100 Hour/Winterization Coupon







Well, things are finally beginning to slow down here at Waterski Boats Dallas. The next few weeks are generally known as an in between period in the wakeboarding world. This is the time of year where Summer is coming to a close and fall is right around the corner…September 23rd to be exact.

Since the kids have returned to school, the lakes are much quieter than they were just a few weeks ago. Cooler temperatures and earlier sunsets hinder the ability to catch those after-work wakeboarding sets. The local major events are over, and only a few smaller events still linger down in Florida.

We usually have about two or three weeks here at the dealership where we can catch up on things and make the annual transition from one year to the next. The sales guys are closing out the remaining 2007 boats and are busy studying the 2008 models. The pro shop has a few remaining items on clearance (including brand new wakeboards in the plastic starting at $99.99!) and the service guys are finishing up their last few big projects and stocking the shelves for the upcoming winterization season.

The winterization season is coming and we typically see two types of customers. There is the customer that prepares for the winter and, once he knows that he is finished using the boat for the season, goes ahead and schedules an appointment to have his boat Winterized. Then there is the customer that waits until there is a freeze in the forecast, and then decides to bring the boat in, unannounced. We try to do all service by appointment only so our service guys know exactly what is going on and we do not get our lot over crowded with boats. Therefore, we try to award those that take the time to be prepared.

Each year, we send out a letter to our customers which has an enclosed Winterization Coupon. The coupon is good thru November 17th, 2007, and will grant you 10% off of the Winterization of your direct drive or v-drive inboard boat. (As a courtesy, you may now print out the coupon online!)

We also run a 100 Hour/Winterization Special. Most boats need their 100 Hour Service at the time of Winterization, so we offer a “receive a free Winterization with a 100 Hour Service” special. You may print out this coupon online as well, and the offer is valid thru October 31, 2007.
