High Tide went out of business because Mike, the owner, was getting older and ready to retire. His kids were not really interested in carrying it forward. I do not remember the exact year High Tide stopped making boats. Then a woman from Murrells Inlet bought the molds and business for her son and they started Mi Tide. And have since managed to run the company in the ground due to piss poor customer service, mediocre (at best) boat building abilities and a lack of good help due to the owners son being a spoiled rotten brat. It’s really a sad state of affairs for such a icon in the Georgetown area. There’s not a boat dealer in the area that will deal with Mi Tide and I’ve heard talk of Mike, the previous owner, trying to buy the molds back and finding someone to properly run the business under the High Tide name.
That said I have a 95 1503 that I have owned since I was 18 and it has a blown motor. It kills me not having that boat to ride in every day.

The very existence of flame-throwers proves that some time, somewhere, someone said to themselves, You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I'm just not close enough to get the job done.
