    Tulsa Boat Show

    How good is the Tulsa Boat show. I live in Kansas City and the Kansas City boat show has declined year after year. I would like to look at Triton boats, however there is not a Triton dealer around Kansas City and I do not recall seeing Tritons at the Kansas City boat show.

    It will be ok nichols marine will be there with Triton, Ranger, & Vexus for their bass boats,
    skeeter, and nitro should be there maybe pheonicx . I wouldn't drive to Kansas City to see them but I already have my triton.

    It may just be me, but it seems to be more and more RV’s every year and less boats. Like said above Nichols will be there, and they are a good place to deal with and a good selection.

    We go every year. It’s a pretty decent show but we like looking at campers too. It’s defintely something to do on a cold winter day.

    When did Nichols start selling Vexus boats?

    In the last few months they have 2-3 setting on the floor. Very interesting lay outs

    Crazy ain’t it. I think my draw dropped when I walked in and saw the vexus under the same roof of a ranger and a triton.

    I know Keith Dafron was very close with the guys from Nichols so it's not surprising. But I was told that the dealers get a bonus at the end of the year for being exclusive to White River group boats so they must feel like they can sell enough Vexus boats to overcome that bonus.

    The boat show was the busiest I've seen in many years, all I can say is pontoon boats must be the big seller ,they were everywhere.
    all colors and sizes . I know they are short 1 outdoor kitchen and bar that my wife just had to have, she stood inside a class c motor home for a while and I knew it was time to get the heck out of there.

    I know Nichols sold at least three pontoons over $100,000 apiece
