Tommy's Boat, Fort Worth (and thirteen other locations) 9804 Camp Bowie W Blvd, Fort Worth, TX 7 "Tommy’s story began in 1965 when its founder and Wakeboard Hall of Fame legend, Tommy Phillips, got his first wooden O'Brien slalom ski from his brother-in-law (Ed O’Brien)… Over the years, Tommy's Slalom Shop became a known destination for all water sports enthusiasts. Upon Tommy’s retirement and sale of his Colorado dealership in 2012, he entrusted a new team of enthusiasts to carry on Tommy’s legacy and expand upon his original concept. Within 5 years, the high-octane brand now known as “Tommy’s Boats” expanded beyond Colorado, opening four additional dealerships in Michigan and Florida, supplying not only super-premium ski & wake boats but also luxury cruisers, center consoles, fishing boats, and pontoons….Today, Tommy’s Boats is the largest Ski & Wake dealer globally and one of the largest pontoon dealers in North America, supplying a full suite of boat repair services, rental services and retail goods & apparel. Currently consisting of 14 dealerships plus 9 additional on-water rental programs operating in operating in 8 states (Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Michigan, Nevada, Tennessee, and Texas), Tommy's Boats is dedicated to bringing the absolute best products and services to its communities as the first and only dealership network to offer an Always On The Water* guarantee."
