Tiger Speed.
 

How fast will this Tiger go in fresh water? She has twin 600 hawks.

http://www.offshoreonly.com/esvon/page-12309.html Here somemore info. Does anyone know this boat?

Re: Tiger Speed.
 

With a full cabin as the ad says my guess is in the low to mid 70's...

You might want to budget getting XR's also. Bravo's on this rig need to be respected a lot.

Re: Tiger Speed.
 

73-74 mph is good as it gets

Re: Tiger Speed.
 

Thanks Guys thats what I thought. Do they have problems in any other areas?

Re: Tiger Speed.
 

I had no issues with the boat itself. It will chew up Bravos though. I loved my Tiger !!

Re: Tiger Speed.
 

You should be able to upgrade to XR's and sell the Bravo's then that package will be a nice rig.

Re: Tiger Speed.
 

I have a new set of XRs with Imco Lowers,they have 20hrs on them for 10,000,call if interested......810-650-5107...

Re: Tiger Speed.
 

I didn't think they had ever built a Tiger with a full cabin. That is a cool setup.

Re: Tiger Speed.
 

My wife would like that cabin alot more than my extended Cover Girl..... :D

The boat looks very nice and seems to priced to move.

Re: Tiger Speed.
 

Wonder if thats the same one I looked at before I bought mine?...I have 600hp and am having some problems getting my speed back, I may have to go to 24's to get the motors into the rpm range that they make power...I agree with everyone else, low to mid 70's....

Re: Tiger Speed.
 

Why didn't you buy this one?

Re: Tiger Speed.
 

I got to looking at my current one and did some photoshop to get the 88 off it and I liked the look of it better. Also the guy that owned it was'nt sure he was going to sell. I liked the paint on mine more, this is a nice paint job but for me, it's too much like the others out there, just a variance on the colors. also wasnt real keen on blower motors and Bravo 1's...
not bashing the boat by any means, just why I bought a different one:)

Re: Tiger Speed.
 

Thanks for the info.

Re: Tiger Speed.
 

Is this yours?

Re: Tiger Speed.
 

That's his all right.... :D

Quite the tree-trunk fest...

Re: Tiger Speed.
 

LOL

Re: Tiger Speed.
 

Negative that is a twin step.... Rob's is a 2000 straight bottom Tiger..... Same paint job except for the 88 which he removed...

Re: Tiger Speed.
 

Good catch.

Re: Tiger Speed.
 

I think Rob said the same guy built both Orange/Blue/'88' Tigers. Originally he built the straight bottom that Rob owns now, and then got rid of it to build/buy the twin step with a very similar paint/'88' design.

Re: Tiger Speed.
 

you all are correct, mine be straight and being ex UPS, wasnt a fan of Dale jarrett, and the 88 had no significance for me. I actually think it made the boat look shorter...I will be on the South River this weekend, where is everyone going to be?

you really cant go wrong with a straight hull, Scott. they will not be the fastest boat out there, but you will have a great ride when it gets rough. Never know, if i move up to 700 and NXT's there may be a set of Xr's for sale :D Heading to the races in Cambridge, I hit somme real rough, broke one of my cabin doors clean off. But I was still having fun, wouldnt have gotten as wet as I did but it was myself and my 10 year old daughter, and I didnt want to scare her silly.

Re: Tiger Speed.
 

And the blue stripe is a bit different on them too. :drink:

Re: Tiger Speed.
 

Has anyone seen this boat personally or know the history?

Thanks
Fred

Re: Tiger Speed.
 

aaaaa...Scott you in the market ?? :eek: I see "Pocket Change" is for sale !...Frank called me and told me the news :drink: :rolleyes: :p

Re: Tiger Speed.
 

whew big beers then, we pillaged your bar and stole your women that night:D

Re: Tiger Speed.
 

Dave I'm always looking. I heard you might be selling yours. Want to buy my Cafe?

Re: Tiger Speed.
 

Dave, Is that True???

Re: Tiger Speed.
 

Alright what the hell, all this talk about selling........who wants to buy mine????????????? :evilb:

Re: Tiger Speed.
 

na...no plans to sell...gotta get those new motors a spin ! :evilb: :D

Re: Tiger Speed.
 

one of the kramers should buy mine.... i need somethin to keep up with leopajm

Re: Tiger Speed.
 

Rob,

I'm in the same situation you are... I went out today and hit 79MPH GPS at 5000rpms with 28's.
My peak horse is just over 700 at 5600rpms. I think 26's or mabye even 24's will get my rpms closer to that 5600 and should make a difference.

Re: Tiger Speed.
 

I tought you put the 26"s on?

Re: Tiger Speed.
 

I didn't... I will this week though.

Re: Tiger Speed.
 

answer your cell phone tool, i had my 26's labbed and cut to 25's, you can try them if you want. I have some 24's coming this week.

Re: Tiger Speed.
 

How much?

Re: Tiger Speed.
 

to try them, free, if you want them 600 is what i have in them, I aint trying to make money off of you:)

Re: Tiger Speed.
 

I'll trade you a bottle of 30 year old Glenlivet?

Re: Tiger Speed.
 

I'm going to try my non lab 26's this week... I'll let you know. Yours might be just what I need.

Thanks Rob

Re: Tiger Speed.
 

if I was a scotch drinker I would..let me know how they run. I'm working with Brett and it should be right for next year, just blows me away that we have to decrease so much to get speed back. you still have 1.5's right?

Re: Tiger Speed.
 

Yes, 1.5's. It blows me away too. After the rebuilds I tried GL's 30 labbed thinking they'd be what I need. It's unreal.
