Way to go Fred's Manire!

I wonder if he will be getting a bunch of inventory that was unsold elsewhere...for good deals?

I haven't talk to anyone from Fred's yet. I found out by a add on ksl (http://www.ksl.com/index.php?nid=218...105&cat=&lpid=)

Are they the ones that were posting on WW asking people's opinions and everyone on there said not to do it?

Wasatch is no longer a Tige dealer. I have seen a guy from Fred's on Wakeworld a few times and he talks a good game. He was talking about Epics and I was impressed overall with his internet demeanor. Hopefully that translates well into customer sales and service.

So are they not doing the big Lake Powell trip later this year?

If I remember right, Wasatch has scaled back to just service, no longer selling any new boat lines.

I am pretty sure that means we are hosed for the Wasatch Marine reunion that we had planned for the first week of August, although I have not talked directly with Jwalk. Why would you throw a party for folks you no longer cater to? I suspect he may still do one for his Yacht folks, but I think he stopped selling altogether...so who knows? I would still feel guilty going to his reunion knowing that he is not a dealer of a product I am even interested in. Despite my current boat ownership situation, I still have a big spot in my heart for Tige. You never know what the future holds...

Fred's is awesome, they have always been my preferred local guys. Our first boat was a Capparal from them. They probably will not carry a huge inventory as they are more about full service and do a great job at service. Fred is a guy who cares what people think of his business. His son Brian is following his dads lead and runs the retail side of things. My is that this is a great addition to the Tigé dealership network. They are just 15 miles north of Salt Lake, that's great for me I'm only 5 minutes away. Maybe not so great, I usually stop by there too many times a summer already according to my wife. To many visits may cost me a new boat, maybe next year. Way to go FRED's

I had heard that he was planning his Lake Powell reunion for the first weekend in September (Labor day).

Thanks for the heads up OWN. Next time I am up that way I will have to stop in. I have the same problem mostly at Marine Products though.
