    Hi-Lift Marina, Oklahoma

    I know that there are at least a handful of Tige's in the Eastern Oklahoma and in Arkansas area that are in search of a good place for maintenance ect. I recently used H-Lift Marina at Grand Lake. They were extremely good. I had them "summerize", install a 3 vent Heatercraft heater, get all stainless steel cups and a bow cushion. Talked to Mike on the phone, said no problem, I asked to have my impeller changed out, but since I only had 30 hours said it was not needed. I appreciate them not taking my money. He also said that they would get to it on March the 30th, of course I did not believe them, but on March 31st at 900am they called and said the boat was ready. Very professional install of the heater, blends in incredibly well, looks factory.
    Took it out today, wind blowing at steady 20mph with gust up to 35mph, air temp 65, water temp 57. Started right up, no hiccups, heater worked very well, better than initially thought. With 2 foot waves at certain times and the occasional splash that at one time came above the wake tower, my wife and two young sons had an awesome time. Can't wait to get out next week

    The worst day of boating is still the better than the best day of work......, unless you bend your prop.

    The heater is installed very nicely in the upper starboard corner of the storage bin on the other side of the footwell. I have two hot tubes, but just one is installed for now, one tube is located at the walk through, one vent is seen in the photo on the drivers side dash just under the glass, which I might change out for a hot tube, but like the option have directing the flow of air. The third is installed below the throttle blowing directly on the driver. The switch, which I don't have a pic of yet is on the right lower hand corner of the dash, there was a big empty space in the dash that it looks like it belongs there.

    Again very good install, for everything, sans heater which I bought myself, was only 1100 dollars. Which is a heck of deal especially if you call around. Some other marinas told me for the heater alone would take 7 hours at 95 dollars an hour, 300 for dewinterization, ect.

    They are worth the drive. I will take dedicated photos for the future if anybody wants to see more.

      I'm glad you had a great experience. My boat buying experience was great too. I wish they were closer and I would love to use them. Oh well
