Sounds like MCs Fanfare program to me.
Whats next from CC a Salt Series boat or rotating board racks?

I'm sure they will do anything they can to sell a boat... as would any other company.

Boat companies "Borrow" much more serious and important things every day. Mastercraft has stolen more than a few ideas, and so has every other company in every other industry.

What was MC's "Fan Fair" program all about?

G" It's just a deal they throw at their factory where you can test drive boats and see how they are made.... I think they even give some heck of deals on boats... I have never been myself.

Or every other company can just pay royalties to CC for INVENTING the tower. There are more ideas stolen or borrowed from every manufacturer.

CC didn't invent the tower,they stole it from someone else.

Larson showed his designs for this “wakeboard tower” to William Snook, the
Correct Craft engineer who originally hired Larson. At Snook’s urging, Larson then
presented his idea to management, which approved and directed a prototype to be built.
Robert Todd’s fabrication company delivered the first prototype later in 1996. Snook
was then in charge of the project to improve upon this first-generation tower, during
which Larson “had some input.”

And, "how" the assignment documents were presented:

At issue in this case are the several patents Correct Craft eventually received for
the wakeboard tower. In 1997, Snook told Larson that Correct Craft was going to seek
patent protection. Larson detailed the inception of his tower idea in writing, and he
spoke with Correct Craft’s attorneys about what would be needed for the patenting
process. The attorneys also presented Larson with patent assignments that they
described as formalities and part of the necessary application paperwork. With these
assignments, which he executed between 1998 and 2001, Larson transferred all of his
interest in the wakeboard-tower invention to Correct Craft. In declarations filed with the
Patent and Trademark Office, Larson also attested that he was a co-inventor of the
wakeboard tower together with Snook and Todd. Larson received no compensation.

Worst attempt at starting a petty and useless boat war ever!!!

Extra points off for not being an anonymous one post wonder.

I just think its funny how when MC does something they get bashed for it (ie; picklefork wakeboat) then all of the sudden everyone else is doing it.
This was meant to be light hearted not a "War" as stated. Thats why I put one of these

at the end.
Anybody that knows me, knows that I am a big fan of CC as well as MC. I'm just not too sold on the new owners and some of the things they have done to the company. I applaud their effort to sell boats. The more people getting out and looking at boats is a right step in the direction of fixing our economy.
Heck maybe I'll mosey down to the factory and get me a deal on one of them there CCs. I have owned a few in the past.

I think someone should come up with a "Cash For Sinkers" program.

Maybe they'll copy MC floppy/shaky tower design as well.

When you see a good idea, run with it! It's the American way.

To me the picklefork was done before. It's just a modified tri-hull...typically found on 16 to 18 foot boats with pea green or orange hulls and a 70hp Force engine.

I call my friends X45 Saltwater series the Big Dipper. Great for taking on large amounts of chili in one dip.

I think the Vikings invented the first ship, Correct Craft later purchased the patent and added a tower
