Any Oklahoma Tige owners out there

[jeffveldstra]

I live in Tulsa and was wondering where all the Tige boats are. I have yet to see a Tige on the lake.

I live in OKC and have mine on Texoma.

Well mine comes in next week! Normally I'm at Texoma, but the first time out, it'll be at Grand on my way home from Arkansas (Not counting the wet run w/ the dealer). :)

I currently keep my boat in OKC that way I can make a quick evening run out to Dirty Bird if I feel the need, or if I don't have a full weekend to leave.

I'm in OKC and just bought mine 3 weeks ago. Took it to Ten Killer for the first trip out and it rocks!! We are going to Murray this weekend.

Tanner where do you stay at texoma?

[Tanner]

We used to stay in Catfish Bay... but now my parent's no longer go there and I no longer have a Free place to stay, so when I come down I stay at the Oaks right by Newberry Creek. The cove there is always glass. But when it's party time I load the boat up and then drive over to Soldier Creek to drop in there since it's such a short ride over to the Islands.

Tanner, where did you get your boat in Arkansas? I usually go to Keystone 20 min away or skitook and Grand on the big weekends. All the Tige owners must live down by OKC.

Theres a wakeboarding tournament on Eufaula Aug. 6-7 for those who don't already know. It is near the town of Eufaula.

I ordered it from Skier's Wharf Extreme (Rogers, AR). It's supposed to come in next Fri. :)

North Central OK. Normally run on Lake Ponca or Kaw. We have had a Tige since '98. Currently have a blue and white '02 22I. We will be at SPF.

Scott,
I got a blue and white 02, 22v. I'll keep an eye out for you. I'm heading up today.

I've seen some other threads about Tige' owners getting together. Any of you know about such events here in OK?

[jeffveldstra]

I have not heard of anything in OK. Now that there is not longer a dealer in OK it probably will not happen.

Scott, I looked for you at SPF but didn't see you. I did see another 02 22v riders like mine and another that looked similar to mine but maybe a year older.

[Tanner]

Of course that's not to say there won't be a dealer here soon ;). I know Tige was looking at a small dealer in Elk City .... of course I mentioned to the rep for our area that THERE IS NOTHING out that way. It'd be convenient for me seeing that our family ranch is out that way... but no one else really. I think they are trying to talk Skiers Wharf Extreme into moving into the Tulsa area.

If I'm not mistaken, didn't H&H used to be the dealer here? What happened to them.... crappy service?

[jeffveldstra]

H & H said they got rid of the Tige line, they will still fix tige's, but they are not very friendly, I usually take my boat to Nicolas Marine in Tulsa for engine stuff, I don't know where I would take it if something else happened, maybe the new dealer in Rogers, AR.

[john3540]

I figured H&H would still be the place to have it serviced but you are right, they are not all that friendly. At least I've always gotten the feeling like they have better things to do then talk to me. I guess I need to have them do my 20 hour service though.

[john3540]

I just called them and they will do my 20 hour service for $130. That sounds like a pretty good price compared to some that I've seen others post that they paid.

That's Skiers Wharf ... ask for Mark and he will take care of you.

[Dents]

I feel the same about H&H. Not only are they not friendly but I would not trust them the touch my Tige. I suggest anyone needing service work done to use Davids Sports Center just on the other side of the road from H&H. They are a MC dealer but are very friendly, heplful and will do whatever it takes to make the customer happy.
