Dealerships

[Shaz]

We have one Tigé dealer in the North of SA and I bellieve it would be a good idea to have one down in the South where I am. I do know that my Tige' is getting a lot of interest. All you see all the time is local stuff, MCraft and Nautique. What would qualify me to become a dealer? Would it be enough that I have a passion for Tige'? or Would I have to be a team rider for my country? or If I had a dealership selling all other makes of boats and had a full compliment of staff to deal with all the needs of my customers, would that be enough? Would I be allowed to sell Tige' along with it's competitors? Just curious!!! Lets face it! We need more Tige' in Africa.

My questions above are not entirely rhetorical chaps!
My idea has stemmed from two Threads posted. the first by aneal000 on the subject- "? about tige and their direction" and the second was a comment by Ruune in the Thread- Dallas Winter Boat Show."sounds like an investment opportunity to me!" What I do know is that my own Dealer is 900 miles away from me and he does not qualify to the last of my sugestions above. So this is why I would like to know what it would take, for those of us that are stuck in remote places to get a dealership set up and closer for our needs. What do you do in a case where you are too far? Who services your boat? Do you lose your warranty if a dealer does not service and stamp your service book?
