Houston Boat Show
I'm headed to the Houston Boat Show today. I probably won't take a ton of pics and I'll only be using my iPhone but I'll post up a few later this evening when we get home.
Let me know if you have any requests. |
I was there toda, first time for the Houston Show. Lot of good looking boats but was really dissapointed in the lack of wakeboard gear and stuff. One place had aFEW thing i was hoping to spend some money looks like they lost out. Oh well, i usually go to the Dallas show but like i said it was a good show hope you enjoyed it too...hey your not a short little asian guy are you...lol..i bet i saw this guy take over 300 pics..lol
|
I request those pics you didn't upload last night :p
|
TJ sounds like a short little Asian guy to me? LOL
|
Yes. That was me.
|
Thanks TJ , Great pics!!!:D
|
That last Tige Z3 pic didn't show up.

The boat show pricing on a 20 MXZ is 88K? WOW!

Boy they are giving those away!! For that price might as well take both!! The G25 is cheaper?
Hard to see the MSRP...WOW 145K and 167K!! |

Gross pricing....
How was the sa450 and z1 priced just out of curiosity |
And the X-Star was cheaper than both at $114,500 with a $130k retail price. I'm guessing someone at Dockside still sleeps in The Hulk pajamas. Green was definitely a favorite color of theirs.

You wouldn't be able to do a long bag there without relocating the battery. http://i295.photobucket.com/albums/m...3B45DEF6A1.jpg |

Hmmm not terrible on the z1 but if the SA is In that ball park that will be the boat to have IMO
|
The X10 looked pretty good. I think it was $78k but I could be wrong.

Thanks for going and taking so many pics and giving so much info about the boat show. I love boat shows!
Did the Centruion Dealer there not show up :( |
New favorite thread. That x stars is handsome... I don't think I could take the green for the long haul but it is sexy
That tower on the x10 looks way cheap way way cheap.... |

A couple other MC's.
http://i295.photobucket.com/albums/m...3B2F7634D5.jpg http://i295.photobucket.com/albums/m...3B34646002.jpg I really love the MC interiors. The speaker locations look really cool. Of get tired of telling people to move cause they are blocking the speaker. Several of the MC's had the radio visible and not hidden at the observer's helm. Why? http://i295.photobucket.com/albums/m...3A29543D43.jpg |
I was going to go this weekend myself.. got caught up with other things that needed to get done. Maybe for the final weekend.
|
MC should powdercoat the towers. Would look much better then the plain aluminum IMO.
|
Nice pics, too bad prices are so high! I don't think I'll ever be able to upgrade! Guess I gotta roll with my 2004 Avalanche! Better start playin the Lotto, or rob a bank ......
|
Nice pics! FYI - your pics of the prices say "Prices as shown" but then say that you "own this model for as low as" meaning that with no options you could get it for that price...
|
The gray/green Supra SA350 sold for 81 I believe. Not sure on the Worlds. Z1 all the way. That boat really impressed me.
|
Don't mess your pants, kid... or MC will own daddy's house!

I think my 5yr old programmed his rider preset into the majority of the boats with touch screens. |

MC needs more boats to pick from.
thanks for the picks TJ. |

On a related note, I posted the pic of my son in the X-Star on Facebook and a friend commented saying that her husband's boss ordered a new X-Star. It came in, he took delivery of it, put it in the water (didn't say for how long) and according to her, he '...brought it right back. He made them give him his old boat back. It made a horrible wake supposedly.' |
Did Supra offer any surf technology for 2013?

i cant believe how crazy pricing is getting.

My main issue with the entire tige line up is they put the cup holders on the floor. I don't want to lean over to the ground to pick up my beer

Yes. There are 4 cup holders in the floor of my Tige. My kids generally use these for their drinks or toys. http://i295.photobucket.com/albums/m...8/be1bde37.jpg The other 16 (SIXTEEN!) are not on the floor. |
wish the show came through AZ like it used to!
|
I have 5 cup holders in the floor of my Tige.I only have 15 that aren't on the floor. TJ is it a whole lot better with 16? Do you think you could manage with one less?I wonder sometimes,should i have held out for a 16th cup holder?
|
of course you should have held out RT. 15 isn't enough!!!! And 5 on the floor!!!! that would never work for me:banghead::banghead::D
|
I can't understand the black vinyl in that Supra. That will be a blast in the summer sun. Keep lots of towels and some neosporin around for the occasional burn.
Thanks for all the pics! I love seeing the stickers as well. 115K for a stripped down version of the G23, Yikes. |
How is the Base G25 almost $2K less than the G23?
|
Probably priced without a trailer.
|
Any truth to the rumor that a G23 at Houston show had an electrical problem and the dash, caught fire, that the dash had t be ripped out to rip it out, and the fire marshal had the boat roped off.
|
Maybe it was the G25 that caught fire, thus the reason for the price being lower than the G23.
|
The carpet in the green supra sa350 looks pretty sick!
I'll take any Tige' any day of the week. Love the new stuff. *** I saw the G23 at the AWS open house and words do not explain the amazing-ness!!!! I just... I ahhhhhh.... It..... Um yeah. It's that good. |

G23 caught fire? You know my cousins, sisters, neighbors, friends, dads, boss's, kid who can only boost 9 foot airs behind nautiqus said they are having an issue with that. It's caused by some thing to do with the drive shaft!!! LOL

Sounds like its time for a new Tige, Robert... 'The new Tige's have really come a long way.' |

I've never really crawled in and around one, all the pictures I have seen the only visible cup holders I see are on the floor so of there are other places around the boat in more accessible locations then that is awesome. I would love to have an RZ2 for a next boat, hell I even visited the Tige factory in November on my way to Lubbock. I would love to buy a Texas made boat one day

The Rz2 has 16. You can put beverages everywhere. The floor ones end up for the girls hair stuff, sunblock, watches, etc. The ones in the side panels are much handier for beer...I mean soda!
|
The 6 cup holders on the floor show their value reeeeeeeaaaaal quick when you have a boat load and can't get into to the side pockets without out making people move...
|
My 23 LSV only has 10 in the back, 4 in the front, 4 in the table, and I think it has 2 by driver's feet (if memory serves me correctly)- for a grand total of 20 cup holders :p
|
They need to give the correct craft engineers something other than a straight ruler. The interiors are too angular IMO. They make great boats but should hire some Italian designers.
The Tige's are really looking good. As are the Supras and BU's. MC interiors are awesome as mentioned. Not a fan of the new top deck "sway" or the hull graphics. May look better in person. Love seeing all the pictures. Thanks for posting. The show will be in Seattle soon. Hope it's half as good as Houston. |
Mastercraft has the fugliest towers of any boat on the market right now, hand down....

that G25 with the grey seadeck looks so much better than the brown sea deck. cant wait for the L.A. boat show to go check out these boats. It seems all the manufacturers have stepped it up big time... just wish the prices weren't so ridiculous.
|
well the okc boat show was a joke! they had like 4 pontoons 2 air natiques 1 axis 4 malibus and 4 yamahas and like 3 seadoos. if you wanted a travel trailor it was the place to be. probably a 100 of those.
|
I think the alpha z tower is the best looking tower out!! .02

No idea why an X-Star at the Toronto show is cheaper than Dallas...our local dealer had it posted starting from $107k
