Summer 2007

Tides End Marina is now stocking Gekko world class inboard tow boats from IMAR Group, manufacturer of both Sugar Sand jet boats and Gekko tow boats. As a "Dealer of the Year", see article below, Tides End Marina was chosen to carry thus exciting line of boats for the skiing and wake boarding enthusiast. Since its inception Gekko has been blessed with rave reviews. Even the most stiff-necked skeptics have been won over by Gekko’s superior handling, rail-like tracking, silky rough water ride, 50+mph top end, awesome acceleration and exceptional performance.

WaterSki Magazine gushed, “Gekko earned the highest marks for slalom wake size, spray and hardness at both 34 and 36 mph.”

Revels Boating Life, “We were immediately taken by the unique [Gekko] design… it’s clear that corners aren’t being cut… Oh yeah, this is a wakeboard boat. Our testers think the wakes are perfect…”

PowerBoat was just as dazzled, “The GTR 22 tracked perfectly with or without skiers in tow. Our test driver does not give out compliments easily. But when it came to performance…you can’t help but conclude that owning a Gekko puts you at the top of the food chain.”
