2010 Tige RZ2 on Midwest Tour

(dgeiler) · (dgeiler) **Join Date: Oct 2009** 10-25-2009, 8:47 PM

I had an opportunity today to spend some time with Tige's factory representative, Tony Fussell, and the 2010 RZ2 he is touring through the Midwest. Thought I would share a few photos of this sweeeeet ride! After looking at the 2010 RZ2's online the opportunity to interact with the boat live and in person was welcomed. The 2010 enhancements (upholstery, snap out carpet, ballast system, new lining on swim platform, and Tige Touch) are impressive. You won't be disappointed if you have the time to sneak over to one of the dealerships that factory reps will be visiting on their road trips! Tony, thanks for the time you spent with me today showing off the RZ2.

Nice lines, I just don't like the red dash. Does anyone know what the "off" means on the ballast gauge?

Just a guess but it is probably an indicator of the ballast pumps running?

LOL yeah I'm thinking the same. The pumps are "off"

I love the look of this boat but still cannot stand those graphics.

SS,

Agree, too much red on that dash for me also. When ordering a Tige, the order form allows you to choose the dash color. Black would look good on that boat.

I like the drivers seat. The mesh is a good idea. Should help you from sticking to the seat.

I really like the looks of the boat.

SS,
Polarbill is correct. The "OFF" on the Tige Touch screen indicates that the pump dedicated to that specific ballast tank/bag is currently OFF. Just touch the ballast tank of your choosing and that tank will begin to "FILL", touch that tank again and it will begin to "DRAIN". You can interact with Tige Touch at http://www.tige.com/touchscreen.php

David when you say Midwest tour, do you know what the stops on the tour are??? What boatshows they are bringing it to?

I'm assuming this will be a boatshow tour not a lake or dealership tour (boating is kind of over in the midwest right now).

(illini88) · (illini88) **Join Date: Oct 2007** 10-26-2009, 1:13 PM

I'm pretty sure it is a dealership tour, but I'm not sure.

There are three 2010 Tige RZ2's currently touring the US. The RZ pictured above was at Grand Lake Boats in Oklahoma this morning and will be in Stillwater, OK this afternoon, then headed back into Texas. I believe the west coast Tige rep is in Idaho and Wyoming this week and the east coast rep has stops in Arkansas and Tennesse, then will be headed back to Lake Lanier in GA. The best place to check for Tige road trip/tour stops is on the Tigeowners website. http://tigeowners.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=46

TJ,
I did not directly answer your question as to the "tour". The reps are visiting dealerships/lakes.

I looked at the Tige website from above, looks like the closest they come to me is like 4 hours away!

Oh well, boat pics look sweet. I bet I will see something similar at the boatshows this year....

I've always thought Tiges look sweet.

How much is the RZ2?

I saw in the above link the saltwater rz4 was listed at 90k and then I threw up just a little bit in my mouth.

That thing is loaded up!! Also guessing thats list price as well.
