XPJIM if you are looking for someone to Cruz around with I will meet up with you on Wednesday. I have to get to the show and look around. I can pay $5.00 to get in that is a great price. PM and let me know or just give me a call.

Sorry guys-no pictures but I did spend way more time at the boat show yesterday than I planned. Very few people were there. I was there from 1:30 to 6 pm

Good news is I got a new spectra wakeboard rope and handle for $50. Almost ordered a new one from bullet lines the night before and glad i held off. Sorry Ken. Also bought a new surf rope as the little surfers want a small handle instead of the big knotted rope. $20.
All my toys insurances are up in March so I got new quotes on the boat, Havasu house, seadoo and Rhino. Going to save some money on everything but the house. They could not come close to my current homeowners insurance.

Also renewed my vessel Assist for a savings of 10% over my recently recieved renewal bill.

The number of non boat vendors was down. Still some good deals on boards, ropes and accesories.

Number of boat vendors seemed about the same. Seven Crown houseboats did not have a houseboat this year, just a booth. Laketime ussually has a houseboat and they were not there at all. For having no people there most of the sales people just ignored me and other people as I was looking. This was especially true on the performance boats. Was kind of impressed with the Sanger Picklefork. Malibu guys last year were all talkative , this year nothing. I do not like the Axis in person or the photos. Nautigue guys just stood in the corner. Spoke to Tom from Tige for awhile. Daniel is no longer with them. Most impressed with the Mastercraft guys. They greeted everyone who came in there area. Talked to them for quite a while.. Got to see the X35 which was nice. Boat was next to x45. Seems like if you look at both the X45 sells itself if you have the $92000 boat show price.

Overall a good day for me as I feel I got something accomplished in all my free time. Might go back saturday to finish up the insurance stuff. I got free tickets and will shoot pictures then.

Which Daniel are you talking about?

Which Daniel are you talking about?

Daniel the saleman there for about 10 years. He was the one who used to post on here at times, most notable with the Wake Havasu issues

^^^ Thanks, I thought you were referring to someone that worked/sponsored by Tige. Sad to see him gone. But, did he take the day off or did he find another job?

He has been gone for a few months now. He was the best sales guy they had IMO. Coach was all bummed when he found out because Daniel always took care of him.
