Came and Went (Come and Gone??)

Wednesday, September 26th, 2007

Hi Folks- yes, hard to believe we’re into fall now- seems like yesterday we were moving boats out of storage and readying for a busy summer.  And busy it was!  Towjamerz had a total of (lucky) 13 craft for fractional use this year, including 3 fine new SeaDoo GTX Wake Edition PWCs.  Although we had some usual, and a few unusual tribulations, our summer was busy, successful, and a joy for seemingly all involved. The fleet had several new faces this season, welcoming a Mastercraft X-Star, X-2, X-7, X-1 and X-10 to the team, as well as a new 2008 Crownline 19SS.  Reviews of the new additions were warm, and as a result, bookings were the strongest we’ve seen to date.  We were thoroughly happy with the performance and dependability of these watercraft, so they’ll be spending some additional time with us.

Timeshare continues to be popular, with 5 new timeshare customers signed up for this summer.  These folks love the boats for fractional use, appreciate the unsurpassed service, and understand the benefits of no breakdown or maintenance hassles- not to mention the tremendous cost savings!  Give us a call if you think timeshare may be right for you.

Our gear sales continue to grow, and this year was no exception.  With offerings from HO/Hyperlite, Liquid Force, Connelly/CWB, 13th Floor Wakeboard Towers, and Wet Sounds, we had something for everyone.  Although we’re a little tight on inventory presently, we’re got closeout pricing on remaining 2007 gear we’re sure you’ll find worthwhile.  There’s 20% off remaining wakeboards and waterskis, 15% off select tubes from HO (including the Ion and Molecule), 15% off in-stock Clarion audio, and 10% off remaining 13th Floor Wakeboard towers and accessories.  Recognizing that our regular prices are comparable to somebody else’s “Sale”, these products are offered at real discounts.  We’ve got a Super Special on in stock Wet Sounds product, the most technically advanced tower specific speaker on the market today- but you’ll need to call for pricing (it’s that exclusive)!!

It’s now officially fall, and with fall comes fleet turnover time: the time we decide what to buy for next year, and therefore which boats to move along to new owners.  The size of our fleet will remain unchanged next spring, and two new additions will be arriving- which means two of our boats will be moving to a new webpage: ‘Used Boats for Sale’.  The Malibu Sportster, a 2002 model, is offered for sale at under 20K.  This 20 foot “Pocket Rocket” was the most popular boat in the fleet, year in and out.  It’s economy, performance, and dependability will appeal to those of you interested in your first boat, or if you’re looking to upgrade to a tournament style towboat.  It’s been well used, and well cared for, with no scratches or tears.  The Malibu Wakesetter VLX, a 2001 model, is a wakeboarder’s dream, whether novice or a seasoned pro.  This craft offers the perfect combination of throw-down wakes, interior style and comfort, and rough water capability- and unlike many new V-Drives, it has a ski wake worthy of a ski boat!  The exterior is flawless on this boat, and the interior nearly so.  Offered this fall around 30K, it will not last.  Both boats come equipped with TowJammerZ used boat warranty, for worry-free ownership.

As we’ve grown (literally and figuratively), we’ve seen a trend towards earlier bookings.  This season especially, we’ve already booked a sizable number of time slots for next summer.  If you have a lengthy block of time for which you need a boat, or have a specific boat in mind, don’t leave it to chance, and book before spring!  We’ll have 2008 pricing on the website shortly, along with finalized new boat additions.

Friends, thanks for your support this year- we literally wouldn’t be here without you.  If there’s anything we can do to help maximize your boating experience, don’t hesitate to call- we’re up for it.  Have a great fall, there’s still time for skiing, and glassy water awaits.  Will chat again before the new year!
