on this boat are Wetsounds REV 10 tower speakers vs. Pro 80's. Standard bow filler cushion/cooler like on the RZR. I think there will be some new options in Gel Schemes as well but as you will see below in the pics of my boat to be built they do not come into play. This is the exact boat minus 2 of the tower speakers, I only wanted 2 REV 10's. I will be putting in the custom RZ2 sacks (1100lbs each) in the rear lockers. I will update with build pics as I receive them.

Sorry to make everyone read all that! BIG shout out to Chris Luckett at H20 Sports Unlimited in Stillwater, OK for hooking me up and being one of the most stand up dudes I have dealt with!
On to the pics....

smooth looking ride my man, many fun filled lake days ahead for you for sure!!

Thanks Bret. I know not everyone is a fan of the RZ2 graphics and I had pondered going all white but I actually really liked the look once I got it dialed in.

Looks at little familiar, great colour choices!!

Thanks Brad!

Sharp boat.Ilike the color contrast.You will love it,enjoy it.

Great looking boat! congrats!!!

Im so jealous......
an RZ2 is my dream boat man,
Totally sweet ride!!

Gorgeous.

Congrats.

You musta been doing it wrong, my x2 throws a sick wave, we can smack airs all day long.

The X2 is a great boat, but for surfing it has its limitations. My buddy has a X2 and the surf wake is steep with no length to it regardless of how much ballast we put it in.

Good choice Jake

That is a sweet boat! Too bad the custom surf sac isn't a factory option yet, maybe one day!

Mines pretty much maxed out weight wise, done a few mods too. The wave breaks about 5mtrs from the platform so its plenty long and steep... We run heaps of weight up front.

Bloody nice boat by the way, thats def on the list come new boat time.

Thanks Pete! Man I tried everything with the X2, I really loved the boat but ALL I do is surf and there were just better options out there.
I would guess they cannot offer the custom sacs on this boat factory due to going over the weight/people limit imposed.

I will keep updating with build pics.... really excited!!

Congratulations, thats a sweet looking color scheme.... you can never go wrong with white! You will really like the REV 10's, they are great speakers! definitely an upgrade from the Pro 80's...

How is the wakeboard wake on the RZ2? ballast configuration? I know the surf wake is awesome....

Hope you get some water time in this season with it.... enjoy!

HERE'S the wakeboard wake.

Great looking boat!!! I love the new TIge's

That knee boarding wake looks a little washed out. I would get that fixed so the pro level knee boarders don't start complaining. I know when I was 10 and knee boarded I hated a washed out wake.

and its so much bigger man would love to go from my small boat to a 22ft boat!!!

I'm 52 and can clear that wake easy.By the way that's a 75' line on the kneeboard .I'm on a 85' line on the wakeboard and can clear the wake easy on that also.:D

Robert, wake looks like everything you need... and 52 and on the board clearing the wake, nice work, thats awesome!

You just dont hear much about the RZ2 wakeboard wake, seems like most purchase this boat primarily for surfing only. Nice to see you can launch on the wakeboard as well....

OP, being a fellow Tige owner-looks great post some pics when u bring her home. Also don't forget to join http://www.tigeowners.com/ and post pics when you get it.

Thanks Dave! I did join TigeOwners.. great site.
I am planning on updating pics tomorrow. Dealer told me it was coming out of the mold this afternoon and he should have some pics in the AM.

I love the build pics!

Me 2 Lance, glad you enjoy them! I think its awesome they are snapping photos and sending to my dealer almost daily!

for those that 'arn't' from ok-lahoma, H20 is an awesome company - only place i've ever had work on my boats. They for the most part do all custom orders, and only order 1-2 spec boats a year.

Call them if you ever want to order a Tige and they can hook you up.

That's great,but how is a customer going to know if they want a TIGE if they can't test it out .Would you spend 40,000 to 120,000 without test driving a new boat?:eek:

Tower is up and REV 10's mounted!

Thats a nice looking rig you have coming together.

Very clean.I like the white with black hull and accents.Are you going with a black/white trailer?

Thanks guys. Trailer is going to be all black. I am into simple and clean....typically strip all decals etc from my rigs but like the black decals on this boat. I think it would be too plain all white, but thats just me.

I built the exact same set up in 09.rz4. And just added 4 white rev 10's. Looks awesome.

4 REV 10's?!! That must sound insane, I heard 2 and figured I was good! Lets see your rig SPRZ4, would love to see how it looks man!

SELLOUT!
j/k, nice boat for sure. Looks awesome.

LOL Thrall!! I feel like one! Couldn't find a boat in the MC lineup that surfs like these do for the money.

Getting close! Looks like the interior does have a bit of a different flavor...

LOoks sick man.

Seeing these boats coming together never gets old! Hope this isn't over the line, but how much more is it to custom order from the factory vs picking one out sitting at your local dealer??

DC I actually did order my boat through a dealer. The photos are from the factory rep that is nice enough to take photos and keep me in the loop!

That being said, I feel that I got a great deal!

The looks of these aren't my thing,but I must admit this one looks bad ass! Nice choice on the graphics and color combo it really looks awesome.Your "build a boat" shots didn't do it justice.Congratulations on a beautiful purchase.

Thanks Jay!! I look forward to seeing how it looks on the water.

Jake - my wife and I are building a new house right now and I'm more excited to see the build pics of your boat than I am of my house..

It looks gorgeous.. Congrats

Thanks Jeff... I am pretty excited too man!

I like that new interior (if it's real stitching).

Looks great!I bet you can't wait?Happy Boating!

Thanks Robert! Super excited to check it out, dealer said the interior shots dont do it justice, said they really focused on interior finish this year.

Picked her up today... good lord the surf wake on this thing with factory ballast is ridic!
I cant imagine it with the customs that are waiting in the box. Was kind of surprised the hose was only 1/2" though.
Few crummy iphone pics, more to come!

Congrats Jake!Looks Awesome!

sick looking boat! more pics and vids.

Very nice work!!! Congrats to you man. Must be stoked

Love that interior!!!! I think my '07 needs a 2012 interior!

Updated with a video of my brother wakesurfing this weekend. Taps at 2, speed at 11.4 - 11.8 with custom sac in surf side full and front surf side full.

very nice looking wave!!! i'd of kicked his butt for throwing the rope in unless you caught it!! lol absolutely love the looks of your boat!!

Ok- I'm new to the posting, but I also have a new 2012 RZ2.

I thought you wanted more taps when on the left side... Am I wrong on this?

Thanks,

So how much are these Tige RZ2's going for. They look great but I heard they sell in the 90K range heck even in the mid 80's that is crazy!

The amount of TAPS will depend upon how fast the boat is going, the amount of ballast weight, and conditions on the lake.

I find that having TAPS at 6-8 can cause the lip to curl at certain speeds.

Congrats on the purchase of your RZ2. You will really like the boat

nope, whoever told you that is crazy. the standard MSRP is about 65k, would expect to get a well loaded one in the mid 70's

Great looking boat! Congrats!

Congrats on your boat, really diggin' the color scheme... simple and clean! Enjoy...

simpleJ
A friend that used to be a Tige rep for years and years. He told me a 2012 RZ2 would sell in the 80's. I would think you could be in the low mid to high 60's on a RZ2. Tige has stepped their game up though. Maybe a extra 10K is worth it?

we just got an rzr, the factory MSRP was 57k for the stock boat, im feeling pretty confident that the rz2 is in the 65 range for standard equipment. and yes they have seriosuly stepped up their game, the 2011 vs a friends old 2008 looks like in his words "an entirely different company" and i was very impressed with the quality of his 08

regardless they fill the gap between MB/AXIS/MOOMBA and mc nautique malibu etc as far as price goes.

Great looking boat! Nice work.
