I'm almost 100% sure that when Tahiti splashed the Southwind it was called the 'Super Tiger'. The 'Tiger' was the old 18.

Yessir I heard you were pretty much the go to guy when it comes to Tahiti info. After looking through pictures and the help of a few guys I believe we have come to the conclusion that it is a Super Tiger.

Thanks, I check in now and then to see all the cool projects.
MDomingue12, you have the old Tiger. Tahiti built a gazillion of them, so did Kona and a bunch of other shops.

Found this on Vintage Jet Boats. They have brochures for a lot of different companies.
Some cool old ads over there.

Old rigger you need to write all the shit down in a book or something don't want everything you know lost some day 👍

hahahaha
I think I've bored my share of boat owners enough through the years. thanks though.
By the way, Hardin also owned Berkeley a few years later and that made it very tough for us (in my opinion) at Advantage. I was GM/rigger there and the owner had a rule that we couldn't buy parts from any company that built boats AND supplied parts. This was a few years after Advantage was up and running because they built a ton of boats early on with berks in them. So we couldn't buy Berkeleys because Hardin built Tahitis/Carribeans, couldnt use Dana billet parts because they also built boats and there were 2 more players like that but I can't think of them right now. Those were the main 2. Again this is my opinion mainly from my years for working with Roger but if you're not using a berk you're doing it wrong. lol He wouldn't build a jet without one, many tried to get him to install another pump but he stayed true to his way of building.
