I considered a 23ZX in early 2021. Went to the dealership in northern WI to look at a new one.
My immediate pro was that they're huge, and I mean HUGE. Freeboard and internal space doesn't compare to any Yamaha. They're also easy to setup for wake and surfing with the GO system. This one came with a decent sound system, but I think the new Audison on the '23's is better. This one had the thruster on back and all the goodies... I was ready to figure out how to take out a loan on this princess until...
I go to test the sound system and it's broke. Dealer couldn't figure it out and said it would be a warranty thing. Being on the Tige forums now for a couple of years, that's apparently not unusual. This particular boat also had the windows tinted (looked nice) and the dealer was really up front about that the whole window frame need to be replaced under warranty. Also, the thruster on these boats had it's own battery and charging system, external from the boat alternator. So in order to use the thrusters, that battery needed to be plugged in and charged after every use.
We ended up quickly passing on this boat due to the two big warranty issues before it was even sold to it's first owner. Being on the Tige groups for a while now that seems to be the continued case, and even more so post-covid. Also seems that, with Tige owners, some boats are phenomenal, some are lemons. The other thing people complain about is the raise in cost for Tige... when I looked at the 23ZX fully loaded it was a $120k boat. Now I think that same boat is nearly 200k. And at that price, you're in Centurion and used Nautique levels and you're not fighting possible build quality issues.
I still pine after a beautiful vdrive for water sports, but my wife constantly reminds me that we are 80% boating on a river with a mean depth of 7'. Logs, stumps, and sandbars are something I don't worry about with an 18" draft at speed. I'm sure with a vdrive I'd already be through a few $600 prop replacements.
Sucks to boat on a river...
