Midwest Boat Shows.

[MoneyPity]

Is Tige showing new models at any Midwest Show no farther than 350 miles from Chicago? A 4-5 hour trip is no problem without boat in tow.

From What I can tell so far Tige is not in the Milwaukee or Chicago Shows. Even though I own the 2007 20V I would like to look at the new models and go from there.

Andy Nesbit who owns and operates Western Ohio Watersports in Dayton, OH will be at the Cincinnati Travel Sports and Boat Show next weekend through the weekend following. They are even open some of the weekdays in between. It is not that bad of a drive fron Chi-town. My boat that I bought will be on display and maybe a couple of others. I don't know exactly what he has planned. I also don't know if Tige regional reps plan on bringing one of their demos to show. I know the one demo looks so similar to mine, I don't see that one coming, but who knows? I'll be there pretty often. I'd love to meet any of you guys if you come. Let me know when you plan on coming.

Good luck finding a boat show with Tiges. Is your selling dealer not going or no longer a Tige dealer?

I'm afraid our Feb show will be missing about half the towboat manufacturers this year, my buddy, the local Tige, CC, Moomba, Supra dealer has gone out of biz :( That leaves MC, Bu and Centurion :eek: :confused:

Ours in Cincy is confirmed to have Tige, Malibu, and Mastercraft. There used to be a Centurion dealer, but I think they went out of business a year or two ago. I don't know if anyone has filled the void. Still, it seems that there is not much inventory being ordered, so it'll be interesting to see how many 2010 models of the different manufacturers are on display. I'm thinking not much. I'm guessing there will be more new 2009s than 2010s, but that is just my :02:

The Milwaukee Boat show Jan 15th through the 24th has Tige listed as showing with Shipyard Marine which is based out of Green Bay.(That is who I bought our boat through) However the dealer that is closer to Milwaukee for Tige is Reed's and they are not listed on the attending list.

I sent an email to the guys at Shipyard to see if they will have any 2010 Tiges at the show and they will not. They told me it was Reed's territory and that they will not have any new 2010s there.

There is also always a Supra/Moomba and Correct Craft dealer there amidst the sea of runabouts, pontoons, and deck boats.

Thanks for the info on the Milwaukee Show. I may head up there. It is a small show but when you are looking at our types of boats the show is good for that.

When I talked to Reeds, they dont feel the ROI is there. I have the utmost respect for the Reeds service Team headed up by Keith and know his team will get the job done right:ro:

I am a bit dissapointed in 0 sales feedback after the sale:(

Anyone know when the Oklahoma City Boat Show is? Will Tige be represented there? I love my boat and I am not in the market but as you guys know it is always cool to go look.

Although I like those models I am interested in in any improvements in the entry level 20V series. We love the boat for my wife and I including our adult daughters and fiancés. What we are looking for is if Tige finally putting grab handles for the passengers who cannot reach the nub of a tow pylon or the rails of the wakeboard tower. Some time in the years of boating someone will cause you to make a radical fast turn and there is nothing really for the passengers to grab onto. I have seen grab handles in RZx pictures and am wondering if this minor change has been implemented in the 20V. IF not, I may see what a good Upholstery shop like Riggs Brothers can come up with ideas wise verses butt ugly chrome handles sticking the passengers in the back. Even my 1994 18' FourWinns had rear bench grab handles that matched the vinyl and because of gunwale design fit into the scheme of things.

Don't get me wrong but I feel that back bench seating needs a grab handles. Although We really enjoy the 20V safety is a concern especially the way she turns.

I am glad that a Tige dealer steed up to the plate and decided to show Tige oats at his show.

The Louisville boat show is the end of next week. Tige will not be there. Supra, Centurion, MC, Bu and a few others...but no Tige :(

Come to Cincy! My boy Andy will be there, and I'll be there helping him this Saturday and next Saturday. Look for Western Ohio Watersports. He is a Tige only dealer.
