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

I really don't know, because ,well... I really don't know. But I was
wondering, if the boat on the front of your website is really one
you've constructed? Also, from an average (or not) consumers point, I
think you need to add much more info. in your website. It sound like
you're wanting to make an absolute quality craft and not "cut corners"
which is good. But when I looked at your site there didn't seem to me
that there would be much to hold my interest. My advice isn't much and
I know it, but I think you need to pump up your website and it would
possibly aid in attracting investors.

The best of luck to you!

This guy kinda caught my attention for some reason. Maybe it's because I
got a sense of an entrepreneurial flavor to his post which I liked.

The website, although sparse, is well written and transmits a vision of
attempting to offer a high quality product, at least from an idealistic
point of view anyway. I liked it's tone.

Putting aside the fact that I am not a fan of bubble boats, the concern I
have, recognizing that it is based on very little information, is that the
boat does not seem to have any memorable unique attributes to it. It's
going to compete against a score of established boat manufacturers building
similar boats. So, here's the problem. In order to gain entry to the
marketplace they will have to do something to make it unique and desirable.
The only option is price.

The worst mistake any budding business can make is to underprice their
product to penetrate the market, especially on big ticket items. You loose
money and it takes many years of being profitable to make it up. Plus,
it's much more difficult to increase prices, once established.

I realize I am just guessing at this and again wish them success, but to me
there's something missing to justify consideration of an investment.
