So just got a super nice ride in down in Texas with Tony at the factory we will be heading back home the next few days I'll post pictures of stuff when we get back. The factory is super nice and I recommend everybody tries to get down and take a tour and meet the people down there. Jean is super great to work with and helped set everything up for us. Abilene is a super great place to check out! Definitely a great trip feel free to ask questions about be factory and I'll answer them! We are currently driving so this is off my phone I'll check periodically! So stand by for a more detailed write up!

Yes we did! Sharp looking boat was just about to go to lake testing I think or final prep. We were going to stay in Oklahoma City but just decided to stop eat and see a friend and keep on driving so it's currently 3:05am and about 3.5 hours left so I'll post a detailed report with pictures and stuff tomorrow!Originally posted by b/w05 View PostComment

Alright so we started out Saturday morning early and drove down to Abilene and just bummed around town and hung out on Sunday. Monday morning we headed over to the factory super nice place and super great people. We started with a tour of the facilities and saw the process of the boats being made tour was given by Tony great guy. During the tour we saw many very great looking color combinations that got my mind wandering for maybe a 13 super sick boats being produced props to you guys for ordering them! Tige builds about 4 boats a day I believe and can build a boat from start to finish in 12 days. After everything is built in the boat every boat gets taken to the lake and lake tested for an hour no mater the weather super cool and makes sure things are up to par! After touring the factory Tony decided we should head out to the lake it was beautiful out! mid 70's and sunny bit windy but not terrible we hooked up to one of the Rz2's that they had there and went out and loaded it down thing threw a big wake learned some things I want to try on my 2012. I spoke with Tony about what maybe to come and lets just say some great things could be possible in the feature (but really what needs changing now? great boats.) The production of these boats fit and finish is bar none love the time they took to get us down to Abilene and to get to the factory then to take us to the lake was great! I will get pictures hopefully posted later this week as I left my camera in a buddies backpack and he lives a little ways away from me.
Thanks Tony and Jean for the hospitality and Jean with the hotel!
Major recommendation to make the trip to the factory won't be disappointed.Comment
