MC sales tactics

I disagree:

The old Malibu dealer here in Hendersonville, posted Malibu's corporate "bash" (competetive) matrix on his website. It ripped every boat company. This was coming straight from Malibu, but I guarantee that was meant for Dealer's Eyes only, and not general public.

I downloaded it on my old system, but the HDD crashed. Ohhhh, I wish I still had it.

Here you go brotha.Malibu Bashing

I dont know if I would consider this bashing assuming the figures are correct. All they do is compare volume and standard features. What company doesn't do this?

The one I'm talking about is when Sherman was the owner. It was waaaay worse

In my business we compare based on market share growth. Net is if your share grows the competitors shrinks. So Malibu is relatively flat ... wish they had full 05-07 data, Supra is growing the most % wise, Tige second in % growth and it all appears to be at the expense of MC.

Snap-in carpet would be the cat's meow!

I have a Sea Pro that has a self bailing cockpit area. Talk about easy to clean! I even have a washdown hose attached to my live well pump (not that I need a livewell pump in my Tige, but you know what I'm getting at).

God do I feel like I'm on WakeWorld.......................*sigh*

the whole Ford vs Chevy......


Who cares, you got a Tige, do you love it?

If the answer is yes then Fu@k em'.......really who cares who's bashing who?

Frankly I buy the dealer/service, not the boat. If Stayton Motor Sports decided to sell Malibu's over Tige's tomorrow then my next boat would most likely be a Bu'. Cause I buy service, all the boats are good and do exactly what I want them to do, but the same cannot be said for the service.

So true]...with snap on carpet you can take it or leave it

When I went to our outdoors show and fair here in Bakersfield the new MC dealer in town was there and he told me that he used to work at the TIGE dealer in Atascdero. He had nothing bad to say about TIGE at all. He felt they were a good boat. He switched to Master Craft because his pay check was higher when he sold a Master Craft over a TIGE. and if you live on the coast in CA. For some reason that pay check is real important as the cost of living over there is out of sight.

Ok, that one straddles the fence. Much of what they said is subjective. They are stretching a bit with some of that info. Depending on how it's presented it could go either way.

I agree. That's definately an internal doc, not meant for consumer eyes.
