I test drove a 2011 in Oct 2011. The backing in the upholstery (seats) was warping due to the ehat from the sun. The dealers excuse was that they forgot to put on a mooring cover while they had the boat up at Lake Powell the week before. My question was "What about when we are using the boat? How will we protect the seats from warping?" They replied, "No problem, we will warranty them." I was less than satisfied with that reply. Strike one. I noticed the rear access panels had a lot of flex to them while opening and closing them. The same backing board was used in those panels. It was barely 1/2" thick and was not stiff enough. Also, some screws were already stripping out. Strike two. They brought the boat out to the lake for us to demo. The owner/salesman was trying to hide an overheating issue. He would rev up to 4500 RPM for about 15 seconds, then slow down to idle. After 15 minutes of this occuring and him not letting me drive the boat (strike three), I decided the Tige wasn't going home with me.
I talked to other Tige owners, the upholster on some years was hit or miss quality with stitching coming unravelled. Obviously, not all Tige boats have these issues, but it does point to a quality issue.
