Tulsa Boat Show SUCKS!!
We went to the Tulsa boat show last night. There were about 4000 bass boats, a fair amount of large cruisers, a fair amount of runabouts, and 2 Baja Outlaws. One a 25 and the other a 35. I go every year and it is the same thing. I don't know why I continue to go to a boat show that has no boats I'm interested in. Never again!
Now, for all you E-Dockers out there, is the Grand Lake boat show any better? |

Re: Tulsa Boat Show SUCKS!!
I agree. I am going more this year not to look at performance boats but wakeboard boats to drag the kids around.

Re: Tulsa Boat Show SUCKS!!
Try the OP boat show in KC next year if you don't mind the drive. Could be better IMO but ok. Donzi, the new 40' Baja with others in there line up, Fountain, Envison, tons of Formula's and a few others. I though more would show, but I'm a newby what do I know......

If you're looking for a wake board boat, there are a lot of those around. There are a couple of Formulas, but nothing from what I would consider their performance line. They are more cruiser/runabout type boats. If you want a bass boat, well you are in heaven! The only thing is that every dealer has the same stuff. There were more tracker boats than anything else. There must be 5 tracker displays with the bass boats and their Tahoe runabouts. Of course there are the PWC dealers with all the new boring 4-stroke engine skis. I saw one Kawasaki stand-up. It does surprise me the number of HUGE cruisers though. You'd almost think that it was one of the biggest market segments of Tulsa. It may be, but I find that hard to believe. We would have liked to go the the OP show, but no time this year. I used to go to it every year when I lived there. It was always the best show around there. |

I think they out number every other style of boat on Grand. I think most of them are located in Duck Creek. :D |
Re: Tulsa Boat Show SUCKS!!
I went to the show last night and the only enjoyable past was the Bud Light! Oh and also the Motorcoaches weren't bad.

Re: Tulsa Boat Show SUCKS!!
The motor home were nice. I talked to mac from grand lake boat sales and he said that he was not carrying eliminator or fountain any more. I guess the only go fast boats that are sold in oklahoma are bajas. :eek:

Re: Tulsa Boat Show SUCKS!!
Go to the DALLAS boat show. Starts friday 2/3.

Re: Tulsa Boat Show SUCKS!!
Funny thing while, visiting "the other site" during the downtime... They said the Tulsa Show is one of the best.. hmm.
Here's a better idea. Save your show money and visit Nor-Tech. We have a boat show every day and I'll buy the beer*. Think of the savings! * Some restrictions apply. :drink: |

You have to figure that go-fasts are a big of a seller during a show. I'd be willing to bet that most people there are not non-boaters looking to become boaters, so bow riders and bass boats probably sell good during and after the show. However....It's a good reason to get together with your boating buds during the winter and have a few drinks. :drink: |
