Pictures from Ankona Event at Flint Creek Outfitters

We had great attendance on Saturday! We ended up with 3 SUV 17's and 1 ShadowCast 18. Yellowfin brought a beautiful 17 skiff out and Shipoke had a small skiff in the "General Lee" color scheme.

Ankona had a prototype ShadowCast 18 with a fully molded floor pan to complement the new deck cap.  Also on display was a deck hatch insert, all molded glass to give a real alternative to plastic deck hatches.  All the deck options with quality hatches.  Looking for customer feedback on this one!  Enjoy the pics!

Ankona, Yellowfin and Shipoke were in attendance....

Got news for you....my name came around long before the skiff did...and the Shipoke was a cool little skiff.....and the General Lee theme on it was great.  However, my focus was getting pics of the new SC 18 and talking to people about the Ankona boats that were there....I didn't get any pics of the Shipoke....maybe someone else or the rep that was there will post some pics of it.

 

As a sales rep for Ankona...what would you expect? Do you think Kevin Fenn would splash pics of Ankonas on a forum when ECC is represented at an event? Would Chris Peterson post pics of anything other than HB from an event that had multiple skiff companies in attendance? C'mon man!

I love how people make remarks about how this is an "Ankona site".....it's microskiff.com! If Ankona has a large following and popularity on here....maybe there is a reason.....because I doubt it's peer pressure! 

 

First, I was an Ankona owner before a salesperson. Second, EVERY post I make does not mention Ankona.Do most of them? Yes....because I believe in the product....just like anyone who owns a product they believe in. Post some pics of Hell's Bay or ECC's skiffs on here and I will be front and center saying how great they look or how well they perform. You obviously do not read my posts very well because if you did, you would see that my posts are delivered with "the pretext of helpfulness". I really don't care if someone buys an Ankona or not after I comment on a question or post. I do think if they do, they are getting a great skiff that is priced right. If I get to help them during that process, great. If not, that's fine, too. I hardly fo it for a living (full time school teacher)...but i believe in the product and I consider Mel a friend. For you to assume that I am selling first rather than helping is really misguided...but like you said, the beauty of life in this country is being able to give your opinion....and we all know what opinions are like .

 

Hey, I love a little back and forth on a thread that was other wise dead. Clarification in context: of course I care if someone buys an Ankona. Whether my comments or posts effect the costumer's decision...that's the part I don't care about. I hope it does and I get to continue work with them further into the process. But if it doesn't, maybe my posts or comments will help answer a question for someone else.

Maybe you are right. Maybe a little disclosure is needed...

I will change my signature to "Bad Azz Mofo Ankona Rep" ;D

I did get a picture of the Yellowfin 17....is that worth something? That thing was like looking at a Bentley coupe! [smiley=1-thumbsup1.gif]
