Anyone know Ryan @ Skier's Wharf in MO

[xpjim1]

No link. It was in the boat trader magazine. Did not see it on Boat trader online. I will scan it tonight. The picture almost looked like a 20V and not a 22 V

Called my son. caught him just before he left for work. made him search for the ad in the Boat Trader, Not really sure what the boat is because the ad says 05 Tige 21V with 22 hours.

I'm kind of shocked that you two guys had trouble w/ Skiers Wharf... especially the Osage Beach store. Those guys have been great. I recently had my 24V in for some minor issues. Some of the things were reported to Tige during warranty Tige drug their feet... NOT THE DEALER.... I know b/c I spoke w/ Tige directly on those. They were now out of warranty and Skiers Wharf took it upon themselves to repair them out of their pocket. They even offered to pick up my boat or bring it back to me in OK if I couldn't make it there. That's service!

Any call to Joe or any of the sales staff up there or the Rogers store and they have been prompt to check into things and get back to ASAP with a call. I guess there's always two sides to every story. If it had been the Rogers store in the past, I could have seen some issues. But that personel has been removed and things are MUCHHHH better now.

Hope things work out for you Spharis.

To both of the guys that had good service at Skier's Wharf...that is encouraging that things are better. We dealt with them over 3 years ago on these issues, so maybe things have changed, and yes Jake was our major problem.

Well the boat was in Omaha, Nebraska before it made its way to MO. I found the previous listing on boattraderonline and the dockrash on the rear is the same. The original owners were only asking $28100 before they traded it in. Apparently they also paid to have the graphics and tower added before the trade. I don't know if there was some overlap. I might try to call the original owners to get some more information. For price comparison, I found 3 2003 22Vs in the same or better condition with the same or better options for less. I might look into those unless SWE comes down on the price.

Original ad with the private party:

2003 Tige 22v Riders, TIGE 22V WITH TRAILER NAVY MAIN PANEL PLATINUM INTERIOR.THIS TIGE 22V HAS 426 HOURS,I ADDED NEW RIDERS GRAPHICS AND A MONSTER TOWER.

Grrr......dang scammers.....The above may or may not be the original for sale ad. Guess I will call the number tomorrow. It is registered in Omaha. Could you imagine $8100.

Hi,
I'm glad that you're interested in my boat and the price is 8100 ...I am selling it because my wife is pregnant and we need to buy a new house.The boat is in good condition, has no damages , no scratches or dents,no hidden defects. The boat has been looked after very well - washed and cleaned every two weeks.It has a clear title signed and all you have to do is to put your name on it. I like to mentione that I work in the US Army and i don't have time to sell my boat...so I would like to use a shipping company.They can deliver the boat to your shipping address and I will agree to let you test it and inspect it for a few days just to be sure.As I have told you I am going to use a shipping company for delivering it and I will pay the shipping and insurance fees. I want to use this company because I have a very busy schedule and travel allot so there is no time. It should take about 3-4 days for you to get the boat.The boat is already in their possesion and they are only waiting for my instructions to begin shipment.
They offer third party services. This way both of us will have the required assurance that the deal will take place well. I understand that dealing through a third party company means a neutral company that verifies if the vehicle corresponds to what me and you agreed and release the funds to me only after you will receive, test and confirm that you want to keep the boat. They allow 5 days for inspection in which time you have to decide if you want to buy the boat or not.
Let me know if you are interested
Thank you!

I got something similar to that when someone on craigslist wanted to purchase my boat. You got to love them and wait for the spam to increase now.

haha, I got the same thing the other day when I inquired about a BMW that was way underpriced. Do people fall for this crap?

Good luck on your search Spharis!!!
