Here is our booth from the show. The X-2 spins 360 degrees and the whole thing was built by our head mechanic.

I wish I would have gone to the one in Fargo, but I had to work, and they were charging the hell out of everybody: $7+ parking. Shocked

LFPIMP, got in for cheap, so we went to the Fargo one. Not too exciting, mostly fishing boats. Discovered that we now have a "local" Tige dealer in addition to CC, MC, Moomba and Centurion, but other than that it was exactly like last year.

Who's the new Tige dealer in ND?

The Mpls show is usually the best around the area for tow boats, we used to do some of the sportsman shows but there are only so many million gallon bass tanks you can compete with.

Corey, where are you located in shakopee?? are you midwest watersports? thats all I can think of that sell mastercraft

snowboardcorey, Alex Dock/Lift and Marine in Garfield, MN. For me, when it comes to boat dealerships, local is anything within about 100 miles. Especially since where I use my boat in the summer is about 45 miles into MN anyway. Hence the "local" in quotes.

Mitchell, were in Crystal now. We needed more space so moved a little north, the old Midwest MasterCraft shop on Excelsior Blvd. was just to small, that and the constant road construction was the deal killer.

jjaszkow, do you ride near Fergus Falls? We used to get up there a bunch but it's been a couple years now.

snowboardcorey, jjaszkow and I ride on the same lake about 30 miles from Detroit Lakes. Pelican Lake.

jjaszkow, Who handles Moombas? McLaughlin's? Who handles CC? Also what was that wake shop that opened up recently in MN, was it in Glyndon or something?

Dang. Mastercraft got it together this year. I'm liking the looks of all those boats.

WakeboardDrumma, I agree with you on that. I really haven't liked the tribal etc graphics that they had on the past few years boats.

LFPIMP, yes ... McLaughlin's handles Moombas and Mastercraft. Wakewater sports in Glyndon handles CC. Mark Hensley over at wakewater is a standup guy ... next boat will likely come from him. I am guessing that's the shop you are thinking of.

snowboardcorey, mostly on Pelican Lake like LFPIMP said (it's not the one by Orr, MN). It's not too far away from Fergus Falls (~20 miles).
We generally make a trip or two a summer down to Minnewaska too.

jjaszkow, thanks, I have to make over there and see what they have. The Scheels selections just isnt cutting it.

If I can find time to get away for the weekend I'll head up your direction. We used to go up for a week at a time and I miss it, I don't so much miss losing trivia at Mables but I miss the riding a lot!
