Actually, there is a private lake North of Lake Norman in Maiden, NC, titled little Mountain Lake. It is a private ski club lake that host the Nautique Big Dawg Men's and Women's, Queen's Cup, ski events.   For many years, Matt at Race City Marine helps sponsor the events. For some events he set up a large tent to sit under in shade to watch the skiers during the tournaments. He will also bring three or four boats, not 200's, around for people to check out. It is on a long gravel road so there is work in cleaning up boats to take to the event and cleaning them up when he takes them back. I am on Matt's e-mail list and I get reminders as to when the events are held. For this I am grateful. Typically, I will show up for a few hours to check it out and to give the Pro's some tips. He also puts out the Nautique flag / banners. I will admit the last few events I was at he has seemed to scale back his involvement with the events, but Race City Marine has been involved for years. However, the big G Boats bring in the business to Race City Marine. Not Ski 200's.

RCM also has the Centurion and Supreme lines. The dollar amount of inventory on his lot is staggering. Each line demands their dealers to stock so many boats each year.
