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.

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.

Thank you everyone for your responses.

I do agree, our website is, as some of you have said, "sparse"
however, that is intentional on our part. The reason that we
simplified the site is that we only wanted to provide basic
information to individuals that might be interested in discussing a
partnership with us. It is not meant to answer every question, or
provide a detailed business summary for everyone who views the site to
read.

The boat that you see pictured on the website is a generic model boat,
and is not meant to be representative of what we are producing. We do
intend to completely revamp the website when appropriate, however, at
this point the object of the site was simply to provide additional
information to potential partners. The initial boat that we will be
producing is a 22' performance offshore boat, with sleeping
arrangements, and cooking options.

Our intention with this business and design is to allow a wider
customization of the product by the buyer, beyond simply choosing the
exterior and interior colours, and whether to include a marine radio
or not. Our buyers are able to essentially build their boat "from the
ground up". They are in total control of the entire build process
from start to finish. The only aspect that they are not able to
customize is the actual hull. The deck is fully customizable, from
just a basic fiberglass deck with no windows, grab-rails, or sun deck,
to a fully optioned carbon-fiber deck that is stronger then steel. We
also offer a mahogany deck for customers that are interested in the
nostalgic boats of the past, with the reliability and durability that
a fiberglass or carbon fiber hull provides.

Based on our pricing options for the boat, we are able to offer the
boat at a reduced price, while still making a sizable profit.

Thank you again for all your responses, and I look forward to
discussing this business opportunity with interested parties.
