Anyone take the Factory Tour lately?

[Guma]

I am heading out to Dallas on Monday of next week. Tige has offered to fly me from Dallas to Abilene and back to Dallas. I am hoping this works out, but wanted to hear from anyone that has taken the tour lately and what they thought about it.

Man, I wouldn't pass up the offer. I've heard it's an awesome facility, but never seen it for my self You'd think with all the campaigning I do for Tige, they would have brought me down

I HATE YOU!!!!! j/k Wish I could go visit it.

I have been to their old facility, cant imagine the new one. Do what ever you can to see how they build their boats, it is a wonderful experience. It will answer all of your questions on boat construction and why/how Tige builds such a tough boat. Bring a camera!

how'd you get so lucky? did you order a new boat or what? sounds great though. someday I've gotta see the factory where the best boats in the world come from too!!! hint, hint, Charlie, Ben, anyone listening? its only a roundtrip ticket from Cali. PM me

[Guma]

Definitely not going to let this pass me up. Just got off the phone with the rep, too excited to even remember his name. I get into Dallas at 11:20, he is trying to find a flight to Abilene around noon, spend a few hours in the factory and then head back to Dallas on the 5:10 flight. He is checking now on the tickets.

How I got so lucky, I have no freaking clue! I have not ordered a boat yet, but have Tony at FIC working up a quote on a 2010 22Ve for me. I can tell you now though, with this kind of shmoozing, they are sure to get my money for a new boat! That is on top of the fact that I absolutely love the Tige boats.

I have tried to get to the factory during business trips to San Antonio and Houston but I can never make it work Since Abilene is in the middle of no where. Some day!

that would be sweet, I'll put it on my life goal list

It sure is in the middle of no where lol! Im a little over 2 hours west of them. Sure sucks having to plan on when I can put my baby on the water! Hour and a half minimum to a halfway decent lake

Just got everything finalized with Mark. Fly out of Dallas at 1pm and into Abilene at 1:45 and back out to Dallas at 5:45. Roughly 3 1/2 hours of hanging out at the Tige factory next week.

Tony is the person who will be taking me around on the tour, and I can not wait to get out there and see this place!

If either of you guys see this post, YOU FREAKIN ROCK!

Gumma,

I have just emailed you over your itinerary and look forward to you visiting the factory. While I wish I could be there, you are in great hands with Tony and if there is any questions you have in the meantime, please let me know. Have a great time!

Thanks,

Mark

GUMA,
GO! You won't regret the time spent! I have been to the factory twice. It is a very impressive experience and Tony will certainly take good care of you. You will walk away with a new found appreciation for Tige Boats once you witness the manufacturing process and meet the incredible people that make it all happen. Wish I was going with you! Enjoy!
