E-Ticket Performance Boats

While is been a long winter already we are thinking of the great Spring and Summer days that are only a blink away. For those of you living in colder places it may seem a bit further out, trust me warmer days are coming!

While the marine industry continues to struggle with challenges in lending and wary buyers there has been another side to it all. That is the smart buyer that knows there are some great deals to be had. We have discounted all boats and new builds to entice bargain savvy buyers to get the boat they want and save money in doing so. We have been able to remain profitable in these tough times by watching our costs and continuing to offer quality boats.

I have two Luxury Cats in stock. These are brand new boats that have some fantastic pricing and major, major discounts. Take a look in the showroom and see for yourself. These are never seen before deals I'm talking 35% discounts on these show winning boats!

We have resumed work on the new 26' Luxury Cat that I had on hold for several months as business slowed over the Fall and Winter. Now more interested buyers looking to get into a new E-Ticket at an incredible price are stepping up and wanting new boats. A great sign even though the economy has not improved much I believe many that have been sitting on the sidelines waiting for change are just sick of waiting and tired of not having the boat they want. Hats off to the American spirit! As one customer recently put it “I'm tired of waiting for something to happen, today is the day lets get a new boat started” If you are interested in this amazing new offering I suggest calling me, I am offering some pretty fantastic deals on the new 26's!

Again for the fifth straight year the Luxury Cat wins Powerboat Magazines Award of  Excellence Deck Boat of the Year.  Once again if you are in the market for a new boat and have never been in one of these boats and gone for a ride, do yourself a favor and try before you buy. 
 

Home town hero George O. crushed the competition with his Luxury Cat powered by twin Ilmor 710 V-10's running over 120 MPH.  There where no challengers in sight.  A recent transplant from Wyoming the oil man and his Red Luxury Cat can be seen on Lake Havasu  about any day.  "This is part of my retirement" stated Mr. O and his co-pilot and wife "Red" is my rev-limiter.  While going fast is a big part of George's fun zone he can been seen with his kids and grand kids on the weekends pulling them on a tube and having fun.  "I made the right boat choice and I drove them all before going with E-Ticket, it was hands down the best boat I drove, my boat does it all"
 

While the reports continue to point towards slow numbers in new boat purchases in AZ and CA -49.08% and -51.78% respectively, we continue to see new customer interest.  Our sales are down from the same time last year however we have seen a surge of interest and have written a few new boat orders this month.  While the slump continues, we have seen some major manufactures in CA and AZ close their doors permanently while others are just shells waiting for better times to come. We have also seen long established vendors to the marine industry close up for good as a result of manufacturers not being able to pay their bills, and loss of revenues. Many of these vendors and manufacturers rode high during the years past selling less than quality products and were not willing or able to invest in the future.  Investing in the future has many meanings to me and one of them is the investment into the company to maintain future viability.  One of the many ways E-Ticket has done so is by taking steps to be as self supporting in all ways from manufacturing our own components for our boats to a continuous smart lean business model.  The average Luxury Cat has approx. 75 proprietary components that we manufacture exclusively for this boat, not counting the hull and deck, and having complete control over these components is a huge advantage.  I have spent the last twenty seven years in manufacturing and have managed to survive  these economic downturns through tough decisions, economic change planning, and preparing for lean times when times are good.  In this market smart buyers are looking to get quality products at fair market prices and are taking advantage of the times, knowing that once the recovery begins inflation will soon follow.  So again smart buyers are taking advantage of discounted prices and low interest rates.  Loans are not as easy to get, however if you have kept your dealings in order, strong credit customers are welcome to lenders that are eager to write solid deals on reputable quality boats.  We continue to keep a foot hold by living by the same business model since our conception:

- "Offer the best quality product and justify the price."

We have just completed a 29' Luxury Cat build with twin  725Hp Ilmor V-10s.  This boat is way up-there on the cool meter - see our Showroom Page for details.
