    Well, the cat's out of the bag on the Max. Should have released on here first anyway to the loyal followers. I bet it will be an excellent surf boat.

    Kane,

    We totally planned to release it on our site, first. But all plans don't always go the way you want. ha. I soon will ban dealers from having phones at the Product info meeting.

    with all the live feeds now, would think that a reveal at the dealers meeting would fix all this?
    with the thirst for knowlege and all the social media/electronic platforms out there, embrace them.

    Im with aqua that it's a tad silly. anyone shopping for moomba or supra in the last week has now stopped pending a new product. has to be frustrating for dealers telling them I have this great new boat that will fit your needs but come back next week

    Agreed. Especially if you are going to release new models mid-summer.
    I would think building as much hype and pre-production demand as possible makes more sense.
    The tease of an upcoming new model, with all the right looks and features, might keep a new buyer from shopping the competition.
    Demand must be created for a luxury item. Nobody NEEDS a new boat.
    I kinda doubt all of the cloak and dagger stuff adds zeros to the correct column on the balance sheet.
    Just my .02 cents, but what do I know.

    The biggest reason they wait to release new boat info is to give the dealers a chance to sell current year stock. You also have to think that what many consider the Big 3, being Skiers Choice, Malibu and Mastercraft are all built right down the street from each other, so secrecy about new models is always at a premium.

    Correct Craft isn't part of the Big 3?

    I'm fairly certain you missed my point....when you have 3 big time boat companies in the same area, business is done a little different....but yes, in and around Knoxville, you'll see 5 of all the other boats to every 1 Nautique, Ski Supreme, Centurion, MB or anything else out there. Not at all saying those aren't good boats or anything...maybe RickT will chime in with a better explanation.

    ^ I think he was referring to the Supra SL550 as it looked like it had temporary TN registration numbers.

    That antenna on top of the tower needs an explanation to go along with the pic!
