    I did notice that the supra would be a little bit longer and also weighs a little less that the tige. Tbh I'm leaning towards the supra because of the z5 rack and the playpen. Ill just have to see how it drives

    the playpen is nice also for the extra observers seat.....and the z5 is tops for surfboards and sun protection....... do i sound biased? Robert at wake9.com gives thumbs up to tige , but then he comes with his own ballast.....I love that guy he is such a posi and so cool for the surfing community....I just wanna know if he surf's

    My interior was falling apart until I replaced all the self-tapping screws that SC built it with. All the folding panels lasted about a year before all the screws backed out or fell out completely.

    Engine is fine, except for when they mounted the fuel pump to the motor and we all had vaporlocking problems. I believe that's fixed now though.

    A few people on here have also had problems with their swim platform brackets breaking off the boat while the boat was in the water.

    Just a few points you should know. I know no one else on here will say it....

    I have also had a few problems, but all were taken care of by Skiers Choice, Indmar or Roswell. The swivel board racks replaced, walk thru platform above ski locker had screws replaced with bolt/locking nut, faulty o2 sensor replaced on motor, front nav lights leaking water had to be removed and resealed, and my rudder last year had a hairline crack that was replaced by SC.

    The new 2010 swivel board racks are much better than the '08s, and these were all little items that like I said have been repaired. My biggest gripe about my boat was ballast fill/drain system that never worked properly since I purchased the boat. However, since '08 has been greatly improved, unfortunately SC would not upgrade my ballast system to the '09 setup so I had to do re-do the entire system myself.

    I ended up going through Roswell myself to get the racks swapped out. Ballast, still worthless. SC said they'd replace that bad parts, but I told them I'd rather have no ballast then to have a something that belonged in the grass. I was offered the upgraded ballast, but it was gonna be at least $600 with me installing. I'd rather install it myself after seeing the job done on other boats.
