I just got this sent over. Let’s just say, I didn’t see this coming! The only message from Dean-o included with the new logo read “I’m looking for feedback. Red, Blue Green or Dark Blue?”
Looks like the boys at SBC have more to offer than ever before! Congrats guys. 
PS – I vote “Blue Green.”

Cal just sent this to me. Apparently he’s on the road right now towing the first boat back from the Warrior factory which means WBC (it will take me some time to get used to typing that!) will have their first models on location later today.

James are you going to keep fishing out of skeeters or are we gonna see warriors on the show to?
Love my Crestliner Pro-Tiller but my dream glass boat has always been a Warrior. Congrats to them…RR

I’m not going anywhere. I love fishing from my Skeeter. As for Warrior in the shows Pat McSharry is a tiller guy through and through and I can’t get him to stop hyperventilating after he saw the announcement. Take deep breaths, Pat! 
If Pat gets into a Warrior I wouldn’t mind fishing out of his boat once in awhile. More than anything I’m just excited for Dean, Cal, Tony and the rest of the crew out there at SBC / WBC. They run a top-notch dealership and having a new line to offer has to be a good thing.
Which is to say, they’ve accepted the truth that Yamaha isn’t coming out with a viable power-steering system any time soon to pair with Skeeter tillers…

True. I don’t think there’s anything looming on the horizon regarding high-horsepower tillers coming from Skeeter. Or if there is, I’m totally in the dark on it.
As for the Warrior models they plan to carry, Dean’s the one to answer that question. The boat behind Cal’s truck does look like a big tiller to me.

It must be a northern Minnesota thing! I love big tillers! Like James said, I’m super excited for the guys over there and hopefully getting some slime in a Warrior!

My thoughts exactly. Congrats!

I have heard nothing but great things about SBC. Being a long time Warrior guy, I am glad to see a top notch dealer get this line. Glad to see Warrior coming back strong, and this move will do nothing but help!!
Any chance this will keep Warrior concentrating on the tillers and let Skeeter handle the wheel boats?
Can you get the new Yamaha 250 V-Max SHO in a tiller and hang it on the back of a warrior 2090 BT? That would be quite awesome!

We have most every model on order! Please bear with us as we are still getting information, pricing and many of the details compiled. We are excited to add options to our SBC dealership !
Like I told Dean during last winters open house, it’s time to create a “ABC” dealership

Does that also mean you will now be a dealer for Merc or will motors need to be ordered on new boats only?

Now who needs to go that fast? 
Congrats on the new line up!

I asked Dean this same question yesterday and he said he doesn’t have any plans to add any additional motor options as a dealer.
This is a fantastic decision by SBC!
More options is a good thing.
I’ll admit I didn’t see another fiberglass brand coming before aluminum but they got the best (Warrior) they could have gotten.
OK, I guess I’ll be the guy to ask the questions………….
1) How will Lynn answer the phones?
2) Will Gus need Warrior training or will he strictly be a Skeeter dog?
3) Will the different brands be type sensitive when it comes to cookies? Do we bring Chocolate Chip for Skeeter and Peanut Butter for Warrior?
I see lots of things to work out on this marriage.

While we do service every brand and have the upmost respect for them, we will primarily focus on Reliability !
Congrats to SBC/WBC!! As to the cookie delemma. I know a certain person that will take a pizza from a certain SW Wis establishment anytime! 
Won’t mention anyone by name DM. 
Sorry to say, I’ve never been in Dean’s new store and am wondering if this is the old Pro Power Sports location? If so, there were Skeeters and Warriors there back in ’04. The more things change, the more they stay the same??? jerr

WE are further west up Hwy 10 from the old Pro Power Sports location. Once you hit the weigh station we are right there on the north side of hwy 10. Dean likes visitors……stop up to visit
Dang, that’s a long ways to deliver chocolate chip cookies. Then, he’d probably want to sell me a new Warrior too. Sorry Dean, still trying to wear out the old one jerr

Yeah Jerr, tough to wear that boat out, but don’t you remember how we used to solve all the worlds problems in the bait shop over a “fresh baked” ? :]
What steering system is used to allow a Yamaha on there for the big tillers?
Warrior has their own Pro Tiller 2 Remote Hydraulic Steering System.
