Default Anyone know where we can find capital for our power boat production facility?

We currently have standing orders for our boats, and require capital
for the production of our models. We are prepared to discuss either a
loan or partnership structure, and would be willing to secure the
capital against the boats as they are built, as well as offering
production prices for our products.

If anyone is aware of a source, or is interested in discussing this in
further detail, please feel free to visit our website at
www.CarbonPerformanceBoats.com or contact me directly at



Since lawyers are often involved with setting up business partnerships,
you might want to call yours to see if he/she can refer you to some local
investors.


I am curious as to the available or planned "designs". Not to be
critical, and realizing this is likely a start-up venture, but the boat
displayed on the website looks like another bubble boat "me too" with
construction techniques that are not really unique in the industry. If I
were king, I think I'd be investing in a more classic design after doing a
detailed market survey and analysis of customer's wish lists and try to
develop something "different".

That said though, I wish them good luck with their business venture.

Yup. But if what I see on the water here is any indication, retail
customers are in "me too" mode when they buy that type of boat. Some days,
it's like watching the donut machine at Krispy Kreme. One after another
after another...and none of them turn heads, at least not for me. This, on
the other hand, makes me drool:

But, I'm old.

If I was a venture capitalist, I'd want to know how he planned to get
dealers to listen to his sales pitch, considering that he's going to be up
against long standing relationships with older manufacturers.
